Looks great Jay, and I'm looking forward to the actual play videos too!

For some nice arcade ambiance, you can download background noises from arcade video games at http://arcade.hofle.com/ and some info about his recording process at http://arcade.hofle.com/intro.htm

The files are also on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHvSj1 ... t7eCTyo-OQ

Perhaps you can have those tracks play in the background before someone selects their game. I listened to them while designing my Arcade special encounters in my Iounic Caverns level in Castle Greyhawk---very inspiring :D

Been meaning to get back to you on the suggestion of music, but totally spaced. The images I'm using already have background music loaded into them that plays during game selection, which I think is standard for most of the images but you can custom tailor pretty much anything. I'll have to check out the selection in your links, I can always add more to the mix, haha.

Sounds like a plan, Jay :)
