Street Fighter Alpha Zero 2 Arcade Marquee

We’re always surprised by how many different variations there are for Street Fighter. It seems as if right when we’re on the cusp of collecting all the art for the marquees, another request comes in for Alpha Beta Zero Plus Four Gamma Zeda. We were more than happy to help one of our clients create the art for SF Alpha Zero 2, and feel like it came out pretty well! Check it out in our store HERE.

Space Zap Lightbox by Richard!

Someone finally did it! A mini lightbox for the mini marquees we send out. Richard has done quite a few light boxes with the marquees we produce, and they always look cherry! Only this time, he went above and beyond and created the cutest little light box in the history of light boxes! Thanks again for the photos Richard!

Richard’s Centipede Light Box

Super excited to share this one with everyone. Richard put together one of the cleanest light boxes we have seen thus far. The candy apple green is fantastic, and from the looks of it, an LED strip with remote allows for easy on/off action. Add a little whisky into the mix, and you’ve got yourself a good time. Our shop prefers Basil Hayden personally, but in any case, cheers to Richard’s good work!

Keith’s Amazing 6 Slot Neo Geo

It’s pretty rare to see a 6 slot in good condition. Most of the time they’ve been beat up and in Keith’s case, it was no different. From powder coating the control panel, to replacing the LED displays, it seems he’s done an amazing job bringing this guy back from the dead. Also gotta love the nice and tidy shock box colletion. Check his story below:

First name or gamer tag: Keith
Years collecting: 1
Rarest game: I don’t think I have any truly rare games yet, but Waku Waku 7 was the toughest pick up so far.
Favorite game: Metal Slug 3
Anything about the Neo Geo world: I’ve wanted a Neo Geo system since I saw the ads for the AES in GamePro and the MVS machines in the arcades in the 90’s.  Last year I decided it was time and began to look for a 1-slot board to consolize.  It seemed like the smart, lowest barrier to entry.  During my search, a big red 6-slot cab just happened to show up on Craigslist and I couldn’t resist.  Of course, I had no idea what I was doing with an arcade cabinet…

It had a wonky monitor and only one cartridge slot was working when I got it.  There were missing parts and a really sticky control panel overlay sticker.  It took me a couple months to find all the parts and get everything working again, but I enjoyed every minute.  Now I have a fully functional and partially restored 6-slot in my living room.
The kids love it, especially my three year old.  Even though he is too young to really play, he still likes to get on a pedestal next to me while I play and try his hardest.  It’s pretty adorable when he asks to play Metal Slug with me.
I am grateful to people in the community like Tim.  His excellent mini marquee reproductions really look great lit up and I love having them actually match the games in play.

Terminator 2 Light Box

We always like seeing alternative uses to the marquees. This one comes in from Johnny D. A very creative use for displaying some badass Terminator 2 memorabilia. From the looks of it, a color changing LED and some classic VHS and DVD cases. Thanks for the pics Johnny.
