Title: No more prited artwork from classic arcade grafix.

This sucks beyond belief. :angry: I have always bought artwork from them and they had a great collection. They also did a great job printing everything.

They will now sell you the files on DVD and you have to get them printed yourself. I've heard as much bad as good about this place, but they were offering something nobody else was doing.

Post by: BobA on November 21, 2006, 10:32:16 pm: Just follow the order links and you will see that if you order a marquee you get a DVD with the files on it and you have to go print it yourself.

Post by: AlanS17 on November 22, 2006, 12:15:58 am: So they're not even offering a service anymore. The only thing left is copyright infringement.

Post by: Fozzy The Bear on November 23, 2006, 08:33:48 pm: As far as anybody I've spoken to can tell, the only thing they do as a business is infringe on the original copyright holders rights here.

The quality of stuff I bought from them when they were printing was extremely poor. Low quality prints with colours that were way off.

They were also selling their entire graphics collection on multiple DVD's a while a ago at a ridiculously high price. I think it was somewhere in excess of $20,000 USD a set. That obviously didn't sell so now they're trying a different tactic.

There isn't much they sell as files now that isn't available from other sources free of charge.

Post by: leapinlew on November 23, 2006, 10:36:52 pm: My last control panel came from ClassicArcadeGraffix and I wasn't happy with it overall. It came poorly shipped and they took a couple weeks to send me another one - which was also poorly shipped. I was able to cut off the bad section though. I didn't order from there again.

Thirded, I'm really please with the quality of his prints, unlike CAG. I've done both.

Post by: rlemmon on November 25, 2006, 03:10:36 am: I like m.m's work to. I just wish they had a larger selection. The other thing is that I don't like the dull finish on there sideart. I preferred the glossy finish that c.a.g. used.

Post by: TOK on December 06, 2006, 02:20:21 pm: I was just going to order the Sky Soldiers marquee I needed on disc and have it printed locally, and it appears you can't even do that right now.

I looked at the MAME marquees site, but its all just stuff that says MAME on it. :P

Another plug for Scott / Mamemarquees.com. He has printed everything for all my projects and the finished product is top notch.
