Could use some input
« on: January 31, 2014, 03:57:57 pm »
I'm going for a classic/retro theme (cabinet is a black dynamo HS-5)  Check out the draft and tell me what I'm missing to make it cool looking..



The gray circles are just for reference as to where the cntrol panel has been drilled--they won't actually be printed...

I like it menace.  Think something should go around the buttons that match the Bezerk stick arrows.  But, thats just me.

 Are you doing a theme?  Gamers Galaxy might be cool.  Have you found some side art or a marquee yet?.  The Astronomy Picture of the Day website has good pics. 

I think its a tish blue for space.  Is it going into a darkly light room?  UV reflective Ink would be cool for the pointy water wheel and the joystick arrows.

Thanks for the input so far!  I'm sort of building the theme around this hoping I get inspiration as I go  ;D  I actually lightened up the CPO a bit since the cabinet is a big black blob--needed a splash of color...

For sideart, I'm thinking of a mash-up of space invaders, berzerk, missile command, defender.

As far as a name--I'm stuck on arcade classics since that will suit it--but its been done to death I know (especially by me  ;D)

I didn't get the waterboard thing either * :dunno*

Could be--the background is the reflective art from an old SI deluxe machine--maybe one of those artists was a scotsman...
