Rather than order enough LED little displays, get one of those "Message Signs" that are used to display messages at Cafeterias, Schools, Offices, and such.
Pro-Lite, Beta-Brite, ColorCells, and others make them!
Chris:
There's a cabinet that uses one of those... many titles need to be truncated or abbreviated to fit, and it doesn't end up looking like an arcade machine at all. A backlit color LCD would look a lot like a real marquee.
Yes, this would be hyper-cool, but there are probably a lot of other things for a cab you could spend the same amount of moneyon and be equally cool...
Alsoi remember that the support circuitry for the LCD screen extends beyond the visible screen... this screwed me up when I tried to make an LCD instruction card...
