My Atari 2600 High Score Scoreboard

Recommended Posts

I found an old Dr. Pepper menu board that was dirty and had a very faded Dr. Pepper sign. My 14 y.o. and I removed the Dr. Pepper sign along with the musty backing and then washed the sign and cleaned up the letters to the best of our ability. Afterward, we cut some pictures from Tim Lapetino's excellent Art of Atari poster book (it pained me to do this but I'm pleased with the results) and created our own signs. I think it turned out pretty well, at least well enough to share. What do you think? The Asteroids score isn't real, I just stuck some numbers there for spacing.

I'll share some of the other pictures if anyone is interested.

Love it! How creative, and perfect for the game room!   :)
 

Kinda curious what the old sign looked like. Did you happen to take a pic of it before discarding?

Here's the "B=sides" of Asteroids and Video Pinball. Given that these pictures are simply the result of cutting out the picture on the other side, they turned out really well. IMG_4283.thumb.JPG.e25d8d85b90ed6063ca6910ac416b0ea.JPGIMG_4285.thumb.JPG.82796a2771d969d9c187f04d88fe4e2c.JPG
