Or just make the cabinets a different shape.

I did have the same idea when I was at the casino and saw, what I think are LCD, marquees on top of some of the machines. I went looking and found the website that manufactures them. IIRC, they start at $1,000 and go up. I'll see if I can find the manufacturer again.

I think a LCD panel that displayed the marquee of the current game your playing would be pretty cool, but not worth paying a ton of money for.
My cabinets are meant to remind me of my fun times at the arcade. Games had marquees so I build mine with marquees.
I paid homage to mame in my first design. I didn't use a full size MAME logo as my name, but I don't mind that people do. You can see I used it in the lower corner. I think it's pretty cool when anyone builds one of these things - I'm not going to get hung up on the name.

I agree, it would have to have some type of functionality other than the occasionally changing image. A touchscreen does come to mind.

How about an arcade machine that doesn't even have a computer in it using a Mame marquee?

A touchscreen marquee? That's an interesting idea.
