Arcade Lifestyle / Printing Business Idea

« on: February 24, 2009, 12:31:57 AM »

Hi all,

I am in negotiations with a current arcade artwork supplier to provide my artwork (to get it out there and on good quality material and non ink-jet)
What I’d like to know is, would you guys be interested in a ‘site’ discount (will provide discount codes)

There is nothing in it for me (even me supplying the artwork, all I want is free printing/shipping of what I want)
I just want to help people wanting to get hard to find artwork out there.

What do you guys think ? I have over 1000 files of some RARE artwork and from other that said I can use it.

Also, in the meantime I am trying to setup a printing business here in Oz and then try and setup in the US and UK.

People that supply scans/artwork to scan or files will get FREE copies of the prints (say 2 or 3 sets)

What do you think of that ? I’ve just had some samples printed here and will post them up on the weekend (you should see my Peter PackRat CPO and Marquee WooHoo)

Thoughts ??

Arcade Lifestyle / Atari Championship Sprint - To Buy or NOT to buy ????

« on: February 23, 2009, 09:46:04 PM »

Ok,

I can get a Championship Sprint cab CHEAP (said to be NOT working) has the boards, monitor and almost complete (no Marquee)

Now I can get ALL the parts needed for this and would cost me LESS than $300 (aus$) all up for a working Championship Sprint.

Thoughts

?

I used to have a Super Sprint and LOVED it, never really played this one. Worth it ??

Arcade Lifestyle / Marquee's and/or CPO's for wall art ??

« on: February 10, 2009, 01:59:36 AM »

Hi all,

As most of you know I repro artwork for fun and to give back to you guys

Now that I have my game(s) room I thought about printing and framing (or just printing) some art to put on the walls.
I have a Epson A3+ printer and prints from a roll so I can print quite wide and on thicker paper.

I'm going to be printing some marquees this weekend and see how it looks. Anyone else done this ?

I am all psyched about getting the room happening ASAP

Arcade Lifestyle / New Project: Discs of Tron Environmental

« on: January 20, 2009, 12:58:17 AM »

Hi all,

I am after some cabinet plans for a Discs of Tron Environmental, as I want to build my own cab as they are just to hard to find (or the price is crazy)

I have almost all of the artwork and I'd like to change some of the design (make it two parts and so on)

Does anyone here own one ?
