Well I thought I was going to be original and name mine the "MAMECADE" :laugh2:  but apparantly that would be bad  :banghead: so I guess it's back to the drawing board. 

ummmmmmmmmmm 

ArcMAME?

Mameasourus? 

Arcadeasourus?

Arcadeology? ............Actually I think that one is clever, with some sort of archeology theme, maybe unearthing some old cabinets from a dig. Hmmmm.  Yeah I don't think that one sucks.

It took me awhile to come up with mine too (Arcadia 2007) -- but there's some family history behind it--see my "Inspiration" page on my cab's site:  http://www.freewebs.com/vidmouse/inspiration.htm

I think tying in a little of who you are helps.

My cocktail table was/is called "Knights of the Arcade Table" and it had a Jedi Knight theme (Obi-Wan, Vader, Yoda, Aayla and Darth Maul with lightsabers out) for the table overlay but the artist I hired totally flaked on me after I paid him some money for producing some prototype artwork - I email him every month and he promises he will get it to me but it never comes - what can you do?

Crack him in the kneecaps with a baseball bat? 

Won't mamemarquees do custom work?  I'm pretty sure they'll do design work for you.

I think it just seems like overload to those in this community.

Whatever your machine is called it's going to be unique to >99.9% of the general public that has never even imagined such a thing existed.
Your buddies aren't going to look at it and say "Geez, not another black and blue cab with a generic MAME marquee".

Methinks we're a bit jaded.
