The Dharma Initiative Arcade Machine
Posted by admin in Humor, Lost, Technology on April 3rd, 2009
Yes, I actually built this. In my garage. Yes, I could probably outdo Hurley for the world’s biggest geek award. But … it’s totally worth it.
Note the custom Dharma logo it uses. I know, that’s really awful, but… I had to.
Also note that it’s running Galaga. That also happens to be the name of the submarine Locke blew up a couple seasons back. It was so named, I’ve heard, because the writers played a lot of Galaga while they were brainstorming ideas for the show.
Oh, and it wasn’t planned from the start to have a Dharma Initiative theme. I’ve wanted to build an arcade cabinet for years. Thinking up a theme for the decoration came later, when I decided I didn’t just want another plain-jane “MAME ARCADE” theme for it. Why build something crazy like that if you’re not going to be unique? I bet I’m the only person in the whole world with a Dharma Initiative arcade game!

One must be a consummate nerd to actually build something like this:
The Imperial March on Tesla coils
Then again, I’m the guy who built a working Dharma Initiative themed arcade machine in his garage, so I probably don’t have much room to talk.
