We had a customer send us this marquee for printing. For those who do not know, typing of the dead was a variation on House of the Dead, where you type letters to kill zombies. The only one we have ever seen was in LA long ago. For any of you arcade nerds out there that want to build their own, we have the artwork ready for you!
Had a cool custom job for one of our customers. Check out the projects she has been working on in the video below:
We sold a couple batches of marquees a couple months ago to a Canadian fellow and was pleasantly surprised to see he came up with some amazing light boxes! Greg Lobb operates the website Mosquitoworkshop.com and has some awesome stuff to look at. Be sure to check out his work there, or @mosquitoworkshop on Instagram.

We’ve been looking for this one for a while, and oh boy what a pain in the butt to acquire. Super cool game though, Capcom just took the bosses from Mega Man and threw them onto a fighting style platform for arcade. Check out the marquee in our store HERE, and below for a crazy no damage play through:
This beauty comes compliments of one of our awesome customers by the name of Chuck. He recently restored a Gauntlet Dark Legacy arcade marquee with our dedicated size. Looks great, many thanks Chuck! Check it out in our store HERE, and watch a crazy play through below:
Ataxx is one of those games that we have never seen on route, but looks like an extremely fun game with high replay value. We mailed this out to Kelly, who put together what looks like an awesome arcade. Cheers, Kelly. Thanks for the pic! Check out below for a video of the game, and click HERE to purchase the marquee.
We came across a marquee that we had never seen recently. Had to look it up to figure out what was going on. Apparently Tournament Arkanoid was the successor to Arkanoid, but for some reason Romstar thought “tournament” might be an exciting was to say “two”. Check it out in our store HERE, and a video down below for a super cool cocktail version of the game.
Always like seeing pictures of the big blues. Dylan R. was restoring a Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition Capcom Big Blue cabinet and purchased our Big Blue and Plexi combo. Thanks for the photo Dylan! Check out the Big Blue and plexi combo in our store HERE.
For one reason or another, every 1945 marquee we’ve ever seen has either been cropped down a considerable amount, or printed on crappy paper and then laminated. We FINALLY found a good clean full sized marquee and very quickly scanned and cleaned it. One of the best shoot em ups of all time. Check it out in our store HERE, and peep below for a play through:
