Ill post my custom marquee when I get home from school but I called it Omega-X.  It kinda fits my cabinet because it was going to be a black and blue cabinet but I never painted it and im not going to because now that I know what I do im going to redo it some time soon.  Lets just say my cabinet was sub par and I fixed it up some what as much as I could but now i going to full out redo it.

Hey fellow cabies,

Mine is called ARCADE EXTREME.  No pictures yet, sorry.  As for the literal definition of arcade, KenToad, it is "A commercial establishment featuring rows of coin-operated games", which you already knew but really who cares.  Not you, the definition. :laugh2:

KenToad:

Herk,

I think Arcade Extreeeeeeeeme! would be a pretty sweet name for your box.

Anyway, I'm not jeering the brain fart and general conformist behavior of naming a box, Mame or Arcade (mostly kidding, since I've seen some great projects using these names).  I'm simply cheering those who see outside the box or have a firmer grasp upon the meaning of arcade.

Encryptor:

In my case I would love to have custom artwork made for my machine. Unfortunately things like mortgage and car payments get in the way of hiring a professional graphic artist to do the custom work for me since I'm not particularly artistic myself.

Hence I will probably have to settle with what I can buy that's commercially available. Most of which has MAME or ARCADE or something similar in the name. Just the facts of life. Either that or wait 2 or 3 years to save enough money to hire someone. But we all know how that goes.

As soon as you have most of the money for that special thing you want the transmission falls out of your car as your flying down the interstate. There goes what you've saved. Again just the facts of life. So my cab will no doubt end up with MAME or ARCADE in the name and graphics.

Doom bucket:

My arcade cabinet is named "Incredolous Revenge: Alpha Death 2"

On the marquee, the left side is an erupting volcano, and a dude is snowboarding down the lava while shooting an UZI. On the right side, two penquins are locked in mortal combat. It's awesome.
