Building 2x bartop cabinets (Second cabinet complete!!!)
dmworking247:
Another small update as I got a chance to cut some of the control panel pieces and the bezel for "Bartop A" today.
Bartop A with control panel, bezel, and marquee bottom loosely fitted (not yet secured).
Space invader fan exit on angled back of Bartop A
This is Bartop B (see previous update) with its control panel top routed and loosely fitted (not attached yet)
dmworking247:
Here's some artwork concepts I'm playing with (the designs are just rough... I haven't really decided on a 'theme' yet, nor even decided whether the panels will be black or some other dark colour!
The only colour I know is a given is the bright green T-molding.
A green bubble bobble themed marquee
6-button control panel layout
Another variation. Note the 'scanlines' on the buttons/joystick circles look better than this in high res...
Other ideas:
"Barcade" written in large pixel-style green font, with a row of white space invaders above it, and little 'chunks' being shot out of the letters by the space invader ship as if they were the shields. This is probably the least impressive marquee idea, but it goes with the space invader 'air vent' on the back and would go with those control panel layouts above.
A scaled up screenshot of the game 'tapper' since it goes with 'bartop'. This wouldnt influence the kind of control panel artwork I could go for though.
csa3d:
I like the bottom one. Might be cool if the trackball and button surrounds were scan beams coming out of the aliens' eyes. The Bobble one feels like two separate ideas coming together, and the middle one I'm not a fan of the blobby button surrounds.

No 7th button for Neo Geo?

Nah, I haven't played a Neo Geo game through MAME to date... and even the 6 button fighters only get played occassionally... so a 7th button is overkill, especially for a small bartop (button overload)... although its perfectly possible for anybody to add one if they wanted to use this design.
