I've a good chunk of covers and inlays over on http://www.arcadeartwork.org/
Some high resolution stuff and some not so high.

godammit, I know I'm going to spend ages going through the SNES covers just for nostalgia sake

Thanks for the links guys. I went with this one in the end -

http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=5707

It's for a copy of Legend of Zelda for the Gamecube that doesn't have the original box. Do you think printing off the picture (once it's downloaded and in better res - 3256 x 2156) will be ok for the box or do I need to blow it up more or minimize it?

Ha yeah, I get cought up in the covers myself sometimes.
I click the "Random photos" button if I'm looking to play a game on a system and just want a random listing.

It's the Collector's disc, with Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and the two NES titles.

I saw it 5 times <3

Yeah it's great. My only gripe is how

non-game related it gets during the second half when they go into Sugar Rush. It becomes more of a film about sweets!

That didn't bother me at all, having Shut Up And Drive being played was worse

o1s1n · 09-02-2013 01:35AM

It was still fun as a film, but it ceased to be a game film for a while!

All the character/sprite/low res references were brilliant though. First time I've sat through end credits in a while

CiDeRmAn · 09-02-2013 08:10AM

I must confess, Jane Lynch's Sgt Calhoun was not unattractive....
And I reckon Felix probably should get out of the closet!
Qbert FTW!

DinoRex · 09-02-2013 12:20PM

When I was at it last night none of the kids in the audience knew any of the games, but they'd shout out when they saw a snack or sweet they recognised!

Steve X2 · 09-02-2013 01:58PM

At last a cure for H.I.P.S.T.E.R

DinoRex · 09-02-2013 03:18PM

Used parcel motel for the first time last night. Why did no one tell me it's a freakin' robot!?!

I thought I was going to have to just go see some dude in a petrol station.

Its a fairly sweet service alright, still find it strange when you tap in the numbers/codes a random door opens beside you. Very Crystal Maze

CiDeRmAn · 09-02-2013 03:59PM

I wonder how long it will be before assorted body parts are found in one?
13 ladies right thumbs or something...
Some preserved human skin in jars, recognisable only by the tattoos....

CiDeRmAn · 09-02-2013 04:01PM

On a brighter note, the Parcel Motel site is back up and I could put some credit into my account there, Tatsunoko vs Capcom and sh1tty Logic 3 Arcade Stick incoming!

DinoRex · 09-02-2013 05:00PM

I've had barely any time to play with Mr. Drippy this week.

That's a character from Ni No Kuni, not a pet name for my penis.

Went to see this today with the kids for the youngest ones birthday, I was very dissapointed in it, all the best bits are in the trailer and far too much of the film was in the candy rush place. The film could have been about a lonely donut and all they would have to do was swap ralph out with it. I felt like i was tricked into going to see a film about old arcade games, then slapped in the face with a food film.

Steve X2 · 09-02-2013 07:44PM

Well, I've put the work out on AO and J+.
I'm looking for an Egret 2 and now the search begins

Really hope I can get one by the summer or the end of the summer at the latest.
Bloody rare yolks these days are the Egret 2's and 3's.

o1s1n · 09-02-2013 07:48PM

E3s are obtainable if you're willing to wait a little bit.

E2s you'll probably need to rent a van and travel over to the UK. And that's if one ever turns up!

Good luck with the hunt

I'm still waiting for an Aero Table to show up...hah, like that's ever going to happen

Don't be ridiculous Dinorex!
No one thinks Mr Drippy is your pet name for your Penis!
Foolish boy!

No, we all know Mr Drippy is your pet name for your anus!
At least, that's what the graffiti in the toilet of The Sugar Club says!

Augmerson · 09-02-2013 10:23PM

I printed off that scan after and it was perfect. So I'll do a colour one Monday and show you what it's like!
