Neo Geo side art?

[Loki]

Those old arcade games are nice, and there are some really awesome cabinets with full side art around.
But being a Neo Geo junkie, I'd love to see some full side art from King of Fighters, Samurai Showdown or some other cool fighter for my future project.
Only problem is I've never seen any... the only SNK cabs I found on the net are just ugly black and red boxes

Does anyone know if there are any of those cabs with some nice artwork? And if possible some place to download or print it?

My hopes are pretty low, but I thought I'd just ask... who knows

To my knowledge, there isn't any side art except for the generic neo-geo one shown here:

I would have thought that the games that came with full-size marquees might have included some, but it doesn't seem like SNK bothered to even include the generic side-art.

The only game I know of that had full-cabinet artwork was the American Samurai Shodown II cab seen here:

It's kind of a shame, since some of the artwork was really nice. If you want to MAKE your own sideart, you could probably scan in the cover to one of the home ports and enlarge it.

If there's a particular game/character you were looking for, I might have some decent artwork in an SNK Illustrations book I have. It's the SNK Illustrations Gamest Mook. As long as I can find my book, I wouldn't mind scanning some of it.

All of the ones I've seen had generic side coverage... black or woodgrain vinyl.

Thanks Crowquill!
I'm not a big fan of the large sized marquee, but that's a pretty nice cab
But yeah, I'd love to have some full side art with some SNK fighters characters. 2 different, one on each side would be awesome!
I'm not in a hurry or anything and still planning stuff... I can't seem to make up my mind and designs are changing cuz I come up with new stuff all the time ^^;

When I make up my mind I'd love to have some nice artwork

I just found this flyer on hardMVS

Nice one

Ha, I remember seeing an ad like that in a Gamepro mag years ago.

Great stuff.

I've seen some fighter artwork on the sides of Neo Geo cabs here in the Netherlands, looking good enough to be authentic (but who knows, it could have been the operator instead of the manufacturer). I can't recall which game it was, but I do remember it was a fighting game.
