Need inspiration... cab theme

Ugh..  Hit a roadblock in designing my cab.  I don't know what to go with.... :cry:

I guess I want something that evokes a complete sense of growing up in the 80's and 90's in arcades: sights, sounds, etc.

Seems most of the pinball cabs I see are PIN-this and most of the arcade ones are that-CADE  :blah:

I dunno just looking for something different.

You need to build an arcade cabinet with leg warmer coin slots and a frizzy hair marquee that utilizes multiple styling products. Loop some Duran Duran on your ghetto blaster speakers and you're all set. It will be totally rad.

Or you could pick a specific cab from the era to build from scratch. Was there a particular game you went to the arcade to play most often?

A back to the future cab?  Dunno. The 80's and 90's didn't do a lot for me, design wise.

WhereEaglesDare:
Do a Ronald Regan vs The Commies.

Regan with dual M16s sleeves rolled up, leaning on a stack of skulls blowing away the commies.

Don't call it anything. When you're friends come over to play on it, just say 'check out my frickin cool cab'. It needs no name...
