Threw this together this evening to get some feedback on the layout.
Thinking the elevator would whizz down the screen and get bigger and the game text would whizz up from the bottom.
Want to see if I can put some kinda industrial looking frame around the video too and maybe have that slide into the screen somehow.
Obviously I've got horrendous amounts of work to colour in the missing bits, especially with the elevator moving around...

This is gonna be really cool. My main concern is that the title will be covered by the special artwork.

This sounds like it's going to be stunning! - Very ambitious too!
I for one hope you can pull this off.
The perspective looks mad! (In a good way)
Excellent.

Finished up the background - only took all day - and rearranged the theme. Need to move the Taito logo somewhere better still.
Good point about the special art....I gotta make a layer for that so I don't make that mistake again!
Gonna work on the elevator next. Need to get some shadow behind it
Not only is your theme awesome, but so's your avatar!

Not 1 pixel out of place - Looks like a top clean up operation!
It's an awful lot of hard work but when you see that the end result is looking as good as this then it is so worth it.

Awesome job! Glad to see your hard work is paying off.
I remember finding this on MAME for the first time and I was instantly hooked.

Approved and available for download.
Note: Remember that MAME themes should be named after the parent rom. In this case "elvactr" should be used. This will ensure that it loads properly when any clone is being used (if the parent info is listed in the xml).

mattedsmith just re-uploaded a few of his themes with slowed-down flash animations. I redid the title on this one to match the screenshot b/c I think it goes better with matted's awesome graphics work. If anyone objects, I can switch it back.
