So I had been waiting to do a writeup about my Gunsmoke restoration to hopefully make it into an issue of Gameroom Magazine, buuuut since that's not happening, I went ahead and wrote a blog about it on my site:

Here's a pic for the lazy:

My question to you is this - what other custom side art would you like to see? I mention at the end of my article that I think 1942 deserves the custom treatment. Can you think of a game that you'd rather see a cool custom-stenciled cab instead of a cheesy sideart sticker? I'd like to make a couple more and see if Prok wants to carry those as well.

If you've already made custom side art for one of your own games, post a pic of it here.

That side art absolutely owns!!! The Arkanoid cpo however.....does not.

When I can find a suitable image to use for it.....or if I can ever get Photoshop so I'll be able to vectorize the image I want,I plan on making custom Mega Man side art.

As far as custom side art for other games,a few games that come to mind that could use some or could have the original improved on are.

Marvel vs Capcom
Darkstalkers
Life Force
Elevator Action
Jungle King
Double Dragon
Gyruss
Contra (the nes box art would look way cooler)
Playchoice-10
Punch-Out
Super Punch-Out

I second the Gyruss. I'd like to see some Darkstalkers side art too, but probably would prefer some custom vinyl stuff with heavy coloring and details.

Gorf! The small side art is out of place with the rest of the great art package.

Maybe Qix.... That could kick ass and elevate it above the generic Taito stencil. Too bad there isn't a full art package for Qix.

I think the existing Gyruss art kicks ass.... Are you just wanting a stencil made for it or do you really think it needs custom art?

Gyruss has very vivid sideart, no doubt about it. But I would love to see someone do some custom stencil sideart for it that had actual spaceships and planets and stuff. Kind of like Defender meets Galaxian. I bet it would like awesome.

Hey, that CPO was what came with all capcom kit games and therefore makes it "dedicated". I know it is not the best, but with all those stickers on there anyway, how much of it do you actually see? I agree with you, but still added it to make it dedicated.

I like some of the options I've heard on here. I can definitely see Shinobi getting some cool sideart stencil treatment.
 
I always thought Empire Strikes Back could've used it's own sideart! Instead of that lame little Empire decal....
 
Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike needs some good side art. And so does the Nintendo Super System cab!

Oh, and Black Tiger and Strider need better side art. The original side art on those is weak!

I like how this stuff looks, but I wouldn't want to drop the nearly $400 for it...
