Recently had a request for some Guilty Gear XX marquees. As popular as the game is, it was very difficult sourcing art for it. As far as I understand, many of the different versions that came out, were released in Japan for candy cabs, which did not have marquee art. We took the liberty of producing some customs for people to use if they can’t find originals (which might not even exist, correct me if I’m wrong). Check em out in our store HERE.
We recently had a customer order quite a few marquees from us for a soffit project. Have to admit we really didn’t know what a soffit was until we looked it up. In any case, this is probably one of the coolest projects we’ve seen here at ArcadeMarquee Dot Com, thanks to Mike for the pics and description of the project:
“I had a very difficult time deciding how to represent the games that were important to me. So, rather than buy one or two arcade machines, we purchased a pedestal multicade and built a soffit that covers about half of the room. The soffit is backlit with led rope and has 13 marquees (5 on the west wall and 8 on the north wall) mounted inside it. I couldn’t be happier with the results and the supplemental lighting is nice for playing the arcade games as well.”

Definitely one of the best shoot em ups of all time. All of the Raiden games combined satisfying controls and power ups with a high level of difficulty and challenging bosses. Super fun to play, and still super affordable. For now that is…

AvP was one of our favorite games growing up. Slightly more advanced with move combinations than the rest of the side scroller beat em ups such as Simpsons and X-Men. Not to mention the Big Blue arcades at 7-Eleven were beautiful in an intimidating sort of way. This particular game in the Northwest is still affordable. Last couple ones have sold for around $600 on Craigslist. Wouldn’t be surprised if they jumped up in price though.

We always like seeing some nice Neo Geo arcade marquees, and recently Chris from Mobius Strip Technologies was kind enough to send us some of our marquees mounted and looking great! Apparently Chris’s first arcade was a Neo Geo, which is awesome because it was our first too. Hard to beat the selection and variety you can get from the MVS system, and the feel of having one of those fatty carts in your hand. Thanks again Chris!
We FINALLY found a good scan of Soul Calibur 3. Check it out in our store HERE.
X-Men vs Street Fighter Arcade marquee. One of the better fighting titles to come out of the CPS2 system. Still sells for a reasonable price too, usually around $150 on eBay. Reasonable considering a Hyper Fighting or Championship will run $250+. Check out the marquee in our store HERE.
Used to love playing this game as a kid. The 3D fighting platform and cool moves were just a little bit better than most of the other side scrollers out there. Not to mention the awesome weapons you could pick up and use. I seem to remember some timing based actions that had to be performed along the way too. The most annoying part of this particular game was the fact you were saving the president’s daughter once again. I don’t know how many times I’ve had to save a president’s daughter in video games, but I’m getting pretty tired of it. Just once, I’d like to save super model or sumthin…. Miss Universe…. I dunno. Lastly, we used to joke that the arcade cabinet resembled a trash can. It wasn’t until later on I heard that a company that designs trash cans ACTUALLY designed it. Not sure if that’s true, but I don’t doubt it. In my experience, the arcade sells in the Northwest for around $300-$500.

Don’t really see Dr. Mario arcades around very much. I used to own 2 of them, but sold them due to lack of interest of people playing them. I do regret the decision though, haven’t seen one in the Northwest since. Might have to convert a Nintendo cabinet back over. Check out the marquee HERE, and a play through below (although I believe from NES). If anyone is able to get through the 1 hour and 22 minutes of footage, I will give you 10,000 internet points:
Recently got a really good scan of In the Hunt, one of the marquees we had missing from our collection. For some reason, this particular PCB is highly sought after and goes for over $200 on eBay. The game play is pretty awesome, very reminiscent of a submarine version of Metal Slug. Check out the marquee in our store HERE, and a play through of the game below:
