Looks awesome. These are the posts that make me want one of these vertical setups… but I try not to think about it.

Very cool and nostalgic.
Are the Star Wars overlays still in the release queue?
Awesome as always, thanks for sharing.

Love this one! Thanks for sharing as always! I’ll set it up for the megabezel (will try for this weekend) and add it to the google drive

Thanks @Drybonz, if you ever get the chance it’s totally worth it, even if you mount a TV on the wall vertically it can be a game changer!
Thanks mate - Yes absolutely, literally the only thing on the way is getting the mega bezel reflection on the cab plastics going, just been too busy! Happy to share the standard files for now though?

Thanks @ArsInvictus, I’ve been meaning to get this topper version done since I first saw yours and started doing overlays with you, this is only a variant and by no means meant to replace any that come before it!
it’s kind of fitting I used one of your earlier vertical overlays as a basis for this 
not one of my most polished, but I love the way it comes together on my cabs, that CPO light and buttons reflect off the real control panel really well 
really need to set up and start using megabezels for my cabs sometime! Thank you

Yes, please do share the standard files. I’ve been looking forward to them ever since you previewed Star Wars back in March.

Yeah, sorry, life has a funny way of getting crazy busy sometimes!! ! clearly wanted to get it done months ago! Currently it looks mostly like this, just a few bits to clean up and I’ll have it up within the next week I promise

Star Wars (Atari 1983) and Empire Strikes Back (Atari 1985) 4k Vertical Overlay
Two for one on this cab! No real explanation needed, this is a long overdue upload! Empire was a kit for the original 1983 classic so the only changes are the Yoke art and the marquee. Fully 3D creation of the bezel and yoke etc lovingly re-created by myself, artwork kindly scanned and supplied by the always helpful @ArsInvictus from his cab build. @NeoKarnage, hope these do the job, Enjoy!

Thanks @ArsInvictus, that’s very kind of you as always sorry they took so long! Loving finally getting into your more recent custom overlays, been playing the s*** out of Xexex and Gradius - also that Mikie overlay brings back loads of memories! So many Beautiful overlays we also truly don’t deserve, but there they are!!

Two more masterpiece gifts to the community. No need to ever apologize for something you’re creating in your spare time for free. The quality of overlay artwork that’s come from this forum the last few years is mind blowing. Thanks for the time, effort, and skills used to recreate the cabinets to our favorite games from a long time ago and decades far, far away…

Awesome stuff, @PapaShine… I used your image to make a bezel for my horizontal layouts. Definitely not as cool as the full vertical look, but a huge improvement over the old low res images from picture that we have all been using for a long time. I couldn’t quite get it to fit the game screen as well as my old one, but I’m assuming it had to be stretched vertically to make it work for yours. I also had to slightly alter the inner frame area on both of them to make everything fit better horizontally. Anyway, here’s before and after screenshots for anyone interested.
Before (old art)
After (PapaShine art)

That’s really lovely of you to say, as always I appreciate everyone’s feedback, glad they where worth the wait for you I’m loving having a propper 4k resolution overlay for these two, thanks for encouraging me to get them out the door!
Yes totally agree, the sheer volume and quality of the work on this thread blows my mind time after time, we’re so lucky to have so much talent working on this format to bring all of this amazing game art to life! it’s truly priceless.

Hey… that’s awesome. Thanks. There’s still a lot of people using horizontal megabezel setups that, I’m sure, would love to have a nice basic copy of your great artwork to use for their setups. Any of your past ones that you want to post an un-doctored copy of, I’m sure, would be appreciated (no pressure at all). Thanks again for these.

Yeah, that looks incredible… lol. If you can post that with a transparent background so people can use it with any background in megabezel that would be the ultimate resource for this game and ESB (for horizontal that is). Definitely looks awesome.
