Aussie Lowboy Style MAME Cab

[RetroBorg]

I bought an empty black lowboy cab a few years ago and have decided to get my shit together and get it happenning!

I took a pictue of the side of the cab and have played around with some graphics on it, thought I might go for a Space Invaders type theme but am open to any other suggestions but prefer something old skool.

Also looking for a name, prefer something original but I can't think of anything.

Just looking for some opinions, suggestions etc.

Hi RB.

Have you posted a similar thread to BYOAC ?

I think you could get a lot of good ideas there.

Hi RB.

I think you could get a lot of good ideas there.

I haven't yet as I thought this forum would be better as it contains a high concentration of skilled themers like yourself and HyperSpin's strength is it's artwork.

I've also noticed through the feedback that people get here, especially on the themes I've made the end result ends up being so much better for it.

The other thing I've noticed is when I'm looking to do a new theme for a game I really like and I look through all the artwork I can find and I think to myself that's a pity the artworks no good but then all of a sudden one of the HyperSpin themers here release a theme for that very game and use the artwork in a way I hadn't even thought of.

I guess I'm hoping someone here will think of something real cool I haven't thought of.

I'm not looking for anything too fancy, just some good graphics to slap on the side, I guess the key to this cab is the shape of the side and finding something that fits nicely.

What did you think of my proposed sideart EvilDindon?

What would you put on there if the cab was yours?

Once I can decide on some sort of theme I can work on a name, marquee and control panel artwork.

Cheers.

Man that looks awesome like that I think. Very classic.

Cool, classic is what I was after and kinda of generic as Space Invaders pretty much is the game that started it all.

The other thing that is good is that artwork is available in vector graphics.

Any ideas on a name?

I'm thinking something generic but not using the word Mame, maybe something with the work "cade".

Retrocade?

Hypercade? (running HyperSpin of course)

I like the sound of hypercade :D has a nicee ring to it.

Yeah it's very classic looking like that.

Hypercade sounds good for an hypserspin cade.

What about Warpcade or Warpcab ?

"Retro" is too much used by people, not very original.
