I don't need the others that were in the lot.

Golden Tee 2003 Fore (3 of them).
Wizard Fire
Legion

Anyone need them?

Don't make me slap u paige.............

I love ya but if ur gonna put that thing on a mame cab ur gonna get it

lol

On a second note what would be funny is selling a mame cab on ebay and saying it's the new ultracade that plays 2000+ games then send the link to mr ultrapoo himself hehe

Oh, I am SO putting it on my machine if it fits. I'm not SELLING my machine, but I'll put the marquee on there. I just think it is ironic and funny to do so.

shawnzilla · « **Reply #3 on:** May 24, 2005, 08:35:15 am »

I will have to stop by and see that the next time I'm in St. Louis! Which is in just a couple of short weeks....

It's irony on a base level...but I like it!

I think you should scan it, and upload it to the Vector library for all to use...

Due to unfair competition, we respectfully request that you cease and desist your use of our marquee in your cabinet.

It would probably not be a great idea to give that guy a legal reason to go after the Vector Art Library.

Of course, if it were hosted somewhere else...

walls83 · « **Reply #9 on:** May 24, 2005, 11:18:09 am »

Hey paige what do you want for the Golden Tee marquee?

AmericanDemon · « **Reply #10 on:** May 24, 2005, 11:19:31 am »

I'd be interested in one of the Golden Tee marquees as well.

markrvp · « **Reply #11 on:** May 24, 2005, 11:20:07 am »

That's great Paige.

Stingray · « **Reply #12 on:** May 24, 2005, 11:23:04 am »

Actually, it does my heart good to know that somewhere there's an Ultracade that's been converted into something else.

mahuti · « **Reply #13 on:** May 24, 2005, 11:23:16 am »

That last bit was really funny.

I actually have a vector ultracade logo... I ain't gonna post it though.

Somebody should put it on brandsoftheworld.com. heh. Ain't gonna be me, though.

mahuti · « **Reply #14 on:** May 24, 2005, 11:24:21 am »

Oh, and can you post a tutorial on your process for ultracading your mame machine... something like;

1. Remove all style from current machine, etc, etc.

paigeoliver · « **Reply #15 on:** May 24, 2005, 11:29:19 am »

I won't want much for the other marquees, let me wait until they arrive so I can check their condition first.

Baker535 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 24, 2005, 11:30:37 am »

I think that is great. We need to get that thing scanned, passed around and as many pictures taken to send to David Foley...

I say put the marquee on a Mame cabinet and sell it. Give those stinkfaces at UltraCRAP a taste of how it feels to have the name of your product hijacked.

dphirschler · « **Reply #19 on:** May 24, 2005, 11:57:52 am »

Put it on upside down.

I'll take the third Golden Tee marquee if it isn't already spoken for...

paigeoliver · « **Reply #22 on:** May 31, 2005, 08:36:09 pm »

Ok, I got it in today, it was a PERFECT FIT for my cabinet, only had to trim a half inch on the sides, the height was perfect. I got lucky with the size as the marquee area of my cabinet combines tall and wide in a way that makes most original marquees not fit.

The Golden Tee marquees are in fine shape. Does $8 each (shipped), sound fine for those who were interested? Marquee number one and two have been purchased by American Demon and Chris. Walls83 has a day or so to pay or decline the last one, otherwise it will be available.

Goz · « **Reply #23 on:** May 31, 2005, 08:51:11 pm »

I can just see Foley sending you a cease and desist letter requesting its removal as people are now expecting a better cabinet.

Thats the fun thing, my marquee is completely legal, it is an original marquee purchased from an operator who converted his poorly earning Ultracade!!!!

I plan on setting one up, just need to download the latest Ultrastyle and then cut down the rom list to a manageable number (last I checked Ultrastyle SUCKED with big gamelists).

HoopstarsGarage · « **Reply #27 on:** May 31, 2005, 09:12:56 pm »

Maybe when I have finsihed building my Centipede replica, I can build an Ultracade replica

Except you'd never get anything for it.

btw, that is the best looking Ultra I've seen. Are you going to ebay it? Heheh.

Again Paige, you bring the best.

nice cab BTW. never thought I could get joy from looking at an ultracade, but you found a way.

Nice!!! Put that marquee on up-side down!

AmericanDemon · « **Reply #34 on:** June 01, 2005, 12:22:09 am »

Now if someone made that Ultracade banner with the pile of poo.... now that would be funny. Someone should print that out and send it to good ol Ultracade....

dema · « **Reply #35 on:** June 01, 2005, 12:50:14 am »

Maybe someone should build another Trashcade and attach the Ultracade marquee to it.

NIVO · « **Reply #36 on:** June 01, 2005, 01:00:59 am »

put some of that rubber dog crap on the spinner shaft, and I think we got something here.

No offense but that's a pretty ugly marquee.

ChadTower · « **Reply #43 on:** June 01, 2005, 12:23:15 pm »

Makes no sense to me. You folks hate the guy and yet give him play. Every complaint only gives him that much more power, and putting that marquee on a decent cab only lowers a project you worked hard to complete.

Take it outside, piss on it, and be finished.

You mean you ruined a classic marquee by trimming it

that's one less marquee for the collectors out there

You obviously don;t see the humor in it. I find it hilarious!

paigeoliver · « **Reply #49 on:** June 03, 2005, 04:19:46 pm »

Here is a picture I took especially for all my lawyer friends.

Mame (Trademark Mamedev), Cabinet (probably Trademark Mameroom.com), running the unreleased game "Homercide" (TM Dave Widel), which is a variant of PacMan (TM Namco), which runs on Midway (TM WMS Gaming) hardware and features characters from "The Simpsons" (TM 20th Century Fox), and there is a bootleg Space Pilot board (illegal copy of Time Pilot, TM Konami) sitting there next to it just for fun and the whole thing has an Ultracade (TM Ultracade.com) marquee on it.

See how rediculous it is to have to mention a trademark every time you say the word?

Paige, you are my hero.

EDIT: what is homercide? Unreleased obviously.. but I've never heard of it. Was it just Pac with Simpsons characters?? I'd love some more info

paigeoliver · « **Reply #53 on:** June 04, 2005, 04:29:41 am »

It is a major reworking of Pac-Man, more than just Simpsons characters. Most complex Pac-Variant I have ever played. The rom will be released soon, and the game will be on the upcoming Mad-Pac multi-pac kit.
