Title: Name My Arcade Machine
Post by: wildbil52 on August 18, 2015, 04:04:24 PM
I'm coming up on creating marquee artwork for my Hyperspin cabinet.  Instead of giving it a simple MAME or Hyperspin Marquee, I was thinking about naming it something a little more personalized to me.

Looking for ideas.  I'll go with Bil's Arcade if I must but I was hoping for something a little catchier.  The artwork has a Space theme so far if that helps.

What do ya got?

"All of the Games"
"Space Bil 2000"
"Bill's Arcade"
"Bil Space 2001"
"Mortal Bilbat"
"32X"
"Silent Service"

Do something out of the ordinary, maybe "Bill's arcade"? :)

Sadly, I probably won't come up with a cool name until well after you've made up your mind.

However, I am curious to know if you already have someone in mind to do the artwork. Am I correct in guessing that your good neighbor RussLyman is the first in line for that commission?  ;)

If I ever did a Nintendo themed arcade, Russ would be first in line.  I found a guy who has done a lot of custom arcade graphics and who has a good relationship with a printer (a person who prints, not an actual printer)

Take a classic game and photoshop your name into it. Something like "Bilger Time" or "Bilzerk". Or just mod it so that all of the game names that should have double letters have just one like "Zaxon" or "Tenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" ;)

I happen to enjoy Classic Game Room and their "Intergalactic Space Arcade" bit, so it'd be fun to parody that: "Continental Land Arcade" or something inane like that.  I dig Mortal Bilbat, however.  Or go crazy and do "Bil's ULTIMATE PARTY HAPPY FUNLAND" or something equally goofy.  My ideas suck, I know  :slick:

Throw back to the classic arcade game show with "Starcade"?

Yeah, gotta 3rd this suggestion for the tie in with Bil's name and his overzealous love of hockey.
