I had decided on the theme after I had built the cab. It was going to be a Mervel vs. Capcom cab, but then I saw about 50 cabs based on that theme, so I went with something more retro.
As for the sideart, I created it from crappy photos from the web in Illustrator then sent the files to Scott at mamemarquees.com.
That movie brings back memories, but I will never stoop to Tron Man level and create my own suit.
Alex taught me everything he knew before he was lost in battle. Not even the entire Kodan Remnant can stop me!
