Hey Vertigo,

don't mind him.. I think he's just pointing out the fact that lots of us when we get started want to stuff as many characters as we can into our art.  That's what I'm doing and I'm perfectly  comfortable with that for my first cabinet. I sorta like the logo, or at least feel it should have some sort of logo.  I'm printing two marquees for cheap as a test of how they will actually look (10 each).

I like the timeline idea, but honestly I'm probably not going to go play around with Marquees for a while.  I was doing it more for fun, so I'll probably go back to that when I have the cab (I'm working mostly on setting up the comp and a control panel). I don't really want pixel stuff in there though.

Do you have an example of how the timeline looks? I mean, have you done one? Maybe if I focused on one character that would be cool (like mario)

Thanks for the idea!

It was a joke because it's exactly what I wanted to do at first, and have seen many other new people think the same way. It was nothing personal (well, kinda personal, considering I was mostly making fun of myself).  :cheers:

I didn't use it, just made a mockup:


I made a six-window of my 6 favorite games (with custom art), and then made a custom CP for one of my machines. I went all black on another, no graphics anywhere. My third, i did a full resto on the cabinet.
