Video game inspired theme for my project car

[hu6800]

Talking bout...
Im just recovering over a bad run in with being alergic to penicillin and not knowing it haha.. But as soon as im on my feet and messing around
with the tools again (im a autobody and graphic design freak) im
gonna start my 1989 honda crx project car.

I want to do a theme to the car that has to do with a video game.
I have my own garage and plotter machine so i can pretty much pull
off anything from "Defender" to "Warhawk" but i figured id ask the pro's.


here is a quick pic of the car and kit .

NO GTA... NO NEED FOR SPEED,, NO HALO,, i dont need to get pulled
over every time i hit the turnpike lol...

Ok so just to let you know what i was thinking about doing...

R2-D2
DOOM 3
CHORO Q
ZELDA
SPLATTERCAR

ive already done...
Quake II
Quake III
Mario Kart

so i wont do those again...

I do plan on doing stage by stage pictures and discriptions of what gets
done as time goes by until its done.. i just gotta find the proper theme.

since your car is from 1989 you should model your car from a game from 1989

a list of arcade games from 1989 is below.

dude your user icon is already bringing up idea's
but the way im doing the body style up will make it look more modern
so i dont think the year matters much.

Zelda seems like a cool idea. I dont know how you would go about it to fit a car but.

No GTA, but you'll do DOOM 3?

Just do Zelda, man. It's one of the most recognizable games and everyone on the road will know who you have on the car.

Well...

You could use most of the colors from a certain zelda box art...
i could put the tri force on the hood...
I could make the "ice rod" from the game the gear shifter...
make the horn sound like an orcarina ..

you just have to use your imagination.

you dont have to live with the car dude (i love Id software games)
put on your happy face and just give a suggestion...

I can even make the windows green or rainbow ...
but whats to say a NEO GEO car wouldnt rock just the same?

Alien Crush or Devils Crush. That would be truly badass.

Is that your quake tatoo? NUTS! @_@

[Goodwill Hunter]

This seems too obvious for a VG car theme...but how about DEATHRACE!!!

http://home.swipnet.se/~w-33411/deathrace.jpg

I can already see the misty graveyard running the length of the car, with the reaper on wheels on the hood or doors. Perhaps that's more retro than you wanted, but if I saw that on the road, it'd sure turn my head around.

Good luck with your car!

Im starting to think about how a FF7 theme would look on a car.

[gamergary]

Try Zelda or Deathrace idea and the link in your DP post doesn't work.
