Don't make me slap u paige.............

I love ya but if ur gonna put that thing on a mame cab ur gonna get it  :police: lol

On a second note what would be funny is selling a mame cab on ebay and saying it's the new ultracade that plays 2000+ games then send the link to mr ultrapoo himself hehe  ;D

Oh, I am SO putting it on my machine if it fits. I'm not SELLING my machine, but I'll put the marquee on there. I just think it is ironic and funny to do so.

I will have to stop by and see that the next time I'm in St. Louis! Which is in just a couple of short weeks....  ;D

I think you should scan it, and upload it to the Vector library for all to use... :)

Due to unfair competition, we respectfully request that you cease and desist your use of our marquee in your cabinet.

It would probably not be a great idea to give that guy a legal reason to go after the Vector Art Library.

Of course, if it were hosted somewhere else...

Hey paige what do you want for the Golden Tee marquee?

I'd be interested in one of the Golden Tee marquees as well.

Actually, it does my heart good to know that somewhere there's an Ultracade that's been converted into something else.

That last bit was really funny.

I actually have a vector ultracade logo... I ain't gonna post it though.

Somebody should put it on brandsoftheworld.com. heh. Ain't gonna be me, though.

Oh, and can you post a tutorial on your process for ultracading your mame machine... something like;

1. Remove all style from current machine, etc, etc.

I won't want much for the other marquees, let me wait until they arrive so I can check their condition first.

Ok, I got it in today, it was a PERFECT FIT for my cabinet, only had to trim a half inch on the sides, the height was perfect. I got lucky with the size as the marquee area of my cabinet combines tall and wide in a way that makes most original marquees not fit.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v92/theboobookitty/ultraquee.jpg)

The Golden Tee marquees are in fine shape. Does $8 each (shipped), sound fine for those who were interested? Marquee number one and two have been purchased by American Demon and Chris. Walls83 has a day or so to pay or decline the last one, otherwise it will be available.

I can just see Foley sending you a cease and desist letter requesting its removal as people are now expecting a better cabinet.  ;D

Makes no sense to me.  You folks hate the guy and yet give him play.  Every complaint only gives him that much more power, and putting that marquee on a decent cab only lowers a project you worked hard to complete.

Take it outside, piss on it, and be finished.

Here is a picture I took especially for all my lawyer friends.

Mame (Trademark Mamedev), Cabinet (probably Trademark Mameroom.com), running the unreleased game "Homercide" (TM Dave Widel), which is a variant of PacMan (TM Namco), which runs on Midway (TM WMS Gaming) hardware and features characters from "The Simpsons" (TM 20th Century Fox), and there is a bootleg Space Pilot board (illegal copy of Time Pilot, TM Konami) sitting there next to it just for fun and the whole thing has an Ultracade (TM Ultracade.com) marquee on it.

See how rediculous it is to have to mention a trademark every time you say the word?

EDIT:  what is homercide?  Unreleased obviously.. but I've never heard of it. Was it just Pac with Simpsons characters??  I'd love some more info :)

It is a major reworking of Pac-Man, more than just Simpsons characters. Most complex Pac-Variant I have ever played. The rom will be released soon, and the game will be on the upcoming Mad-Pac multi-pac kit.
