Or which manufacturer do you think did the most with that real estate? It shocks me that so many kickplates are left bare, when that's the only part of the cabinet you can typically see when arcade cabs are in their natural formations, long rows. My favorite that I can think of? Galaxian:

The older the games, the better the arts it seems. Back then, they knew the graphics were, uh..."not lifelike", so it seems they had to compensate for this by making the cab come alive with arts.

Alot of cool arts were thrown on the sides more than the fronts, but I think Galaxian, Omega Race, and Space Invaders had some awesome kickplates.

There are a couple really rad looking Nichibustu games out there that look incredible, despite the less-than-perfect gameplay:

Moon Raker
Rolling Crash
and Moon Base

Anyone one of those games would look freaking awesome in an arcade.
 
I don't have many games with kick plate art, but I'll throw out my vote for another Bally Midway: Mappy. I like the way they have Mappy and Goro peeking out from behind the coin door.
 
Tuff one. Maybe Crystal Castles, Millipede, or Cloak & Dagger.

On a related note, there was some ejipshon-crazed dude who made Lost Tomb kickplate art. Gay

Holy shit, that's right. New 3rd favorite (After Death Race and Galaxian):

No contest.

It has to be Magical Spot, from Universal!

Nice. Dude posts some fine ass titties and you say you like a silly fucking smirk better. This is what's wrong with today's youth. They're all gay.

The endless amount of porn on the internet has ruined these young punks. BITD, we had to watch scrambled channels for 45 minutes just to catch a glimpse of a boob...
