Limeaid Arcade

I frequently keep up with the going’s on at the BYOAC forum (Build Your Own Arcade Controls). People use the forum to talk about, get help for and document every imaginable issue related to the collecting, restoration and rebuilding of arcade games. This includes something called MAME (Multiple Machine Arcade Emulator) which allows someone to build a custom arcade cabinet and then play any arcade game ever produced like it was a real arcade machine. Every once in a while someone posts something that catches my interest from an artwork standpoint. A guy I will only ever know as “eds1275” started a project to build a cabinet for his nephews and their theme was “Limeaid”. He posted his idea for a marquee and kind of ask what everyone thought. Foe some reason I had an idea, so I created a marquee design for him and posted it back. He liked it and after cleaning it up a little I uploaded it for him.
