Title: TEMPEST Sideart/CPO artwork needed.
Post by: Mr. Bubblehead on July 27, 2005, 02:39:01 am

I've searched, and I'm having a difficult time locating sideart and CP artwork for Tempest.  I'm working on a cabinet, and I really am not looking forward to recreating the graphics from a crappy, low-res JPEG internet photo taken at an awkward angle with a $29 digital camera.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Bubs

www.ArcadeShop.com has the CPO, not sure who makes the side art, but I know it was on the market a while back.

Best,

I am really in need of a high resolution image of the artwork, as I will still need to resize/reshape it to fit my cabinet.  The cabinet I am building is not exactly the same as the original, I am just going with a Tempest theme.

http://www.classicarcadegrafix.com has the sideart for 160, but I've heard the quality isn't always the greatest.

http://www.classicarcadegrafix.com has the sideart for 160, but I've heard the quality isn't always the greatest.  It looks like you're going the custom route, though.  Here's some pics that can give you a basic starting point for proportions at least.  If you need close-ups taken straight on with a 4 mega-pixel camera,  I've got several Tempest CPO pics for ya.
This high-res image may also help you in planning:

Thanks.  Yes, I will be doing custom graphics, as my cabinet is not exactly the same proportions as the original.  I got the marquee done already, it looks very similar to the one from localarcade.com.  I have begun working on a CPO in photoshop, the sideart is really hard to find though.  I may just have to take a road trip and find a real machine and take some photos...
