Building Your Own Skeeball Game?

Squarepusher wonders "When a friend of mine started talking about building his own skeeball game, I knew exactly where to go for the scoop on this undertaking. Many people seem to be making their own arcade game cabinets now-a-days, but hows about skeeball? Does anyone have plans, tips/tricks, or knowledge of the inner workings? In short: Where does one begin and what exactly is my buddy getting himself into?"

It might be more fun...

To build Virtual Skeeball. Or Virtual Virtual Skeeball.

"Wow, I could swear I was really playing Virtual Skeeball."

Standard Slashdot joke...

So anyway, I'm triyng to imagine a Beowulf cluster of those things, and I just see a whole bunch of geeks giving each other concussions...
