Hi,
I'm pursuing getting a blank curve marque made but I don't yet have anything to put behind the new blank. I've never seen the marque art and a flyer has not been found for this game so it's looking like a "creative interpretation" might be needed based on the existing art. At the moment it has a Firebird marque in it from it's Phoenix conversion...



I have full res scans of the monitor bezel and control panel overlay to use and I'm guessing the font for "Sea Scare" might have matched the manual:











The flat size of the backing plexi-roll would be 14.1/8" high, 23.7/16" wide. Willing to work out a trade or payment for someone to create something :)

Thanks,

Paul.

A beautiful cab and a great challenge for our vector masters. ;)

I am always for helping out somebody if i can.
i can trace and copy very well if i may say so, but creating art is a different dance.

Sorry to say, but i dont dance at all  8)

If someone makes a raster version which need to be vectorised, then i can help you out.

i am a good "cloner" but not creative at all...  sorry

Heh, me neither. Doesn't have to be a spectacular work of art as I hope eventually one will turn up. I was thinking just the waves from the CP at the bottom, the "Sea Scare" name and the invaders from the CP in the top right & left corners against a black background.

Anyone know anything about this place?

https://perswww.kuleuven.be/~u0008708/museum.htm

The history of videogames is presented at the Toy Museum (Speelgoedmuseum), Nekkerspoel 21, B-2800 MECHELEN, BELGIUM (telephone: 32 (0)15 557075) as 'Arcade & Co. History and prehistory of videogames' from July 1999. This is the collection.

In the flyer list for Zaccaria, Sea Scare is listed. Anyone fancy popping over and taking a picture or scan of it.  ;D

Paul.

Ha, that collection has long been sold to two parties, one wa Marco in Holland, the other I believe the former World of Arcade. I saw most of the machines at Marco's place a long time ago and he sold on a good number of them. Didn't see that cab though.....

It's not the cab, I think it's the flyer that's listed.

I actually managed to make a repro curved plexi  ;D









The flash has made the texturing look worse than it actually is in practice, but I think I know how to fix that 3rd time around :)

I'm taking the job!
...and I already worked on some design, let me know what you think...honestly!
(I took some liberty with the writing to make the name look a bit cooler).

Nice designs, but I have a feeling, that the original one looks quite different ;)
