Reviewing classic arcade game blogs

I’ve mentioned a number of times, there are a ton of arcade collectors websites, but there aren’t that many of those websites that are arcade collecting ‘blogs’. Today I wanted to spotlight some of these arcade game blogs, tell you what is great about them and what about their content that keeps me coming back for more.

Mappy cocktail artwork

Jeff Waldron was nice enough to save and give me some artwork he had laying around from a Mappy cocktail. I like Mappy quite a bit, (thank you Jakks TV Games) and enjoy the artwork so it is nice to know that I have the cocktail glass underlay as well as two control panel overlays in case anyone ever wants to make reproductions or just needs scans for any reason.

Brian finished some new arcade keychain designs, adding them to the existing Dig Dug, Zookeeper and Centipede. In the previous post I mentioned the Centipede keychain, but now we actually get to see photos as well as the new Joust and Robotron keychains.

It’s Aaron Eckhart as Two Face! (Image)

Warner Brothers is frantically sending C&D’s to websites over a certain image of Aaron Eckhart’s damaged face as Two Face. If you search ‘Two Face Concept Art’, you’ll be able to get more of the story. Typically I don’t like to repost content, but I had such a hard time finding photos / images of Two Face from The Dark Knight that I wanted everyone to be able to find and see Two-Face, even those who aren’t searching for ‘concept art’ from the Batman movie.
