Author Topic: What do you guys want pictures of? (Read 3817 times)

paigeoliver · « **on:** April 06, 2004, 02:51:51 pm »

Ok, I am finally going to break down and buy a digital camera. Since I am famous around here for long text descriptions with no pictures, I am asking.

Is there anything in particular you guys wanted good pictures of?

Quick collection recap.

Road Blasters (Upright).
Kangaroo (upright, sold, but I still have it).
Dynamo caberet with trackball and PC installed.
Victory pinball.
Do! Run Run (dedicated, truly is, read the klov board for details).
Battlezone (half stripped).
Atari Basketball
Star Wars cockpit.
Defender (Mame).
Amazing Maze (Mame).
a couple of Pachinkos
Gorf cocktail mame
Magical Spot cocktail project (future Pac-Mame)
"Galaga" Mame (Formerly Artic Mini Mame).
Sprint 2
Sega Turbo
Stunt Cycle
and a Stargate that I STILL haven't picked up yet.

Beat me to it. I was going to say Nicole Kidman in a compromising position....

Sorry P.O. - the subject was just begging for this type of response!

I would like to get pictures of the instruction cards showing how to play the game. (usually on the bezels). These are hard to find on the web.

Thanks!

paigeoliver · « **Reply #4 on:** April 06, 2004, 03:03:14 pm »

I will photograph every instruction card I have tonight then. (Not sure how many I have, know I have Road Fighter, Do! Run Run, maybe some others?).

How about a NICE PIC of Kelly Bundy before you get with it.

hulkster · « **Reply #8 on:** April 06, 2004, 06:25:36 pm »

okay, sorry paige.....didnt mean to stray off topic this much. quick, somebody say something relevant!!!!

For the vector artwork archives, I would like good pics (or scans) with some detail shots of the following (if it's not too much trouble) Highest res is in good light is preferred. If you can get me some overall shots, with some closeups on the details, I can put something together that is good enough to vector trace. Even if the photos aren't perfectly straight, I can straighten them out in post. My biggest concern's are

1. Overall shot for reference (so I can put everything together)
2. Detail shots (for tracing)
3. At least one photo with decent color quality so I have something to get the color from if it doesn't look right in the other pics.

(for reference see localarcade.com/4images... we've been busy

)

Top Priority
Stargate Marquee, bezel, cpo (detail pics of CPO)
Battlezone marquee, side art, bezel, cpo
Road Blasters, marquee, side art, bezel, cpo

Nice to have.
Star Wars cockpit; side art
Gorf cocktail; any
Sprint 2; any
Sega Turbo; any
Stunt Cycle; any

I don't think I will get around to tracing them for awhile (I have a few things in progress right now), but I can post them for others to trace. Eventually, I will get around to tracing anything that I have available to me.

ALSO, if anyone has a good ms. pac man shots, I'd like to get that traced ASAP.

I scanned in the coleco ms.pacman--is that any good--its the same art just drastically reduced

As far as being post relevant--get lots of pics of that star wars cockpit--just because its neat

RetroJames · « **Reply #11 on:** April 07, 2004, 12:11:38 am »

Road Blasters (Upright).

Star Wars cockpit.

Thanks!

mahuti · « **Reply #12 on:** April 07, 2004, 12:20:28 am »

I just got some stargate marquee action from Oscar. Cool.

Jakobud · « **Reply #13 on:** April 07, 2004, 01:28:46 am »

Now that you finally have a digital camera it sure would be nice to get ahold of some cabinet dimensions from a few of the cabinets in your collection...... I am particularly interested in:

Kangaroo (quickly before its gone!)
Road Blasters
Stunt Cycle (maybe)

email me if you are interested in contributing.

paigeoliver · « **Reply #14 on:** April 07, 2004, 10:16:17 am »

Ok, I have started taking some really high res photos.

I already have all the sideart and other artwork photographed super high res (multiple 2048xsomething shots) for Kangaroo, Star Wars cockpit, and Stunt Cycle.

I have the Road Blasters marquee and overlay photographed at the same quality. Mine doesn't have sideart (just Atari System I sideart, repro is available), and System I games don't have bezel artwork.

I will be posting some lower res shots here, but I need to know where to upload the high res shots for those who want to vectorize or otherwise copy the artwork.

SirPeale · « **Reply #15 on:** April 07, 2004, 10:35:15 am »

So what camera did you finally end up getting?

paigeoliver · « **Reply #16 on:** April 07, 2004, 10:38:32 am »

An Olympus. It was $150, I don't recall the model.

mahuti · « **Reply #17 on:** April 07, 2004, 10:41:14 am »

I will IM you some FTP information later today.

Also, since the Kangaroo is going to be gone soon (sold, paid for, buyer is supposed to pick up next month), I will go ahead and photograph and measure it so that the plans can be made.

I will eventually do the same for all the rest of my cabinets, except for the Star Wars cockpit. I could take the BASIC measurements of that one, but full plans would require me to take the thing apart again, and I am not doing that.

Whatever happened with these?

paigeoliver · « **Reply #31 on:** April 12, 2004, 04:01:44 pm »

Instruction cards and everything else are still waiting for someone to send me ftp or other upload information. These pics are 500K each, not exactly something I can post on the board.

I guess you can upload your files to the vector library

paigeoliver · « **Reply #35 on:** April 12, 2004, 06:06:38 pm »

My image sizes are too large for the vector library. My photos are 2000 something wide.

Never mind, I see I can upload zips, so I will zip them in sets and upload them that way.

hyiu · « **Reply #36 on:** April 12, 2004, 09:43:15 pm »

I'm no web expert... but if you just want a place to store for others to download...

you can open a couple of free accounts in geocities.com.... you'll get like 20M of free space for each account....

but you can only upload certain formats... like jpg, zip... etc.

So, you can zip it up and upload for others to download...

yes... geocities has bandwidth restrictions... which means people will need to take turns to download... or spread it out to download... but at least its there and downloadable and you don't need to beg for other's help....

like me... I have 2 accounts there.... heee hee...
(but I'm not a very web person....) its mainly for me to transfer files back and forth and so on.... (low volume...)

but it works for me... and I would call it a free alternative...

hope it helps....

paigeoliver · « **Reply #37 on:** April 14, 2004, 10:43:07 pm »

Well, I had begun uploading my zips to the vector library when all of a sudden they stopped accepting zip files.

mahuti · « **Reply #38 on:** April 15, 2004, 12:06:49 am »

Must have been a minor hiccup.

I was creating a new category... perhaps that caused an issue.

One thing to note... unregged users work has to be validated (by me & zorg) in some instances before it gets posted. I don't know that was the case here.

There were at least 3 different images that I validated tonight.

If you continue having issues, contact me directly and I will make sure your issue is corrected.

paigeoliver · « **Reply #39 on:** April 15, 2004, 03:58:18 pm »

Ok, I will try to upload more next time I get to work.
