Title: Converting a Zacc Table -> Gyruss (suggestions on Artwork please)
Post by: cebulba on November 21, 2012, 08:54:28 PM
Hi folks.

During my 12 weeks vacation I need to fix all of my arcades. More threads will follow soon :)

Anyway - I decided to convert one of my zacc tables to a Gyruss game. I love this shooter. As far as I know there hasn't been a cocktail so far - seems I need to make it my own.
I would love to hear your thoughts.

Well - this how it looks like:

Glasses
and the controls:

So far I found an upright marquee GFX (US and European Edition), the Flyer, CPO GFX and more.

You know the stuff:

(note: this image looks like the EU marquee, too).

So what do you think of this solution:

I was thinking of editing a larger Underlay for the glasses - similar to the TARG table:

I may be able to extract the space ships and stars from the Gyruss flyer...hmmh...what do you think?

Zacc tables are not that common, so i would suggest to take another table to convert to Gyruss and leave this as is  ;)

1 st for a Scramble, 2nd for a Super Cobra and the 3rd for a Scorpion, Gyruss won't look too good in a Zacc table. :D

Ok - The Zacc parliamentary party already replied :)

Would be easy to convert it back - so no worries guys.

Keep it zacc style, they have lots of space themes

Maybe use this marquee as a base for the top glass ?
