I wanted a name that "sounded" like something I might have played in the 80s.  I'm like you - I didn't want MAME or arcade in the name but I can kinda understand a lot of people giving credit to the MAME programmers for making it a possibility.

If you think about all the different skills needed to build a cabinet:

Carpentry
Computer knowledge (which encompasses quite a bit)
Artistic ability
Electronics
Budgeting (some of us don't have this skill so much)

It's easy to see that someone may not be that artistic, but can manage the other aspects. It's easy to order a mame marquee and graphics and instantly have it mean something.

You just gave me an idea for my next cab - the MameCicle!

The only reason I didn't use MAME in the name is that anyone playing the thing would have no clue what MAME meant.  I just named the beast knowing that it would do more than just play classic games.   Name it whatever you want.  It is your baby.

I chose Mame because I suck at art and I could get a pretty sweet design thanks to both Knievel and Scott and mamemarquees.com
