well let's turn this into the token slogan thought process thread....


1) Take it to the next level

2) Building your childhood dreams

3) From wood to pixels

4) I promise honey this is my last cabinet

5) pixel pleasure from past to present


that's what I got so far... keep them coming

Slogan:  Mmmmmm, Mmmmmm, BEEYOTCH.

Not really arcade related, but funny nonetheless.

Also funny:  I'm Rick James, Beeyotch.

OK, this is the discussion thread for slogans. Thanks guys.    Lets see if we can develop a consensus, if not we can vote.

Personally I am fond of Kev's "Build. Restore. Play." slogan, and I'll add a variant: "Build. Play. Repeat"

"Arcade Gaming Your Way"
"Rebuilding the Past"
"Experience the Classic Arcade"

well I suggest we keep throwing ideas around for a couple days, then we start discussing which ideas look the most promising and try to knock it down to a dozen or so then we take a vote on them.......

My personal opinion is that since this token has an 80's feel with the old school invaders tails and the cocktail cabinet on the front we go with something that mentions replaying the games of our youth

I agree -- we need to brainstorm for a while, throwing ideas into the ring, then we have a big gladiator match, where the strongest ideas beat the  :censored: out of the wimpy ideas, and once we wash off all the blood, we have our champions!

(Or something like that. Anyway, we're still in the brainstorming phase - just throw in your ideas, and make note of the ideas that other people suggest that you like as well!)

FYI the slogan will replace the "All your games are belong to us" that was used as a generic template during the creation of the designs....

Only if 'all your games are belong to us' is voted down.
