Artwork / Re: Brent Leisure / European Dragons Lair II CPO / Side-Art
« Last post by K1ngarth3r on April 28, 2025, 09:56:43 PM »
I got the CPO recreated at Arcade Art Shop, you can get it here, however it's a bit dark at the top compared to the original.

I didn't bother with the side artwork though, mine was okay - I just scanned it to preserve it, but I'll be damned If I can find what I did with it now though.

As I?m currently working on restoring my arcade cabinet, I will certainly need to find a set of side arts... 8)
What did you ultimately use to restore your cabinet?
Did you start from your own scan? Did you buy a reproduction? I know this topic is a bit dated, but if you come across this, let me know.  ;)

Thanks for the picture  :) Yes, indeed, I had read several years ago on their Twitter feeds that they were using PCs to replace the video part (thus replacing the laser disc players).
You can actually see it quite clearly in the picture :arrow:



The ships, laser shots, as well as the score, are superimposed on the images produced by the PC(s).
Interesting to see that they used Windows XP as the operating system.  8)

I would have loved to have more information on this topic, but unfortunately, it is very difficult to get direct information  :-\.  One day, I hope I'll go to Japan to see their monster in action and ask all the questions I've since years! :spaceace:

I have found a tweet presumably from this arcade.

Interesting, they use Windows XP machines to run the LD emulator?

Nice one, I would LOVE to have at least a dragons lair - then I would run that minipc in it to play all the laser disc games....

Alright, I'm bringing the arcade cabinet back out for a closer inspection.
The artwork on this side has suffered, particularly at its base :



The other side is much more damaged :-[  :arrow:



...ouch...  :-\



Let's take a closer look at the two speakers



Looking at the state of the right speaker? it does make you wonder what could have caused such damage. It might have been insects, like termites or carpenter ants, which can chew through materials. Alternatively, it could have been caused by a rodent gnawing away at it... whatever, it is dead!  :arrow:



Under the back door, I can say that the cabinet is in good condition. I mean the structure is rather sturdy.  :arrow:



On the other hand, all the metal parts have suffered from rust.



With so many plays on the counter, I think the game has definitely been well-utilized. 8)



I?m removing the metal parts...10 pence arcade  coins  8) , evidence that it was indeed operated in England, where I went to retrieve it.  :pac: :ghost: :ghost: :ghost: :ghost:



...Other coins here and there. For my English friends here, what was the price of a DL2 game back in the day? 



Here are the rusted parts that I will be working on  :arrow:



Since the arcade cabinet is outside, I'm taking the opportunity to give it a deeper clean. The colors are now much brighter and vibrant.  :)



You'd almost forget about the damaged artwork!  ::)

Still looking for it.
Well, I didn't think it would be so difficult to find a Zaccaria marquee.  :-\

First of all, welcome to DLF/ALS board 'saturnjaguar'  :)

Thank you for sharing this news.   :spaceace:
Well, unfortunately, I won't be able to arrange a trip to Japan on such short notice, but I would love to meet one day all those groups of Japanese enthusiasts who keep the Galaxian3 spirit alive for the public.  :)
