+cvga Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 That it incredibly cool. Those marquees look great. I have a bunch of them in a box but they're not all in new condition. How did you attach them to your wall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwan-iwanowitsch-goratschin Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 That´s a good idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) I did something similar but on a much smaller scale with printouts of arcade flyers. I printed out Pong, Computer Space, Sea Wolf, shark Jaws, Astro Invader, Space Invaders and Galaxian 8.5 x 11 flyers you can find off the net. I bought cheap frames from Salvation Army, spray painted the frames with fluorescent orange and yellow paint and hung them below the black lights in the Retrocade. It looks really sweet.

How did you attach them to your wall? Uh.. cheapo scotch tape. You can see a couple coming off. ~ I basically wanted to get the more popular/influential ones over the years. I felt bad about missing out on some good ones (Satan's Hollow, Tank, Domino Man, etc.) but overall I think I had a pretty good selection. Thanks for the props all!

I wouldn't think that Scotch tape would be strong enough to hold a marquee. Some of those are pretty heavy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 They aren't the marquees themselves, they're scans he made of the marquees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you show some pics? I'd like to see them. This isn't the greatest pic - on the wall you'll see four of the marquees. What I need to do is turn on the black lights and get closeups. While I'm doing that, I'll just photograph my entire collection for the Show and Tell forum and post a link to it.

retrorussell Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 Cool.. but I think the best thing about your gameroom is the carpet! Nice spacey look to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Cool.. but I think the best thing about your gameroom is the carpet! Nice spacey look to it! Thx - it should have said "flyers" not "marquees" (that were on the wall). That pic was from the Retrocade III party so the chairs aren't there full-time.
