 Posted: Wed Aug 26, 2009 1:44 pm Post subject: Arcade Scoreboard Ideas |
 |
|
I am looking for cool ideas of how to memorialize the high scores for each of my games on the wall of my arcade. I have plenty of wall space to hang a sign or something. I have considered old menu boards with movable letters, a LED ticker, etc. I just have not found the perfect idea. Thanks.

that'd be pretty cool but would it not be costly?
most people i know just get a whiteboard or a blackboard.

I ended up going with an 80 inch LED multicolor ticker / moving message sign. The entrance to my arcade is an archway, and this will fit nicely above the archway to be used as a sign for the arcade (we call our arcade "Fun-N-Games" after the arcade at the local mall in the early 80's).
This thing can be programmed by remote or computer so that many messages appear. I intend on having the high scores scroll. There are even graphics for it. For example, the message can pop up then disappear by having pacman gobble up the message.
I will post a picture once it arrives and is installed.
Thanks for the suggestions.[/img] |
