Awesome work so far!  Err...

 ;) :D ;D

Rando:
Initial Theme concept:
After a heated "discussion" with my wife (non-cab related!  ::) ) I got the idea for a marquee/theme similar to a Capcom vs type theme, with guys vs girls, wife vs husband, sort of thing.

Left side of Marquee would be my name with a bunch of male characters posed for battle (fighers, Pac man, DK, dirk, etc.) and a blue/light blue theme.  Right side of Marquee would be my wife's name with a bunch of female characters (fighers, princesses, Ms Pac man, etc.) and a Red/pink theme.  Console would not include names, would just feature red vs blue, male vs female characters.

The blue/red theme seems to be common, but I'm thinking this would be a nice spin on it.  The Marquee with our names might be a bit cheesy and personal, but would be fun to see and she would likely be my foe in many of the games.

Thoughts?  Been done before?  Good examples?

Also based on above I'm leaning towards trying to build the button console myself.  I have done some electrical work (repacing light switches and fixtures, outlets, etc.) so hopefully that experience will help.  Hopefully I'll at least be less likely to receive a shock! ;) Reviewing the boards to see if I can find some instructions on where to start.

The cab's right there, he just hasn't phased it in quite yet  ;)

I like it.  If you choose to remove the names on either side, you could always have a nice big "VS" in the middle ... kinda like in Scott Pilgrim, if you've seen that.

Seen it, read it, love it!! :)  Wife does too, maybe incorporate Scott Pilgrim elements...

Oh my, this does have the potential to grow into multiple machine concepts doesn't it?  :o :o
