I'm awaiting a Pac-Mania cabinet that I want to convert to Galaga 88. Currently I'm doing the arts. Could somebody tell me the measurements of the marquee and the sidearts? :)
-
Impact. :)

I may have an original Galaga 88 marquee for sale... just in case ;)
-
Wow, I'd take it off your hands! :)
Btw: The sidearts are ready by now. Is there a server or a site to make it available for everyone?

Thanks, I sent him an email. Don't know how long it takes him to put it on his site, so here it is from my server:

Awesome, such a lovely game - graphics and sounds are so cool; my kids (2 and 5) are hooked to it too!
-
It is also one of my all time fav games. :)
-
Nice job you did here
I've only played this in MAME so far, but it seems to be a cool game.
-
Nice, what did you use as a finish?
-
It's standard car foil like this:

Today the sidearts arrived! :)
-
Hi,
did you put the car wrap straight over the wood or did you paint it 1st?
I have a Paperboy System 2 cab I might want to restore using wrap
-
Straight over the wood. :)

galaga 88 probably has the WORST artwork ever created - even I could have designed that logo ...
-
I don't think so.

i LOVE the general G88-artwork. the only problem is that they did not put it on the cabs.

The desaturated version of the logo is much more appropriate, they should have chosen this. But then it's a game of the end-80ies, Bon Jovi, U2, Madonna, Michael Jackson, perestroika, people and times slowly cheered up and also the graphic design tended to be more colourful. :)
-
Done! :)
-
Uh.....are the side "arts" supposed to be on those different angles ?
-
Yeah, I noticed too, but too late. Maybe I can still fix it using a heater. :)
-
O lordy....I hope so !

i don´t think it will work. i would re-print them if this bothers you (would be okay with me). but i noticed that the sidearts on your machine seem quite a bit smaller than the original ones?!
-
They are? Could you measure them if you have the time?
