As you already know Chris, but for anyone else wanting to know, I am still waiting on Rory to get back to email to see if he can just scan his NOS Mad Planets underlay and I would consider at least finishing the artwork on that piece.

@Jeff Rothe – I would be happy to scan that front piece. I have to take my cp apart to fix the trigger anyway.

I was asked to look at this over a year ago but never got a good scan of the bezel. When looking at the art that was e-mailed to me (from localarcade.com) I agree that there was quite a bit of detail. Nice job.

Glad you guys left a comment.

@Chris – If I do finish this soon, would you have time over the weekend to scan the front piece below the Mad Planets cpanel to do next?

I did another hour worth of work last night, bad headache and here I thought staring at a computer screen longer would help that

@Jeff – I would very much like to see a photo of that original, since I am getting to be a bit of junkie now for this game…

Nice work on the bezel Mr. Rothe, I look forward to seeing the finished product.

@ Jeff Lee – anytime you’d like to play the actual game, you are welcome to stop by and give it a whirl. I think you’re in the neighborhood.

I don’t recall who originally did the Mad Planets bezel artwork, but it was either Terry Doerzaph or the late David A. Moore under the art direction of Richard Tracy. I got a kick out of seeing it again…especially the spaceship. Somewhere I probably have the original model, which I made out of heavy bristol board and tape and india ink.
