Tomb Raider Cabinet
by Armando

 
The project name is Tomb Raider.  I choose Tomb Raider because I feel it is a cool game and that I could also get the Mame machine to double as an arcade Tomb Raider.  I also loved the graphics available on the web.

This is a custom cabinet made by myself based on the Mortal Kombat 2 cabinet.  I used a HagStrom KE72-T keyboard emulator and Happ controls.  I also added a (temporary $19) track ball until I order the real one from Happ.  The CPU is a PIII 667 with just over 90 meg of RAM, ATI All-In-Wonder AGP graphics card and a SoundBlaster 64 Gold sound card.  I am running MAME 32 on Windows 98.  The monitor is a 20 inch.  Currently I can run MAME, SNES and Sega.  Soon I will have few games like Tomb Raider working after I fix a bug that disabled my CD and ZIP drives :-( .  Using a CD changer I will have Tomb Raider III, Mech Warrior3 and etc.. running using the control panel.
