Another update from Anthony at QuarterArcade.com on the arcade game warehouse discovery in PA. We know he got a large quantity of NOS (New Old Stock - Unused old arcade artwork) in the warehouse buy and today we have a more comprehensive list with some photos.

NOS Sega Pengo sideart arrives
I didn’t think that the artwork would arrive so soon, but the Pengo sideart arrived on my doorstep this afternoon. Hans came across these two pieces of NOS right side Pengo artwork in Chicago and posted about them on Klov a couple days back. I was lucky enough to get a hold of them. (Warning

New Jr. Pac-man Registry entry
Just a quick post, I updated the Jr. Pac-man arcade game registry with Anthony Pietrak’s Jr. Pac-man this afternoon.

New Donkey Kong 2 Webpage Design
Soon after I posted about developing some arcade blog wordpress themes, Rich at This Old Game had expressed some interest in having me do a design for his Donkey Kong 2 artwork package page. Today, I quickly designed and coded that page from scratch and it is now online at Thisoldgame.com
Sega Pengo Pushing Marquee Vectors Complete

Rotheblog hits 10,000 visitors!
Just a short, exciting note tonight. According to Google Analytics, Rotheblog has hit 10,000 unique visitors over the past month! I was looking to hit this first benchmark around the end of May 2008, but I exceeded my own projections. (more…)
Arcade Gameroom Decorations
Got a comment last nice on one of my Pengo high score posts from a guy named Dave who runs a website called BrickPlayer. He wanted to show me some of his wall mountable arcade character art made out of flat legos, in this instance a mosaic of Pengo and a Sno-Bee with some Ice Blocks. Pretty simple idea, I checked out the website but I didn’t see a section to buy a kit just yet, and that might be good. I am not sure that this artwork for arcade gameroom decoration is a fully realized concept. (more…)
