Arcade machine names

So since when does arcade refer to a game cabinet?
I'm sure Batman would have named his personal arcade, which he kept in a secret room in the Bat Cave, the Bat-Cade. If it was just one box, maybe the Bat-Box, or Bat-Cabinet, or possibly Robin's Achilles Heel, if he was really feeling creative. :dunno

A single cabinet is called an "ARCADE MACHINE". Being that MAME emulates many arcade machines, it is fitting to call a MAME cabinet an "ARCADE" as it contains many different "Arcade Machines" all in one package.
So there!

I told you I was going to post my marquee and here it is. Honestly spend some time in photoshop or something and just do a bit of editing and you can come out with something thats orginal and looks good. Im not to happy with this but I have done better things for other projects.

I'm not a graphic artist, nowhere near, but as deadkenndys1105 said, "spend some time in photoshop or something and just do a bit of editing..." ...!

I think it is safe to say that around here MAME is the most popular emulator. Mix in the fact that maybe a lot of people are good (natured?) and want to show appreciation for MAME developers hard work, so they implement the name into there machine. I say good on 'em for it too! However, to each there own.

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.
