My vote = Chrome Legs  @@*

Now - to sound like a  !!@ I think the translite needs 'something'  - Maybe instead of the wording going straight across in that strip, the text could be shaped to fit in the upper left section ( yes behind her arse ! ) and maybe in a more fitting 'island' style text  !@#  Worth a look Spacies ??

Will there be flashers behind the boobies  *!@

That's not the official translite (at least not at this time). Just makes the "flyer" look more complete though.

No worries.
But it does look quite good.

Maybe Spacies can try a few things with it anyway and see where it ends up  !@#

I'm in favor of the Chrome legs, and the current Translite.

The topper needs to be added - That was going to be a Lawn Mower ?

I think a volcano with a red flasher would look great - Two coconut trees either side with 12 volt fans providing the player with a nice cool change "Super Jackpot".

Should translite say "Welcome to Coconut Island"

maybe "let the Island take you on a fantastic adventure"

Here's a very early shot of the topper - it now has a little fan inside that blows the grass out the catcher during certain modes!

Sorry mate, you don't need to add the topper!

Love the flyer!  I'll offer thoughts anyway since they're really cheap.

You'll want the actual translite there eventually, but when you put it there, don't you dare file the coconut girl away.

I'd make the machine look like it's sitting inside a stick hut or treehouse with big open, wide windows, mirror the girl and make her look like she's peeking in at you over the machine while drooping in from under the top of the window. Tuck that "would you leave" in there anywhere and it will be seen since it's a high-profile starburst anyway, and it will be more subtle and humorous. That will frame it in so it's not floating in space, and give the coconut girl more interesting context.

More great work man. Too cool.

$.01

p.s. Sorry, maybe that IS the real translite idea. I'm not sure what the fellers have in mind for the display and was thinking it would be taking up some space up above. I'd have to say that she would win some "best translite girl" contests if she ends up there somehow.

I feel more like I do now than I did when I first got here.
