Title: Missle Command Marquee
Post by: froggerman on March 17, 2004, 08:01:29 pm

I see that the Missle Command side artwork is available in the Arcade Art Library. Has anyone ever done the marquee? Or does anyone have a good picture of the marquee?

I did that sideart in the library.  I have a picture of the marquee but its not high enough resolution.  I could do most of it... but the detail ont he rockets and the exploding rocket is just not good enough for me to do a good job with that part of it.

I am trying the same thing. The photo I have is very poor but I have the basics done. I am going to start on the rockets next week. There is no way that they will be as detailed as the ones you did on the side art.

The "theme" I have for my cab is based around the movie "WarGames" and I think starting with a Missle Command marquee might make sense.  

I have ZERO artistic talent, so I need to be able to cut-n-paste this together or get the assistance of someone with some talent.  The name I am thinking about is "WOPR 2.0".  For fans of the movie, it will make sense.

Have purchased a vintage Missile Command marquee off ebay, great shape.  Have access to a high end ovs scanner at work (i'm one of the evil Fed-Ex Kinko's types) and hope to have a quality scan for tracing available for upload soon.

I don't think Kinko's employees are evil.

The company culture on the other hand... ;D

If you find a good Kinko's with good employees, you can get some really great stuff...

Anyway, I digress, it's great to hear that you can contribute!
