Last night a Defender popped up on CL within 10 minutes of my house. I initially passed it by as the price was more than I wanted to pay. In the background however was something very intriguing. I called the gentleman, he was interested in selling it so I went and picked it up this afternoon.
Three of these showed up before:

Guess this one escaped and is now in my hands.
Measures 4x2 feet and isn't faded like most other Ms.'s!

I saw the ad, saw the stained glass behind the game, and didn't realize what I was looking at. I thought it was a blurry poster or something. Very cool grab.
 
Picture doesn't work! What is it?!

I'm seeing it from my PC, is it Tapatalk? In any case it's a custom Ms. Pac Man stained glass. These were apparently in an arcade somewhere in the Denver/Boulder area back in the day. The other three were being sold in Boulder. The gentleman I purchased it from had picked it up at an estate sale with the Defender. I got the Defender as well. :)

Anybody know where it was at back then? I am asking as I went to every arcade I knew about in the Denver/Boulder are back in the mid 80's don't every remember seeing anything like that.
 
All those ones on ebay were from California, so maybe they didn't come from a Denver arcade after all.

I found these with a google search, all in the same style, so it may just be somebody who likes to make them.

Ahh right, I was thinking of the Space Duel and Kangaroo ones that were local and posted here:

The Dig Dug one is at Ground Kontrol apparently. I'm really curious where they all came from. Seems like no 2 are the same games and they're all of golden age games.
 
pretty damn impressive!

Kudos to the artist. :)
 
Some were once on ebay, I thought I remembered the guy on ebay saying that he made them (and the price was really, really high) ... so I was under the impression that these were made by an artist just a few years ago for the purpose of selling on ebay.
 
Yeah those were on eBay 4 years ago. I think they were $4 or $500 each, maybe more. Four in total, maybe. Super cool, nice haul.
