Soul Calibur Arcade Marquee
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.
Die Hard Arcade Marquee
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.

Vs Dr. Mario Arcade Marquee
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:
Millipede Arcade Marquee
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.
Berzerk Arcade Marquee
One of the few classics that I have never seen or played. Finally looked it up on YouTube to see what the gameplay was like, and it looks simple but fun. It almost looks to be an early version of Smash TV. Check out the marquee in our store HERE, and a play through below:
In the Hunt Arcade Marquee
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:
Crystal Castles Arcade Marquee
Probably in our top 5 of most elaborate and beautifully designed arcade cabinets. The full wrap art on this guy was amazing. Everything from the cpo to the red roller ball looked great. Check out the marquee in our store HERE.

Bubble Bobble Arcade Marquee
Took a while but we finally found a high res version of the Bubble Bobble marquee. Great game, especially for routing. The different variations for the ending make for repeat customers and the cuteness of the characters and sprites makes for a good date game. Check out the marquee HERE.
Cruis’n World Arcade Marquee
One of our favorite games growing up. This game had everything from cool cars, secrets, engaging gameplay, and hot chicks at the end. Spent a lot of money on this one. Marquee featuring cool kangaroos, space ships, and what looks like the back ground from Tetris.
