Title: Need some advice
Post by: zaktallica on February 17, 2010, 05:11:31 pm

SO im doing a vertical mame cabinet and its mostly gonna have vertical classics and shmups on it..The cab I got is just all white with no art..I can paint it etc but I want some art..Im really eyeing side art that looks cool but doesn't say the name of the game such as xevious, centipede, asteriods etc..Whats the best route to get this art? Should I buy it off some site? Can I get someone to give me the art work files and get it printed local? I need some advice..Thanks

Just to throw it out there, my cabinet is Space Duel.  I chose it for it's side art, which fits your goals too...no name, looks cool (cooler than Asteroids Deluxe IMO), etc.  It's also not as recognizable as Asteroids and Centipede and it's got a lot of colors.  Great, if you like more colored buttons on your CP too.   You might want to consider it.   :)

You got me confused....That question you are wanting, you need to ask your local printers...ask them can they print AI files and whatnot...
