So I have decided to tackle the restoration on my Space Demon cabaret. The marquee on mine is missing, but Todd's still has one. Here's a pic:

I've already gotten the file traced and vectorized, but my question is this: what colors were used on the original marquee? Rich @ TOG seems to think that the drop shadow behind the letters was most likely red. What about the background? The letters?

Here's a scan of the original instruction card from Arcade Art Library:

Were these two pieces of artwork supposed to match each other?

Hi! Did you happen to see my Nintendo Cabaret Surprise thread? I think you did, as you tried to make funny jokes in it. Well anyway, it has a pic of a pretty much unfaded original Space Demon marquee. Maybe check there?

Nope! Totally missed it....CRAP! That's AWESOME!!

Get that over to Rich ASAP!

I've already had the original marquee traced and vectorized (by Pixelhugger over on the BYOAC forums) but I had no idea what colors to use. We need to match color!
 
Do you still want me to mail the original to you? Maybe you can put it next to my Shark Attack side art.

Maybe you will make that cabaret back into a space demon? That is if you can find a board and control panel. Good luck with that.

Too bad, because I have been playing it and it really is a fun game.
