Something to stick on your wall

A poster featuring some of the classics of the old arcades.

Nice.

The colors for Donkey kong and congo bongo looks different than what I remembered!

 

DK looks like crazy kong ... maybe crazy kong part2.

Not bad, though I'm not sure why they'd have Berzerk and Frenzy on the same poster. What, no vector games? Tsk tsk. Tempest should be on there for sure, and Star Trek: SOS.

All looks good to me except why is Gyruss showing a title screen when rest show gameplay?

Good comments everyone!

 

There's a story behind this poster. I put it together back in 1997 while doing visual FX for film and TV.

 

At the time, these were the screen captures that I was able to find on the web. Hence the colors on some of them are messed up and Gyruss only showed the title image.

 

As for vectors, I have a version of it printed that has Gravitar and a few other vector games shown. Problem is, when you print vector games, they end up looking really dark (you can barely make out the lines). So I swapped them out for rasters.

 

Now if I could actually find my original Illustrator files, I could edit this (or if I actually had the time I could capture new screens and re-do it).

 

As for Berzerk and Frenzy on the same page.... Well, I really like both, so both went on there.

 

If I were to drop a game from this set, it would be Donkey Kong 3.

 

To make up for the lack of the Star Trek and Tempest vector games, here's a few videos I threw together of some vector classics:
