no its not

Thanks for the link for everyone, though. BTW, I'm not even sure the F-22 picture is public domain.

There blatently not legal. I dont see anyway how they can be.
The artwork was designed by Peale who uploaded it to the Arcade Art Library (http://localarcade.com/arcade_art/).
I know Peale doesnt mind people using the graphics on your own cab (I loved it so much I desgined my whole colour scheme round it for my cab). I should imagine he would'nt appriciate it being used for commercial gain, unless they have his permission of course.

that exploding art in this thread was made by ROM, not peale
-
Ahh i see, I think that Peale must have made it into a Marquee then.

That's probably the case. ROM's original pic was just the exploding backgroudn with no text. I only remember because I followed the thread closesly and LOVE the pic heh.

hmm, doesnt anyone else find this fishy?
Single player console designed using a TOKN KB16 Encoder. Features: 4/8 way joystick, 6 action buttons, coin button, 1 & 2 player buttons, & the 2 side buttons for escape and select game. Fully fuctional from MAME menu thru game play. Easy button reprogram options. Hot swappable ps/2 connection. Heavy duty 1/2" construction!
Why a TOKN? Sound kinda odd to me. I've heard that business that dont do well will open a new business to make up. Besides, this guy has no right to use that artwork! (a=He is using someone else design, b=pacman etc. are trademarked, im sure he didnt get permission to use them!)
