I just applied 14-year-old TOG side art.

I bought some new Spy Hunter side art from This Old Game in January, 2010. Stuck it behind a door and thought, "I'll get around to this some day." Well, that day was yesterday, more than fourteen years later. Why now? I don't know, sometimes things are just that way. Installation was no problem, EXCEPT removing the application mask. As we say in Kansas, it was stuck on "real good."

Nice machine ole son I recently put a new old stock CPO on my Centipede. It lasted a a week before the laminate began to separate...Bummer! I'm only buying new stuff from now on.

Nice Spy Hunter, and cool about the side art.

But this post is really about Zaxxon, isn't it?

Always lurking in the shadows, the greatest game of all time...

I bought some new Spy Hunter side art from This Old Game in January, 2010...and I finally got it last night!

Fixed that for you...

Whoo boy. As we all get older, way too close to the truth.

Damn, took 14 years to get it. Gotta be a record.

Goes to show the quality of the art from This Old Game. Pieces lasted 14 years and stuck on the game no problem. Sweet.

How much is too much?

a little water mist on the masking will make removing much easier

I still have a full D2K art kit. That's got to be pushing 14 years by now.

And I was worried about my 6-month old Pole Position 2 side art…

Ahhh, thank you for that. I was really fighting it!

NOS! Glad it worked out, I played Spy Hunter every day on lunch in ninth grade at a roller rink across the street from my high school where we had open campus, I got either the fried burrito or the personal pan pizza, ate as fast as I could and played games until it was time to go back to class. I have never owned a SH but I did help move one once, and once was enough, that's a heavy sucker!

I have a silkscreened front Burgertime decal from 15+ years ago. I'm also worried about the masking. How did you loosen it up?

My wife helped me lay it down and stand it back up (twice). She said, "This is what I've been training for!"

I didn't, and it was a big pain. Had to pull HARD, and it tore often. TOG replied above and said to mist some water on it to help with removal.

Also, the best time to install that side art was 15 years ago, but the second best time is now
