Title: MAME Unleashed - First MAME conversion project
Post by: MATTWOOKIE on February 04, 2006, 11:37:05 am

Hello everyone,

This is my first MAME conversion and I am looking for some input / opinions on the first draft of the side art.  I am using an old NBA Jam cab for this project.  I want to use neon or some other light source to illuminate the Space Invaders eyes, inside leg and inside arm and perhaps a coat of glowing paint around the outline.  Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

I'd do the logo in a comic style, 2 or 3 colours so it matches the main artwork. It looks like the art was ripped from 2 different machines, you've got 70's character art and a late 90's logo. As for glowing paint, I'm not to keen on the idea. Bold coloured artwork on a black cab will stand out with very low lighting.

I like the "UNLEASHED" on the first one but I dont like the Mame Lettering.

Looks like a cool Idea.  Cant wait to see you done with it.
