Title: Who owns these cabs? (picture request)
Post by: TheShanMan on June 28, 2008, 12:07:02 pm

There are some surprising holes (at least to me) in available game artwork (marquee, control panel, cabinet) for use in front ends (i.e. low res graphics, not graphics for cabinet builds/restorations). I'm thinking there must be some people here who own cabs of some of these games who could take pictures and contribute them to the community (perhaps submitting to mordor at PD for his extras pack?).

Of course I think it would be great if this happens for ANY missing artwork, but specifically from a selfish perspective I'm on the hunt for:

• 88 Games (CP)
• 1941 (CP)
• New Rally X (marquee, CP, cab)
• Red Earth (CP - I found a cab image which I've cleaned up - if anyone wants it let me know)
• Saint Dragon (CP and cab)
• Simpsons Bowling (marquee) - EDIT: I found a Simpsons Bowling in the wild recently and took a pic of the marquee. I need to get it cleaned up to put on my mame cab still, but again, if anyone wants it let me know
• Sprint 4 (marquee and cab)

Anyone else have specific artwork they're looking for?

Good luck! I've been hunting for:

• 2 on 2 Open Ice Challenge (cab mostly, but CP too)

Fruitless request have been made in 2005 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=47222.0), 2006 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=48155.0) and 2007 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=67373.0). :hissy:

Just to be clear, I'm not looking for reproduction style artwork (your links are requests for high res artwork for cab builds/restorations). I'm looking for simple pictures for display in a FE. I'll update my original post to be more clear.

Can't you get decent images from places like KLOV and pull them up to scratch using photoshop trickery?

If they had the images. I've looked in the places that seemed obvious to me, including maws, klov, and google images. These are the games that I struck out on (and probably the reason the "extras" pack doesn't have them).
