Looks great Alan!!! However, i think this was another "look at me" thread by Mr. Alan..

LOL.....Hell Yes! As who else but the fine folks who frequent this forum can really appreciate all this crap we spend our time doing.....

Looks great. Out of curiosity how long did you Asteroids high score take? That's a solid game.

I would guess between 1-2 hours or so. I remember thinking I was just going to play a quick game and ended up sitting there for quite some time. I'll have to make a serious attempt in the future....as Asteroids is still one of the classics I enjoy playing....great game!

That looks great! Love the rocket, very creative.
That Sprint 2 score...WOW. What track was that on? You must be in 4th gear almost the entire race to get a score like that.

Yep......flat out in 4th gear all the way......

Letters from Schooloutfitters (3/4" Gothic) and the board from Globalindustrial.....they had the best 2 prices I could find even when paying for shipping twice.....

Can you get any other colors or sizes? On my menu board, I am starting use red 3/4" letters for the initials and white 1" letters for the game names and scores. It helps keep things easier to read when you start filling the board.

I met this company at a trade show a few months back- D.C. Jaymes. They don't carry the large boards any longer, but they do have letters: http://www.wholesalecentral.com/dcjaymes/store.cfm?event=showcatalog&catid=19497

I'm sure you can get all kinds.

I have 3/4"....1/2" and 5/16" letters....all are white. I'm sure mixing colors and sizes would look interesting....but also would be a significant expense because of how many numbers or letters you get with each set. I remember BITD them all being white letters on black high score boards and red letters on white menus....but that is just what I remember.

I bet no matter what you do....a high score board is going to look kick-butt in a home arcade....
