Making a Mini Arcade Machine

Mark Sagum, an architect who builds miniatures, cuts a vintage Pac-Man cabinet out of flat plastic sheet — the side art, the marquee, the bezel, the screen. The best moment of the build is the smallest: the joystick is a washer with a pushpin standing in it, and at that scale it reads as exactly right.
