Need inspiration... cab theme
Griff08:
Metal Slug Theme! That righteous game does not get enough love!
BadMouth:
splatter paint it! (use lots of pink, yellow & pastel blue)
You didn't give us much to go on, so this is what you get. >:D
Might help to know what types of games you would play most on it or what kind of music you were into.
Spur of the moment, but I'm thinking KMFDM album covers or Frank Kozik style artwork would make for a very cool cab.
(just add a joystick shaft under the earth)
Bender:
Check out the art on wee-cade and Artifact

Thanks all for the suggestions. I think that perhaps my question wasn't coming across the way I meant. I do not mean that I want an 80's/90's themed cabinet. I meant I want a cabinet that encorporates the "feel" of games of that era into it. I saw a really cool cab that I think used pacman dots as an outline with randomly placed arcade artwork all through-out. I want something like that but I don't want to copy.
What I'm saying I guess is I don't want something that focuses on mame, or on hyperspin, or even just on one single game because when people come over, they don't know what MAME means. I want it to be familiar to anyone who grew up in that era..
I hope that came out better!
I liked the one guy's cab name of "Endless Credits" also

Have you looked thought the whole control panel thread. There are some awsome ones there. I like the one that has the picture of a lot of characters from the past, superheroes, and villains etc.
