Arcade art question

[MackAttack]

I am putting together an art presentation for work. What are examples of your favorite arcade related artwork?
I'll start… I've never played it but I love the artwork on SolarFox.

For starters: Scramble in the Spaceman cab, Any of the dedicated Universal games but particularly the ones with dedicated side art like Cosmic Monsters, Magical Spot, Cosmic Alien, Cosmic Guerilla. EDoT, Omega Race...

I'd go with the upright versions of Omega Race, Crystal Castles, Xevious, Swimmer and Scramble.

As @geech says, any of the Universal cabs is a good call too.

The prototype/early version Tempest artwork is also very intricate and colorful.

Swimmer and Spacian

The art on Omega Race is a masterpiece.

I also like almost any Atari sideart from the early 80's. Space Duel in particular.

Taito Space Invaders. In the dark.

I also agree with Scramble - the artwork on the upright was impressive on the marque and the monitor bezel.

I like the artwork on Tail Gunner 2 for the back marque. It really just is perfect for the game. The side artwork, not so much so.


You see the earth (I assume) and the thin blanket of atmosphere, and then the starfield. It's just unique and striking.

Otherwise, the side art on ANY Atari game - Space Duel, Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, Gravitar, Major Havoc. Epic.

And when Pat P saw this, he said "You can never sell this."

Ooooo!

No, Scramble was quite good.

Xenon pinball with multi-ball was innovative. With the voices, it was the best of the talkies at the time.

Space Duel, Tempest, Millipede. Atari art is second to none, IMO.
