Arcade Artwork

Sega Pengo Side Art Alternate Version

I’ve been excitedly waiting for two weeks and my new piece of arcade game artwork has arrived! I worked out a deal and was able to secure the Pengo sideart from the QuarterArcade.com warehouse raid. Check out the photos. (more…)


Ms. Pac-man Marquee Reproduction Versions

I can only guess that there have been a number of different Ms. Pac-man marquee reproductions floating around over the past ten years, especially before 2000 when Two-Bits officially started offering licensed artwork from Namco. I am going to go over three different versions of the Ms. Pac-man marquees in this post including detail photos of the Ms. Pac-man marquee you can purchase from Two-Bits. Check out the detailed photos and additional information after the jump. (more…)


Ms. Pac-man overlays, bezels and Two-Bits – Oh My!

As I waited for one set of photos of a reproduction version of the Ms. Pac-man marquee, and another set of photos for my future artwork comparison of the Two-Bits Ms. Pac-man bezel I decided I would do a little research. I am a relatively new collector, and I figured I could always educate myself more on the history of the Ms. Pac-man artwork and Two-Bits in general. (more…)


Two Bits Ms. Pac-man Bezels

After the great response to the post about the terrible reproduction quality of the Two Bits Ms. Pac-man control panel overlays, I am now hoping to do something similar for the Ms. Pac-man bezel. (more…)


Mr. Do! Conversion Control Panel Artwork

I saw an eBay auction a week back or so for a Mr. Do! conversion that had some conversion artwork on the control panel that I hadn’t seen before.

Two Bits Ms. Pac-man Control Panel Overlay Artwork Inaccurate

Everyone should know that when you buy artwork for your Pac-man / Ms. Pac-man from Two-Bits you are buying crap. But I still see questions, comments and discussion on arcade game forums from new collectors who aren’t sure if they should buy a bezel, control panel overlay, or the vinyl Ms. Pac-man sticker artwork or not to restore their own machines.

I’m here to show you why you shouldn’t buy the control panel overlay. You’ll be shocked at the terrible inaccuracy of the Ms. Pac-man artwork from Two-Bits. Oh yeah, and I have a scan of the Ms. Pac-man control panel overlay for you if you are interested in downloading it to vectorize and print yourself. (more…)


Stencil Ms. Pac-man Cabinet – Part 1

There have been plenty of great tutorials written by other arcade collectors on the topic of re-stenciling artwork on arcade game cabinets. This article series will incorporate those tips and tricks and specifically apply them to stenciling and restoring a Ms. Pac-man arcade game. Wundercade was one of the select few who got a set of the Ms. Pac-man stencils from Joymonkey, and he is going to walk us through his Ms. Pac-man re-painting and stenciling process from start to finish. Hopefully this will be helpful information to the general public since Ms. Pac-man is one of the widest known arcade games around. (more…)
