@yotsuya sorry for all the litter in your project thread. I look forward to the build!    Ironically enough RetroMultiCade Station has a nice ring to it

that is actually not a terrible name.  i can't tell you why, though, every other "c/kade" suffix I've seen reeked of poor naming.  Yours doesn't.

[opt2not]

I too am sorry to muddle up your thread yots, but...

Again, opinion.  My opinion differs from yours, that's it.  Don't take it personally.

I stated a fact, not an opinion.
..and it's true, LeChuck has brought a lot of insights to building arcade projects. Don't know if you're aware of this, but this forum is for promoting the building of arcade projects. Your loss if you're here to learn and build. Your stubbornness if you can't see the value in LeChucks humour, construction methods, and ideas.

I didn't like LeChuck at first, I admit that. But he surprised me, perhaps you will too. Stick around for awhile.

Agreed. Great use of the "cade" word, it just rolls off the tongue!

[opt2not]

Thanks for the link. I now understand.
Poor yots...really sorry about the thread nose-dive. I feel somewhat responsible for waking the sleeping dragon.

Here, let me attempt to get back on track:
- The Portal
- The Wayback
- Back in tha day
- Galaxy Power 2084
- Enterbox (entertainment box)
- The Cube
- Press Start
- Carpel-tunnel-a-nator
- Power Up
- Glory Days (wait, this might have been used before)
- Old Games Here
- Game Module
- Power Module
- Max Power

Funny thing is, I completely agree with Sandheaver 100% on the use of -cade, Retro-, multi-, etc. That's been sooooooooooo played, like character collages, blue lightning and the like (although I still think Shoryukade is genius!). So leave her alone- we agree on that one! 

I like the suggestions so far. Keep them coming, BOYACatrons.

You cut me deep just then.  <wanders off to tell Darkade she's still pretty while listening to "The Time of My Life">

Naw, Darkade is cool because you didn't call it the Darkcade.

Just some quickies off top of head, might be corny, but might give someone some insight to some other names..

Babel - since its has mixture of all consoles

A.R.C. - arcade retro collection

Old Cool - instead of old school

RELIC

R-Cadium

I like Naph's suggestion best:  Hug's Anyone. 

It's a light-hearted theme.

[Nephasth]

 

Naph... that's a new one...

[opt2not]

I have no idea why my phone preferred an A to an E.  National Association of Professors of Hebrew perhaps?

wth. 

[Vigo]

let me say for the record that yotsuya has been the only person who has engaged in this behavior but later conducted themselves in a manner in accordance with his status as a human being.

Aww, Sandy, you don't like me? I was gonna show you the secret best friends handshake too....

A character collage says: "I have absolutely no  idea what to do, so I will randomly throw together stuff that I somehow think is related, hoping it will magically be much cooler than all images combined."

[yotsuya]

Needs more Urkel.

[Le Chuck]

Is that Webster wearing an Energy Dome?    

[Howard_Casto]

Hugs anyone? 

Hugging is for girls and children....  commence with the fisticuffs and then afterwards the loser buys.

[Vigo]

Needs more Urkel.

There is a lot more I wish I could have thrown in there. I wish this little gem was more cabinet friendly:

OK time to get ideas rolling again. Here is a name idea, but more for fun:

[mandijames]

I really like the REPLAY Idea.

[lordnacho]

I've said it before, War Games(maybe WOPR) theme.  Will eventually get to it when kids are older.
Thinking flip switch buttons, modem noises, arduino running the randomly flipping passwords.

I may have just played through that three of four times in a row 

Thanks for the awesome link

Thanks, Mandi. So do I.

WOPR is a good one, too. Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. You guys rock!

[jdbailey1206]

I know it's probably decided but you could always do NEStalgia.  That was my theme before Le Chuck saved my butt and helped me with my Spaceman Spiff Theme. 

Also.  Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Le Chuck?  How could you ever mistake Gary Coleman as Emmanuel Lewis.  Thats crazy talk.   

[jdbailey1206]

Forgot my NEStalgia marquee.

  Didn't notice you said Webster. Yep, that is indeed Arnold.

I like at NEStalgia marquee. I like replay too! 

[yotsuya]

NEStalgia would be awesome for a NES only. Good job! 

[Nephasth]

Are you going to include a video out connector so you could hook this up to a TV and play from a couch if you wanted?

[Le Chuck]

You mean the guy from the police academy movies that makes the noises with his mouth?  Heard he was dead.

No, since it's an all-in-one, I won't. I was going to to that if I used the NES as the case, tho.

[Vigo]

My only suggestion if you are gonna go with Replay theme is remove the real photo of the joystick from the marquee. I think it looks a little off when the nes pad on the right is a 3d vector style image. Otherwise, I like the style a lot.

[yotsuya]

Vigo-

I might use Jmike's suggestion about using consoles instead of controllers. I'll post it for comparison.

[Malenko]

find those wireframe images of the classic consoles, they'd make a swell backdrop.

I have the ones that guy made and posted here recently. They are full renders.

Late to the game....(hey that's even a good one  )


How about Carpal Avenger?
