I'm gonna sleep on it. definitely can use some music from some of those classic cyberpunk films for the atmosphere though (my frontend allows for music and sound effects to be played back while choosing a game)

I've got a few ideas from various cyberpunk media:
The Neuromancer (from the book, written by the guy who wrote the story which inspired Blade Runner)

Slipstreamer (movie of the same name)

Arcadedrome (after Videodrome)
Kyle Orton (7-4) in 2009: 214/344 (62.2%), 2447 yards, 12 TD, 6 INT, 1 fumbles (0 lost), 0 rushing TD, 87.9 QB rating
Jay Cutler (4-7) in 2009: 253/404 (62.6%), 2671 yards, 16 TD, 20 INT, 7 fumbles (1 lost), 1 rushing TD, 74.4 QB rating

The one from 1989 is the pinnacle of 80s cheese. It's a terrible movie. It just sounds like a cool name for an arcade cab.

I think so. I'm pretty sure of it :P

I like the name though. Now I just have to start getting some mockups done in photoshop. The Quad Laser took me 2 months to build from conception to completion. This one's going to take longer but will end up better.

NEXUS 6...it just fits. Thanks for the idea Jason.

y'know? designing the artwork for this thing is going to be a bitch and a half. It has to be perfect or I won't put it on the machine because that's just how I am but cyberpunk in general isn't perfect. I just has to fit perfectly with the style.

Time to do some research...

and just as the machine shuts down it says:

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die."

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die." Loved that little speech.

If you're going to keep the ATHF skin, NEXUS 6 goes perfectly with it.

Oh, I don't mean like an inside thing or anything.
It just kind of goes together.
NEXUS 6 is sci-fi, Moonites are sci-fi.

The only way I'll ever be satisfied with this machine is if I actually live the part. That said, I'm listening to a dark psytrance/Industrial radio station and will be going to the book store tomorow to look for some William Gibson and Phillip K. Dick.

Watching Tetsuo, Akira, Serial Experiments Lain, Ghost in the Shell, Blade Runner and such are also on the to-do list.

I have to surround myself in it. Get through the culture inside and out and live it for a few months before I'm going to even think about conceptualizing the visual aesthetic of the machine. This one's gonna be for keeps.
