That is! I just watched the movie last night with my daughter.

Take it from me, the old saying "its easier to ask for forgiveness than permission" is quite true (for arcades & pinballs, strippers & toot... um not so much).
As your attorney I advise you to convert an existing cab, you will save a poop ton of money/time.
:cheers:
Donkbaca:
I disagree. If you get a gutted cab it'll proboably be in bad shape. You will have to strip art, sand, finish, fill, build a new cp, mount the monitor, mount a marquee. The only thing easier about it is that it takes less tools
TOK:
You have a huge advantage in the fact that your wife is artsy and into comics. Artsy types seem to love games, and you can show her lots of comic themed games. In addition to the already mentioned Batman games, show her Marvel vs. Capcom, Punisher, Cadillacs & Dinosaurs -there must be 100 more comic tie-in games in MAME.
My wife was an easy sell... Arcade games seemed so safe, clean and homebound after years of riding & racing dirtbikes.
Capt.Dreamer:
I am lucky.
She'll be kicking ---my bottom--- in MvC and any other fighter. Its not the games that we need to figure out, its the design of the cab. A minimal half cab like Knieval's Woody is ideal for size but not ideal for Art as there isn't much surface to work with.
Also, we might want to do something artsy with it instead of just artwork. Something like this:

Of course, im not sure I have the design ability, let alone the skill to even start on something like that.
