I've decided to call my machine "FLASHBACK". I've picked the cover art from the Flashback game from the early to mid 90's as the background to work with. Here is a link to the full cover: http://acorn.revivalteam.de/Pictures/Cover/fbfront.jpg (http://acorn.revivalteam.de/Pictures/Cover/fbfront.jpg)
Here is the marquee so far:

My plan was to integrate faded out pictures into it, faded/washed out so that the original art was still visible and you could pick up suttle details of arcade art in it. I've played and can't get anything I like. Do any of you guys have any suggestions?

Just a suggestion, but I would definitley look into getting a nicer effect on the text-- Looks kinda wierd as flat blue beveled text over the background. Maybe chrome or something similar to the original Flashback art. As far as the characters, maybe pick a couple you really like, and make them most prominent, and then pick a couple secondary ones and make them less visible using masks,etc. to help flow with the b/g. What prog are you using?
