Uncle T sold me the steering wheel from Mom's arcade. Still need to figure out a good use for it!

That's a museum piece to people in this hobby. Put in on a plinth below a framed picture of Mom's Arcade.

I can see it now...

Matt sold me the CP from this game. We needed a new roof for the patio.

Clear the runway...

How about:

Winner's Circle (I know it's square, but you look encircled with fun)
Belly of the Beast (basement)
Mash 1UP

What's your favorite game in there?

Alpha Centuri

My favorite so far.

Mike A · « **Reply #88 on:** August 31, 2018, 07:44:06 pm »

That's pretty good. I own 5 centuri cabs. There are more good entries than I thought there would be.

Shipping Ian? If you win bring your family down. Have a beer or 3.

yotsuya · « **Reply #89 on:** August 31, 2018, 07:55:11 pm »

If we’re not allowed to shill for our own, I like Alpha Centuri as well

Xmas lights in August, hell yeah...

Mike A · « **Reply #94 on:** September 01, 2018, 06:07:17 am »

I just leave them up. At one of my parties the kids asked me to turn them on. I said it's not Christmas time. They didn't care. They love them so they go on at every party. I plan to replace them with RGB LEDs eventually.

Call it the Arquarium.

If that is not kid friendly, I don't know what is.

I've upgraded to those led moving spotlights you're supposed to shine on the side of your house. They get really cheap after holidays. I just put one on top of a machine and point it at the ceiling. Kids love that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.

Titchgamer · « **Reply #99 on:** September 01, 2018, 12:17:51 pm »

I thought we had a forum agreement not that long ago that all these places would from then on be known as Nerd Dungeons? :p

But if ya naming it how about "Uncle Mikes Playtime Emporium"

I used your suggestion and did the same thing. I mounted it to the back of my machine - looks cool.

Mike A · « **Reply #101 on:** September 03, 2018, 08:47:14 am »

I am putting together a list of finalists to present to to my kids. We will have a winner today. Thank you to everyone who participated.

Mike A · « **Reply #102 on:** September 03, 2018, 12:47:16 pm »

Alpha Centuri is the winner. I really liked Time Tunnel. My daughter liked Mom's Arcade, but she would have tweaked it to Mom's Place. My son just isn't ready for that. He liked the Wooden Nickel. We all agreed on Alpha Centuri. It sounds very '80s. It fits in with all of the Centuri cabinets I own.
Congratulations Vigo. PM me when you decide what you want on your plaque.
I plan on ordering custom tokens to go along with the sign. I can throw a couple tokens in the mail to any participants that want them.

I'm satisfied with the results. Fine choice.

This contest was rigged. Gimme back my entry fee.

Mike A · « **Reply #111 on:** September 13, 2018, 07:14:22 am »

Okay. We have a winner. Now it is time to design the actual sign. It will be CNC cut and hand painted. I will also need a logo version that is token friendly.

I am going to need a lot of help with this. So buckle up. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

This is my first rough idea. I just printed out a Centuri logo and roughed out the Alpha part with a red pen. I figured there would be a way to add a space ship or something to the logo to give it more life. It needs a good color scheme and a background.

Feel free to post ideas here. If this first idea sucks just tell me.

GearHead · « **Reply #112 on:** September 13, 2018, 08:47:50 am »

Throw a Jupiter 2 in there looking for Alpha Centuri.

jennifer · « **Reply #113 on:** September 13, 2018, 10:35:59 am »

I must be missing something quite apparent to everyone else, After you learn how to weld, Try some photoshop....

Mike A · « **Reply #114 on:** September 13, 2018, 10:54:07 am »

Yes Jennifer. You missed the point entirely as usual. I am looking for sign design ideas right now.

I never use Photoshop for creating CNC friendly vector files.

Put out your cigarette, open the curtains, and try to keep up.

jennifer · « **Reply #115 on:** September 13, 2018, 10:57:39 am »

Well when your done you can name my spare room too... Your parents must be so very proud.

At first glance I read Poptart Panties and was all of a sudden interested.
