Trying to come up with a cabinet name:
« on: February 05, 2008, 09:51:59 pm »
I'm really bad at the whole cabinet naming thing.

Since Rampart was the game that inspired the 3 trackballs, and I'm going for a Rampart'ish type CPO and side art theme (I think?  :laugh: ) I was thinking something like:

Rampart Redux
Trackball Madness
Rampart Trilogy

Need some ideas any feedback please.

Meditation station. (IE those metal balls you move around in your  hand to aid in meditation) Could even have the side art showing a hand with three meditation balls in them (Even tho two are normally used)

Balls to the Wall

You could have a brick patterned overlay with, well, do I even need to go there?

I like leapinlew's first suggestion.

Good one, and you made me think of:

Great Balls of Fire

Which would be esp good if it was also a Juke machine as well :D

Just avoid MAME or CADE in the name and it'll be fine.

How about Mamecade?

OK, seriously, though. I like the names about the trackball.

Track Time?
ThreeTrack?
Triple Track?

Since Rampart was the game that inspired the 3 trackballs, and I'm going for a Rampart'ish type CPO and side art theme (I think?  :laugh: )

What about:
"The Siege Engine" , "The Ballista", "Siege Weapon" , "The Crusader" ,
"The Dark Ages" , "Medieval" , "Medieval Madness" , "The Conqueror" ,
"1066" , "King Maker", "Norman Conquest" , "Charlemagne" ,
"King of Wessex" , "The Holy Grail" , "Field Of Combat" , "Knights Of Yore" ,
"The Broadsword" , "The Bastardsword" (that one is a medieval weapon BTW) ,
"Knight School" , "Longbow" , "Trebuchet" , "Archery Law" ,
"Castle Defender" or "Castle Attacker"
"Medieval Warfare"

Best Regards,

How's about BFC, as a ripoff of the BFG in Doom. the C of course stands for cabinet.

Side note, you must really hate whomever plays player 3 trackball. Why else would you cock block them with a big yellow joystick? ;D

Just messin with ya. It turned out alot better than I imagined.

Lol, it actually plays without hitting any other controls.  We did about 2 days of layouts to ensure there'd be no hitting other controls or being track-blocked.

Hmm, even if no one else does, I like that one. 

Three ball CP, mame to switch juggle games, and I can juggle pretty well (in threes that is).  If you don't use it I might....  That's if I finally start my cab instead of playing with my balls control panels. ;D

I like the three balls
But confucious was wrong  "man with 3 balls can't walk" :laugh2:
"Ball Juggler"
"Balls of Fury" already used as a movie title
You could have AC/DC's Big balls as a boot up sound.
