I guess it could be traced.

or you can go the easy way. scan at hte Higher resolution you can your CPO, touch the scan to perform the correction
and send it to a good printer.  and voila.

oh and don't forgot to pass the scan, in order for us to trace it....;)
I'm on the planning stage

It says Willis Ind. Inc. 1981 on the lower right side.
I think they must of done some of Atari's artwork.
I haven't seen another one like it lately but my friends seem to remember it as being the normal Centipede CP.

As soon as its scanned it will be here for everyone. ;D

Willis made lots and lots of "alternate" overlays for a variety of popular games. They have no affiliation with Atari or anyone else. They just made the overlays and sold them to operators who needed new CPOs but didn't want to pay the original manufacturer's higher prices for the correct originals. (That and sometimes the original manufacturers just plain stopped making them).

Oh and another market for Willis was for operators running bootleg games, but needing some art...


NO MORE!!
