I've got some of these hanging in my gameroom. I was too cheap to purchase the large prints though, I had to make due with printing the low-res samples on the website.

Those do look amazing.  And it sucks that some of us don't have room for game rooms!   :(

Centipede, Missile Command, Robotron, and Defender could all make good posters.  Theres still plenty of classics not covered yet.

Thanks for the ideas :)

I also changed the space invaders one just seeing the eyes slanted like that and the shape not of an actual invader annoyed me so i made it more authentic

Those are pretty cool.  When I get a game room someday I'll have to remember to get a few of these prints...

 :applaud:  I love them, but I do have some constructive comments.

I like the Dig Dug a bunch, but at first I thought it was Speed Racer.  The Space Invaders one looks too much like a movie poster and Donkey Kong looks like a carny side show ad.  Tron coulda been a little more obvious and a lot cooler.

Joust and Galaga rock and Pac Man is an instant classic!

I can't wait to see more....if there are more to come.

Yeah, sucks the Pac Man one isn't available right now.  I missed this thread but I saw this in my latest Game Room magazine.   I thought I was finally going to get to share something cool with the forum people hadn't seen before.  But alas, I'm late as always.

At any rate, I plan to purchase some of these soon.  Sucks they aren't a standard photo size though, so it will probably require a custom frame, which adds to the cost...

And luckily I just finished my basement so I have plenty of space to decorate!
