MAME Project (Need some input / ideas)
« on: June 20, 2008, 09:38:29 pm »
Last cab i have out in my shop.

I want it to be a horizontal Mame machine.

I have no horizontal machine's

So with TRON, PAC-MAN, DONKEY KONG and GALAGA

I need a horizontal.

So i know it's a ATARI Rolling Thunder.

And it's empty of course. (I would never mame a working cabinet)

I'm a big ATARI fan, But not of Rolling Thunder.

So any idea's ?  Color, Theme, number of sticks and buttons ?

I can tell you it has no place for a lighted marquee. (That will change!)

And i hate the Speaker Grill right above the CP !   :badmood:

So im game for any idea's ?   :)

Interesting!  Never saw that before ?

And it looks like the same cabinet?

Is it ?

If so?

Now i know, 2 joysticks will not be too cramped.

Yup, its the exact cabinet.  In fact, my friend did a complete restore on his rolling thunder and when we went to clean up the marquee it had a gauntlet marquee underneath the RT one...

Maybe I'm a bit dense, but are you saying you already have a Tron, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong and a Galaga or you are wanting a machine with these on it? Cause those are all vert machines ya know  :P

Yes i have all those machine's.  -----> PAC-MAN, DONKEY KONG, TRON and GALAGA

They are all Vertical.

That's why i want this (Rolling Thunder) to be a horizontal Mame machine.

Because all my others are Vertical's.  Make sense now?   :)

I don't like Rolling Thunder at all though.

So i would like idea's for a theme with this cab.
