Don't worry it's not another plea for someone to make them artwork I should be ok with that what I need is a Name/theme I have to many ideas to pin one down,

As well as the marque,side art,cp art
I also want to cut a shape out of the
Front so you can see the PC and I want to backlight it.

Here's the machine to give you inspiration
It's got a high end PC for new games
And old games,it also has a xbox 360 fitted for Rockband etc
I like comic book, stuff, fighting games,sci fi

Thank you in advance I'll give the best idea full credit in my build post

After reading that you like comics and then seeing the side profile, Mr. Fantastic immediately came to my mind. Perhaps a Fantastic 4 theme? You could have Mr. Fantastic on the sides. The Thing on the kickplate, maybe holding up the CP? And the Invisible Woman and the Human Torch on the CP.

first of what does rockband have to do with MAME ??
i mean .. if you have the high end pc, why do you need xbox 360 ?

about the theme
you said you liked comic, fighting etc..
why not take the best fight games, like mainly Street fighter, soul calibur, mortal combat, and aranged them all in a really cool looking graphics ?

as for the name it's up to you..

I dunno, I am inches away from making a Kimmy Gibblercade that links head to head up to an Urkelcade.

You know who else could choke on your almonds? Blanche!

Just say it. You both want the theme to be based on the Urkelcade.

Is that even a question? Who doesn't have a burning urge for some Urkel Action?

monkeychunkuk · « **Reply #25 on:** January 25, 2014, 06:06:17 pm »

I'm kinda regretting this post ; )

yotsuya · « **Reply #26 on:** January 25, 2014, 06:37:23 pm »

I will personally assist with printing the Urkelcade artwork if someone ever offers to build it.

With Urkel.

But seriously, what's your favorite arcade-related thing? A videogame in a movie or TV show, perhaps? My first MAME cab was named "Starfighter" after the one in the movie.

Personally, I'd stay away from sports teams, non-arcade-related TV shows and movies, or anything that doesn't make sense. I mean, we're building arcade machines, right, not Pinterest boards.

My $0.02. As always, do what you want, but that's how I approach it.

How about an X-men theme based on the classic 6-player versions in the arcades?

I can supply you with the X-men graphics that I have so far relating to the project. Read more about the artwork project here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,88872.msg1343951.html#msg1343951

All of the characters have been completed and a slew of elements. They just need to be pieced together. A custom X-men job on your arcade would look great. Just a thought...

Contra.

There hasn't been one done before, and it's a solid game.
