Had a request for a Bomberman arcade marquee, but unfortunately no such marquee was ever produced (to our knowledge). We came up with the following marquee to fill the void. Thanks to Brian for the push, and we are looking forward to how it looks in your game! Check out the marquee in our store HERE.
This is a pretty interesting one…. Ninja Baseball Bat Man, only a couple of these arcades made it out, right as the arcade industry was starting to tank. We were fortunate enough to get an original scan from Quarterworld in Portland. They have one of the few actual games that exist, and furthermore, one of the few that the public can go and play. Check out the marquee in our store HERE, and an emulation play through below:
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 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.
Loved this game as a kid. Turns out the arcade is waaaay more difficult. Always liked the way the cabinet looked, and as of late, they’re getting harder and harder to find. At recent Captain’s Auctions in California, dedicated Punchout cabinets were going for as much as $1200. Check out the marquee in our store HERE.
For one reason or another, Soul Calibur Marquees have proven particularly hard to get good scans of. We were only able to source one after looking for months! Check it out 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.

Millipede is pretty high up there on most beautiful cabinets of all time. The speaker grill, rounded marquee holder, side art, kick panel, and CPO all came together beautifully. Was never a huge fan of the gameplay, but when the game room plans finally come together, this would have to be pretty high on my list, just based purely on the aesthetics it brings. Check it out in our store HERE, and below for a play though.
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:
