X-Arcade is the joystick, but the joystick itself was customized to look like a NES controller. In addition to removing all the original graphics, painting it, and putting on a custom NES label, two of the buttons were replaced with red ones as well to further push the NES theme.

The cabinet itself it completely custom and was built entirely from scratch. There's a space under the joystick where a laptop running our game goes. If there's a glitch in the game demo, it just slides out like a little drawer and we reset it quickly (the trackball acts as a mouse on it). The base is also completely separate so it can function as a stand-up arcade cabinet or a tabletop one.

Here are some shots of the cabinet construction in process:

The demo isn't available on the web. Reason being, the game isn't finished yet and people steal flash game files all the time from our site and put them up on their own sites. It's really easy to do, so we'd rather wait until the game is actually done before we put it up online.
