theme ideas for my dedicated classics cab??
hulkster:
okay, so once i get my showcase cabinet stability issues resolved, its time to start my next cab! woohoo! i already have the shell and the controls, i just need to think of a design/artwork theme to it. its going to be all classics that use 4 way joysticks only. i havent determined if i want a spinner or not...there arent that many classic games that i like that use a spinner so i dont guess i would need one. ANYWAY, two 4 way joysticks with 2 buttons each (sound good?) and will only play classics like frogger, donkey kong, pac man, tapper, etc.
so what kind of theme for artwork should i go with (i know thats more of an artwork forum question, but this covers a lot of different topics) and what should i call this cab? my showcase is called the Mamestrosity so i dont want to have anything with Mame in the name.
DeathMonk:
I've always liked tasteful collages of classic characters.
Stingray:
I always like cole slaw. You could have the first cab themed around shredded cabbage. ;D

I'm going to be building a classic cocktail soon. Rather than use classic characters, I'm coming up with some original classic/retro artwork and shapes. I found a website that has a whole bunch of ready-made vector graphics to get me a head start. I can point you in that direction if you proise yours won't look better than mine
hulkster:
well considering that i really have zero graphics design skills, giving me vector images would not be pretty. they would copied and pasted and printed ::) im looking at different artwork websites for marquees, side art, and cp art. still need a name though
