Besides being an awesome movie, my wife and I escaped the rat race and bought a horse farm when we migrated from NY to NC, so that is the real meaning of it.

You need to get UAE running on it so you can play NY Warriors!
Best attract mode ever, and an excellent game. Although it was based more on "The Warriors" than that other movie.

A #1 Great theme!
Will you be including some of the orange wireframe vector style HUD imagrey into your artwork? The simple map of the wall around manhatten would look great.
Snake's 'Death Clock' might also make a nice addition somewhere - if you want to get really fancy you could probably hack an LCD alarm clock to match up with a graphic of the 'death clock' and make it even cooler and more functional.

Yes, I plan on making that my CP overlay... I am going to try to do some framegrabs and see if I can vector trace them. The movie poster is going to be the side art, I think. I figured the shutdown sound can be the president saying "Duke of NY, A number 1"... I will have to go through the movie to really see what artwork I am going to use...
This weekend is mounting the monitor and filling in the holes. It's been great, but I am worried about mounting the joysticks, that being the last of the real cutting left, and I don't want to have to buy more MDF if I mess up! :) The only other worriesome spot is cutting the plexi with the router (decided to chamfer the edges instead of buying thinner MDF to equal 3/4")
I faked up a quick Marquee just so I can see how the lighting is working. I have attached that below, too.... GIMP is a pretty complicated program!

For fun this monring, I did a quick image search, and I think I found the perfect image for the control panel... I want the first, but maybe I can overlay that second image onto the marquee somehow...
