My Realistic Arcade Bezels

Thank you. I appreciate it. I did Boulder Dash.

Tetris

Sexy Parodius

Those are great request and I’m ready to make them. Just one problem though. I don’t have the assets. It’s hard to find the official scanned bezels or decals for these Arcade games. Especially in high quality. If you can find the assets for me. I’ll make them.

I’ve actually attempted Punch Out before but abandoned the project. It was gonna be a Playchoice Mame bezel. The first of it’s kind. I didn’t like the way it was coming out though. I have several abandoned projects just laying around.

Oh, right! So many versions of Tetris and Boulder Dash :slight_smile:

The Darius cabinet seems to be just a marquee and an artwork above the control panel (which are high res).

The Punch-Out cabinet seems to be pretty simple (exactly like you did), except the control panel and the marquee.
I like where you were going. What did you not like about it?
However, the original Puch-Out arcade was not a Playchoice-10. It showed the current score and time on the top screen and the action on the bottom one.

The mshvsf cabinet seems to be just the “msh” one (which you already did) and a different marquee/logo.

spf2t is just a black border with instructions (which are high res).

For the rest, yeah, I did not find anything “official” either (or in 200*300px…), or they’re just a black border with an “instructions” sticker. It seems that since the mid-90’s, arcade games had much simpler and generic cabinets, I guess so owners could change the games inside more easily?

However, I have compiled a bunch of basic overlays from various sources. They’re often just official artwork or fanart split in two, but maybe you can find something you like there?

Mainly what frustrated me about the Punch Out bezel was the quality of the image and that I couldn’t figure out how to match the two game screens with my bezel screens.

What’s disappointing about Arcade bezels from a historical point of view is that as the years went by less Arcade games would use them. Most started using instruction decals or nothing at all. The early 90’s is the last era that used artwork for bezels like with SFII and MK games. So some bezels I have to make up myself and I really don’t like to do it because I like authenticity. Which brings me to those basic bezels you’re showing me. I could do them, but I wouldn’t like them and wouldn’t feel proud of them. Plus I’d have to track down the artist to give them credit. As I release each part in my Realistic Arcade bezel series it’s getting harder and harder to find scans of authentic Arcade bezels. That’s why it’s taking me longer to release each part. I’ve had a lot of help though from the team members of the Mame artwork community and for that I’m grateful.

Yeah, I also find it disappointing that the “newer” games generally don’t have bezels, and I completely understand not wanting to make “unofficial” bezels. It’s just not the same.

I hope you keep on finding new artworks so you can keep on delighting us with your creations :slight_smile:

Well here we are at part 40. I can’t believe it. I remember reaching 30 and thinking it was gonna take forever to get to 40. Well as long I keep discovering arcade games and interesting bezels I’ll keep making them. I wanna thank everyone who has supported my channel and all there kind words and advice. It’s awesome and I appreciate it. I also wanna thank the artistic creators as well who preserve these bezels as well as create their own unique bezels. Thank you!

I’ve had this Neo Geo bezel for a while but was hesitant to release it. It didn’t fit with the other Neo Geo bezels I made and the screen is a different size. I wish I had better material for it as well, but now that SNK announced the Neo Geo Mini and it’s design is based off the SC25-4 Cab. I thought why not just post it. Enjoy!

These are beautiful.

Is there a generic cabinet in the same style? Meaning, one without artwork.

Also, is there a big file with the whole collection somewhere?
