Before I peel the "art" off the side of my cab. Anybody want me to photograph it
« on: January 26, 2005, 09:08:51 pm »
There are some people who seem to have an interest in preserving original games/cabs/artwork/logos etc.  so before i tear the stickers off the sides of my cab, I thought I'd offer to take some pics for the history books....

What is my cab, you ask?   It's "The Main Event"  A fantastically obnoxious wrestling cab with some great looking men-in-spandex on the side.   I can't imagine why anybody would be interested, but I thought I'd ask :)

None of the images on KLOV's "The Main Event" or "Main Event" pages are loading for me.

Are there already pics on the site for this game?
How big should I make the file?  I've got a 5MP camera and could even stitch together a series of images of the side art if bigger-is-better.

How about posting it here instead:

KLOV seems more interested in tiny, bad quality, badly cropped images  :P

Klov seems interested in not letting you submit contributions.  I've still been waiting to find a way to contribute my ddragn2u manual and rom upgrade sheet.

Alright, I'll put it up on arcadeart.   I tried piecing together a bunch of hi-res pics and it was a miserable (and unsuccessful) experience. So what I've got is a single hi-res (1941x2592) photo of the side "art" (a big sticker of wrestlers)

I also have a 2196x1320 pic of the "The Main Event" logo which is a sticker that is on the side as well, but stuck above the wrestler sticker.

So, is this "non-vector art" (yes, it is, but does it go in that category?) or does it go under "Unclean"?  (It is "unclean", the art has some scratches in it, etc)

I must be lucky then.  It's my Space Attack marquee on there.
