Like it !

Robotron and Sinistar would be cool too ! Mappy and Dig Dug too.

If we're on the subject of making fabricy type things, I had a custom Mappy shirt made up for the last Comic-Con. Red piping on the sleeves like the t-molding on the cab. I have a pair of matching Goro ears too

edit: yeah, seriously how long did those take to make ?!!!

almost 10 hours each if you count the time of cutting, design, making the actual pillows to fit inside the covers, and turning the tops into covers.

Are these made of hemp cloth?

^ lol

BTW if you search Etsy for "arcade" you can find a variety of hand-made arcade-themed things. They tend to be pricey, but well they're hand-made in the US (mostly) so if you think about how many hours it probably took to make, you realize they aren't so bad. No I don't work for Etsy

oh snap! (yep I said that)...very cool.
I've been waiting for a good pop culture item to start on the joust pages.
I linked over to this thread with your images.
If that person wanted to give more info about the project, (mini-interview style) I will write a little page about it.
thank you.

Neat. I will see about sending over some contact info this evening to your PM.

Were these made as a wedding gift or used in the ceremony?

Just a wedding gift. Would have been neat if both the bride and groom liked arcade stuff enough to have them holding the rings or something like that.
