Cocktail cab themes

[jeepguy81]

Moon Cresta...

There was a cocktail of this out in the wild, but it just has a set of instructions on top, so I kinda mashed up some diff artwork for it.

Credit to Bodydump, I nabbed some artwork from his theme.

madness, just madness, I can't keep up, excellent work big guy!

another for the pickin, any suggestions, (i dont care much for the CPO, just tryin somethin new)

[EvilDindon]

Great work dudes, please keep'em coming.

Moon cresta is def. a classic must have.

Sorhp- yeah that viewlix-ish cpo looks a bit weird. hmm....im not sure what all is layered but what if that sky background covers the table, but with that color orange outlining the table, with like a 5px border maybe? On that cpo pic, what if you used those alternating green bands that the icons are sitting on as the layer for the cpo, maybe outline the buttons and the joystick hole with that yellow they used on the cpo.

Just ideas, but I like the layout, good stuff!

[SORHP]

I was combining these two, and adding a little flair...

here is the revision

[jeepguy81]

Yeah sumtin like that! Very nice

Here's Scramble..

Pretty much a dup of the cocktail. Technically Konami developed it, but the CT table looks to have been put out by STERN, so I decided to stay with STERN for the style of it. Theres some really nice graphics for it so I may do a Konami version just for fun.

** doesn't show in this, but in the final artwork there is an instructions box on p2 side**

lo and behold... Armed Police Batrider!

fixed color in wheel logo and cpo logo to match instruction logo

just found this and i think its great, any idea when do you guys plan to release the themes? thanks

[jeepguy81]

We release them as we go, its a continual work in progress. For the games we haven't gotten to yet, there is a default theme available. You'll need to donate for FTP access, they are under the uploads section.

thanks...... keep up the good work.

thnx abispac!

Here's Zaxxon, this is another one that only had a flyer or just instructions for a CT table, so i just went with a fairly simply design. Mostly influenced by one of the game flyers.

never-the-less... looks great

[jeepguy81]

Congo Bongo...

Been meaning to do this one for a while. Credit to BBB, i nabbed a few pieces of artwork out of his theme. Close match to the flyer, minor tweaks here and there to fill some smaller areas in.

[SORHP]

You are killin it!, It looks so clean, I wonder if it would look good or be original (historical) if you used a blue sky instead of peach?

[jeepguy81]

good idea, i'll try a few diff shades of blue, put some small clouds to fill it out a little.

jeepguy81 Zaxxon and congo bongo look great, i like the color on the art work already it matches the game flyer they had out at that time

[jeepguy81]

I tried a blue-ish background on congo and it really threw the balance off. Plus the coloring of the artwork is close to a water color type of feel to it, so a solid sky just looks off. Good idea though.

Here's Anteater.

Pretty limited on artwork so I just expanded on the idea of the marquee artwork. I might add a cloud or two to this sky though.

These look great But, if they are going to be on a Actual cocktail machine I think they would look better like this:

That way players on each side of the table can see the full art/control panels, it would just look better on a cocktail in my opinion.

True, and I did try a full table when I started thinking about these. The prob I had with it was in order to keep the table in the right proportions, when spaced back for the wheel images, the table top ended up being somewhat smaller then I had liked. Just a project I started for myself but decided to share in case it could help anyone else.

Hi Jeep, more amazing work from you. Love the latest items. Any option to post some of the lastest work? I now have the cab setup and your themes are amazing.

[sslakkerr]

Have to say awesome work! Got this set up in my DK Jr mame'd cabinet and it looks great!

Any chance of making a theme for Jumpman Returns/DK2?

[jeepguy81]

browser - Thanks dude, I will put this last bunch of themes I finished together and up no the ftp over the weekend. I'll post as soon as they're up.

sslakkerr - ah good call, forgot bout that one. i'll dig round for artwork this weekend and tackle it.

Speaking of new ones, heres Super Zaxxon..

From what I could find there was a cocktail for this, but it looked to just have the instructions, no graphics at all. So just winged it. Did find CPO for it though.

Way cool JeepG!

I've been fighting jtag xbox360 woes!!!, anyone wanna pm me tips on getting the nand flashed back to my old one ( I screwed up an update to the nand)

I've been following this tut ...

http://forums.afterdawn.com/t.cfm/f-152/__how_to_do_the_jtag_hack_dump_nand_xell_tutorial_-823187/

Once I get this tackled, I will start a few new Shmup Themes, just wish I hadn't screwed up my 360!

[jackhammersalm]

BBB this should get a nod for it's own section on the FTP

Jeep they are truly beautiful piece of art my friend

keep it up

[jeepguy81]

Thanks "jhs", glad you like them.

I would imagine once 2.0 is released, we will probably see some sort of "vertical" spot on the FTP. At least at that point there will be some official support for the themes, as it is now it's mostly a work-around.

FYI, im uploading the last few themes to the ftp, should be done in a little bit. Background and Glass top layers as well.
