A timelapse conversion from Ms. Pac-Man / Street Fighter II to... Donkey Kong Junior?!

You thought a Street Fighter II in a Ms. Pac-Man cabinet was odd? Join me as we make things even weirder by putting a coat of "Nintendo orange" paint onto a Midway cabinet and end up with... a Donkey Kong Junior?! Madness! :)

This is a timelapse restoration/conversion video, with just a little commentary up front. I find it fun to watch other people's restorations, so I thought others might enjoy the same. Enjoy!

If you want to see a few high-res photos of the before and after, you can head over to my website where I have a blog post about this project ▶ https://www.justin-credible.net/2024/...
