About This File

I use the awesome Bigbox function to display marquees on a secondary monitor. For years I've been collecting high res Mame arcade marquees from all over the internet and since the start of this project got huge help from people in the community to expand this collection, please see the credits below. Not all marquees are in 4K but many are, I've down scaled the resolution to max 3840 pixels wide and max 2160 pixels high and saved all in .jpg format for a good size and quality balance. This project includes Naomi and Atomiswave marquees as well as other arcade systems.

These marquees go hand in hand with this bezel project: 

Credits 
I have forgotten where I got all marquees through the years but I know many came from the legendary @Mr. Do collection see: https://mrdo.mameworld.info/index.php and the many members that create artwork at: https://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?Cat=
@ArsInvictus is certainly one of the providers as well. A huge thank you to @mOa and @JonnyModlin for providing many many marquees to this collection. Many lower resolution marquees came from the legendary team of AntoPisa at https://www.progettosnaps.net/

Also a huge thanks to the following people and sites: @PapaShine, @Dreamstate, @flanx, imbord3rlin3, @djweevil666, http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/, @THK, https://flyers.arcade-museum.com/, https://www.flyerfever.com/, https://www.recreativas.org/, Ken at https://www.flickr.com/photos/10707024@N04/, zzzaccaria.com, Hasan Tasdemir from Nationaal Video Game Museum for the opportunity to photograph at your amazing museum.

Hope you enjoy this collection.

You're welcome man. You can send me marquees that you haven't send me before as I've mentioned to you before, if you have better quality resolution versions of marquees they are also welcome.

Ah yes, I remember cleaning/restoring and redrawing a bunch of these. Brings me back :)

I had such a big to do list with various quality source material left, before I buggered out of the scene.

At least I managed to finished my collection of system logo redraws (and a shit ton of arcade manufacturers/publishers)! 😄

I did another recreation of a marquee, I really liked the colorful Turbo Out Run marquee you've send me @JonnyModlin (much nicer than the current marquee in the collection) but it was only 1000px wide and there wasn't anything larger on the internet, but I found a high resolution image of the car so I could work from that. Hope you like :)

Thanks man! Just for the record I don't do pinball marquees as that's another world on it's own to dive into, I remember I used to play visual pinball back in 2005 and there where scans of the marquees in their community. I bet since the coming of HD and 4k the scans got better as well, so to have the best quality possible that's out there I'd have to dive into their community and I don't have the time to do that, so I keep it to video games only.

A  recreation of the deluxe version marquee of Sega Bass Fishing aka Get Bass (Japan) 1997. Found a good quality image of the fish prop and worked from there.

The deluxe version marquees for Get Bass and Sega Bass Fishing look great, perfect, and amazing. Which coming of the HD and 4K scans got better? Sorry I sent my pinball marquees that i found on the internet, since you only do videogames. I am waiting to see the 4K resolution for the marquee the rest.

Thanks man. I ment with the coming of HD and 4k; the era of the coming of those higher resolution displays.

Is the G.I. Joe Japan Marquee going to be added in the next marquees update that I sent an attachment for the G.I. Joe Japan Marquee image as a zip?
