No Luigi for L? I am disappointed. (although I might be wrong. Wasn't there a Mario Bros Arcade game?)

[johloh]

thanks for all the ideas!

Yoshi!

If I had to...but the goal was to go arcade on it...

Yakuza or Yu-Gi Oh maybe?

not sure what yakuza is, and isnt yu-gi oh a card game?

nice ideas mud! but yuck, I dont recognize a single game on the Y list!!

No Luigi for L? I am disappointed. (although I might be wrong. Wasn't there a Mario Bros Arcade game?)

there was! I could definitely use that..

[johloh]

hmm...maybe I should do this NES instead. hmm....

The arcade idea is great!
You can make the frame for each an arcade cab and the screen be the picture!

M should be Ms Pacman so P can be PONG! But then then there is Mappy, too, damn. So many good ones!
N can be Neo Geo? KLAX FOR K!!! * YEAH KLAX! UmJammer Lammy? It was originally an arcade game but doesn't really fit.
There is like, nothing good for U, damn! HOUSE OF THE DEAD FOR H! Yay zombies. Or Hang-On. Ikaruga? That game was awesome.

I got frustrated with the arcade theme for a bit, and ran with the mario enemy theme because its easier...

not great parts...
yoshi isnt an enemy...but, hey...what can you do?
for V i went with a virus from Dr. Mario...not great.
Z I made a custom sprite for a zombie mushroom from paper mario. not great either.

are there any that you would change? some spots obviously have multiple possibilities...

can you name them all????

I'm thinking about using this ikea frame maybe...its $2 for a 3 pack. so it'd cost me about $20 to individually frame them all. or i could make it one big project too...
