Game Over, My first MAME attempt
« on: November 01, 2004, 06:57:45 pm »
Here's my first MAME attempt, I know it's kinda plain looking right now but I'm still working on artwork for it. What you guys think of my first try?

I have a 25 Inch monitor sitting im garage and an over under coin-door waiting to be installed. And my marquee is almost done being designed :) Then just need a CPO.

Looks good, sure its plain now but good artwork is a major part of making an upright cab like that unique.  Is it a scratch built cab?  I like the method employed for holding down the control panel.  Looks very functional.  Is that the monitor you will be using or just a tester...looks small for that cab.

Looks good.

I used the same method to hold my CP down too..

works great.

Nice job.  The wiring is very tidy and I do like the method for holding down the top.  Gravity holds mine down but I'll be keep that idea in mind for future projects.

Excuse me sir/m'am, can I see your naming license please?  I believe Game Over is the name of an upstanding BYOAC forum member, not the name of a cab...we must confiscate that marquee.

Nice job!  Lookin good.
