Title: "Head 2 Head" 2 Player Fighting Machine
Post by: bmrust on August 07, 2007, 02:46:35 pm

I built an "arcade in a box" a few months ago (no pics yet) and have not posted anything about it yet, because I was debating artwork for the top.

Well...i think i finally finished it.

The only games it will have are fighters...and I love the marvel vs. capcom games

Some basics:  It is a 30"x15"x8" box, with a CP on top.  Inside of that box is a complete computer system.  The back panel has RCA Video and Audio outputs, a Power Button, and the Power Cord.  It's meant to be a mobile gaming system (so i can use it on my Dad's 42" Plasma when I visit him).  I'm hoping to get pics up soon.

comments, suggestions, questions?

Based on your CP artwork and the fact that it's a fighter cab only, I'd name it
"Head to Head".

Nice CP.

I like that title suggestion from (+_+), (whose name is surprisingly easy to type.)

I like the 'instruction card'.  Nice.

I really liked the Head to Head idea....and here's what I came up with.


Also, no pics yet of the machine, I cannot find the cable that attaches my camera to my PC.

I'll get them up soon, just not certain when.

Why not Zero and Megaman instead of 2 megamen? Dont get me wrong, I love the look you have, was just curious.

Also, I really like the instruction card too...except I use both middle buttons as block in MK , its easier then remembering which is block and which is dead.

I cant wait to see the cab.

The toughest part of the artwork, was finding something that was either already vectorized, or something that could be vectorized very easily.

localarcade.com has a lot of pictures, but nothing that i liked/matched the megaman style.

if you have any images, or suggestions on where to go, i'd love to see em.

thanks!
