Spitballing some ideas for customs. (1 Viewer)

Let's say I have these two images.

(If you know what these are and where they came from, you can see where I'm going with this.)

I'm thinking a custom ceramic chip with these two guys on it would be orange with purple highlights and accents. I have zero skills putting together chip mockups. Working title is Pixel Poker Room. (I'm sure a better name will come along.)

What do you think? Could this be a neat set?

 

[FDLmold]

Here is the yellow chip, with a choice of highlight/accent color.

Black chip, choice of highlight/accent, but I simply picked my favorite opponent.

,,,If you know what these are and where they came from...

Unfortunately, I'm old enough to remember these guys.

Q-bert! First attempt at 3d graphics. If only the damn analog stick understood which block I wanted to jump to....ever....

I do like where you're going with this, but my set would look like this:

 

[FDLmold]

My best early memories are late Atari, late golden age of arcade games, and all of NES. Basically all non-computer gaming in the 80s.

 

[FDLmold]

And some Intellivision. My cousins had an Intellivision forever.

 

[Quicksilver-75]

Long live ColecoVision!

I'm in the very early stages of an 8-chip cash set BTW. 5c 10c 25c 50c $1 $2 $5 $20. If anything comes of it in the next 6 months I'd be surprised, but if I hit it off with the right designer, and the right Black Friday deal comes along or something, I could see that happening also.

green chip, many choices for secondary color

 

[FDLmold]

love these guys

Ahhhh. The greatest game ever made (Zelda). My father's friend and Co-worker bought this for me when we were in Detroit. My dad was working on some GM project. I want my kids to play this.

Brown chip, choice of highlights

 

[FDLmold]

Red chip

Same here. I played that game every day

I do like where you're going with this, but my set would look like this:

^^^ I see a yellow 25c chip, a red $5 chip, and a grey $100. Needs a white $1 chip:

...and a lime green $20 chip:

If you want the Galaga images, they are here. The stage icons would be cool too.

Why stop?

Not sure why so many denominations. .05 and .10? .25 and .50. seems too confusing, but, to each their own

 

[FDLmold]

Sample sets are much cooler with more denominations. At most I would put 4 denominations on the table at one time.

 

[crussader]

.. The stage icons would be cool too.

Stage icons for the tournament set.

not the same. I would save my lunch money for after school. Get a bag of chips, coke, and play two games of Galaga. Those were the days.

Can remember playing Q-Bert also, he never jumped to the desired block when i played either!

Mega Man 1?

 

[Ellasdaddy]

I keep clicking 'Like' and throwing my credit card at my screen, but nothing happens.

Just start a sample set request thread now, please.

The Mega Man theme blew my mind. I'd have to throw a Snake Man green chip in there somewhere.

 

[FDLmold]

I've got 8 chips, trying to decide which theme for which chip. 4 arcade and 4 NES? Colors? Which are my favorites? I may get out some sort of image editor and start futzing around.

 

[MikesDad]

Love this idea.... Q-bert FTW

 

[Ronoh]

Mega Man 2 (the best one)

T5 Quick Man
T25 Wood Man
T100 Heat Man
T500 Air Man
T1000 Crash Man
T5000 Metal Man
T25,000 Bubble Man
T100,000 Flash Man

 

[FDLmold]

Zelda
Duck Hunt
Super Mario 3
Punch Out
Q*Bert
Pac-Man
Donkey Kong Jr
Mega Man 2

Solid list.

So if arcade sprites are in the artwork for these chips, is that going to cause a concern from anybody who would print these from the legal/trademark/copyright/fair-use-or-not mumbo jumbo?
