My Pacman profile cabinet (finished!......99%)
c64rulez:
Thank you all for your great comments.
There has been a slight twist of events I'm going to share with you here. A special visitor came to my house yesterday.He's half a brother to me (we both have same father), and I never saw him - I'm talking 31 years here.
The thing is, I had no idea he was coming, and frankly I didn't believe we would ever meet someday, so you can imagine the surprise.
It's the kind of story most of us usually hear about or see once in a while on a newspaper, but don't get to be a part of.
Well, I did.
However, I can't leave one post here without a proper reply. And I'm talking about this one:

I hate this guy. He's too good at everything and he's ruining the curve for us mortals. He's obviously some sort of hybrid mutant.
;D Awesome work dude.

They say that it is not the hand that actually performs, but the hand and mind that guides it. So.....
ALL BLAME GOES FOR DREWKAREE ;D
Thanks again, and have a lovely weekend.

I too would have chose the blue background marquee on its own but after seeing the mockup it's BLACK all the way.
What about making the Total Replay text bigger? You could even slightly overlap the perspective lines of your characters. (your eye will still complete the perspective lines and you text shouldn't cover it all up anyways) Right now your text height only takes up about 1/3 of the width of your marqee. That's a bit small in my opinion. If you made it closer to 2/3rds in height I think it would really pop.
In the end it's your cab; just ideas.

Well, it has been a strange weekend for me indeed. I still don't realize that I've met this half brother of mine whom I didn't ever see. You can't even scratch the surface of things in such a short period of time, but we promised each other to keep in touch.
I attach a picture of us just for the completeness of things.
BTW, I'm the green alien on the right.
On a different note,

Thanks for your comment. Black it shall be.
As for the size of the text, I'll give it a shot, but my marquee has two "dead" zones (where it meets the upper and lower MDF panels), so any graphics that goes there would be kinda lost.

C64Rulez....
Regarding your supposed half-brother. Many people on this board will attest to the fact that relatives start popping out of the woodwork once you build an arcade cabinet. Your building of an arcade cabinet AND reuniting with a long lost and UNKOWN relative is surely very suspicious?
HA! I crack myself up.
Congrats on the family. Family is good!

Now that you mention it, I can't find my cp, and all the blueprints have mysteriously vanished. ;D
