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!
Recently got a request for a Bishi Bashi arcade marque from Victoria. She was able to procure a scan of Super Bishi Bashi Champ, something that we have not been able to find in high resolution. From there it was a matter of color correction and cleaning in Photoshop. Looks great in the Sega Blast City, thanks for the photos Victoria!

One of our favorite arcades growing up was Virtual On. Out of all the games in the arcade, this one made you feel the most bad ass. Sitting in the cockpits with two joysticks and a bunch of buttons that did cool stuff, can’t get much better than that. Never played it on the port for a Blast City cabinet, but I’m sure it’s just as fun. Check out the marquee in our store HERE, and a playthrough below:
Been on a roll lately with the Blast City marquees. Our newest one is for Bishi Bashi. We didn’t even know that Bishi Bashi’s could be set up on a Blast City cab, but sure enough, those big buttons fit fine on a two player cabinet. Check it out in our store here, and peep below for an awesome, ultra strange video of Bishi Bashi game play.
We thought this one was pretty cool. One of our customers put together some generic Capcom images to get this marquee. Looks absolutely excellent when back lit. Good stuff Gerry!
We have been doing more and more candy cab Blast City marquees lately. It’s been fun to see all the crazy titles they released in Japan. Unfortunately a lot of them did not have marquee art so we have been doing what we can to get those up for our customers. This one is Death Smiles, a shmup featuring what looks like Goth Japanese girls in skirts floating around with big guns and shooting demons and other unworldly characters. Oh Japan, you so crazy. Check out the marquee in our store HERE.
