Is bad Crazy Kong art worth documenting?
Jakobud:
The best thing you can do to document it, is to take the actual overlay off the panel and scan it into the computer with a high res scanner. Even in pieces if you have to.
Other than that, take SEVERAL high res photo's of the overlay with the camera lens directly perpendicular to it. Like perhaps taking 5 or 6 pictures of it from left to right.
Also when taking the pictures, its ALWAYS better to ZOOM in, instead of just moving the camera closer. Cause then you avoid any fish-eye effects.
The point of all these high res pictures are so that someone can vectorize the art... :)

Good point! And here is where the vectorized art goes!
Stingray:
Any arcade artwork that hasn't already been vectorized is worth scanning.
I'd actually very much like to have a cheesy Crazy Kong cab.

Crowquill:
Maybe I'll just scan and vectorize it myself. It's not like it'll take that long anyway. Besides, it's probably easier since I can reference the original first hand.
I'm still not sure if it's worth the effort, but that's why I'm asking. It seems there are others interested.

The convenience store near my house had a Crazy Kong when I was just a kid, probably 81 or 82. I played it for months before I realized there was a Donkey Kong, "hey that's just like Crazy Kong with better graphics!"
I don't know if it's worth the effort, but it sure has fond memories for me.
