Thanks for the warm welcome and comments! I'll check out the intros section!
As far as build details go, I scaled down an actual MK arcade cabinet using ms paint and excel, and designed how I was going to incorporate all of the components inside the cabinet minimizing dead/wasted space as much as I could.
I had seen other people make tiny arcade machines, including a mini MK arcade, but hadn't seen too much in terms of a two-player machine, so I decided to give it a go and it turned out real well!
The cabinet runs off of two plug and play versions of the original MK arcade game, so it includes the fatalities and blood, but has subtle changes in background graphics and music. Overall, it's pretty true to the arcade version of the game, very fun to play against others.
