Will all entries be viewable after the contest is over?

Will ArcadeGrafix sell the winning motivational posters for a limited time possibly?

The entries will start being posted next week and they will most likely remain up after that. As far as sales go, that would be up to the folks that created the individual posters and whatever they would like to do with their creations.

Tremendous idea. Sure you guys could sell some of these, too.

This is my humble entry, already sent to retoblast. For me it sums up the feelings of all players as you "insert coin"

Just in case you haven't seen it...DE-motivational posters.

It's tied with engrish.com as my favorite funny website.

This is fun. My Entry...

The orginal text was "Because the only woman that ever really loved you was 12 pixels tall", but I thought that was a little mean
