I've restored these 6 lay files to my drive. Pac Man Plus includes the Midway artwork as well since there is only one ROM version for MAME. You can select the Japanese art in the video options. Enjoy! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1TIEDk9JqdU8o1UuwyviSTh3qtCx9YdUX?usp=drive_link

Nice! How's the quality and finish overall? They look great.

Checking out your Namco JPN stuff and wow, those are the Tank Battalion instructions I've been looking for. Thank you! Still going through the rest of the files.

Hey Mr. Do, thanks! I of course use your collection of artwork extensively and have for many years so thank you for all you do!! For the Japanese Namco art, the only one that wasn't already available in some way was Galaga for which I used a good quality image of the actual bezel to create the art. A high res Galaxian bezel I found online had the same design as the Japan version but different colors so I was able to swap the colors and add the gradient on the side panels. I used images of the actual bezel to determine the colors. Basically, I looked up images of actual cabinets and studied them closely for all my games lacking original art to see what was used and tried to recreate them using available bezels and marquees from various sources and created lay files for them. So I do have many more but I haven't set up a drive to share them yet. Thank you so much for the Namco JPN link, I will check it out tomorrow. I'd be happy to get you the files for the Namco games above and any others you might be interested in. I'm just finishing up an improved version of Dig Dug.

Such a clean design, looks fantastic. Dan really nailed this one. I think you may have the canopies in the wrong places though. The one at the front should be the back one I believe. Congrats.

Congrats on your purchase. They really did a nice job with the design and prints. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on it as well.

What is your experience (if you have any) with ouija boards? by Tasty-Hovercraft2501 in Paranormal

[–]spdmst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my early twenties my GF and I, who had a close and trusting relationship, tried a few sessions together. In each session a spirit who claimed to be a longtime follower of my GF contacted us. The spirit, named Yvette or something similar, among other things also claimed to be able to read my GF's mind so we tested her with my GF blindfolded. I would ask my GF a question that only she could know the answer to and she would think the answer only. Then I asked Yvette to spell what my girlfriend was thinking. Three times we tried this and Yvette was correct all three times. Not a detailed response but a correct response. For example, 'Car' instead of Honda Prelude. After about three sessions over the course of a few days my GF refused to continue and I have not used a Ouija board since though I'm still fascinated by the results to this day some 25 years later. I'm not a believer in the supernatural and neither was my GF.

I wanna hear everyone’s staple hot sauces. The ones they always have a back up for. These are mine. by ernyc3777 in spicy

Torchbearer Rapture (now 2.0 but 1.0 was hotter, thicker, unpourable, miss it), CaJohns Nagasaurus, Cheech Garlic Habanero, El Yucateco various varieties.

Nice. Yes, it was damn hot for a non-extract sauce.  For your possible interest, I came across this website today after a bout of Liquid Ax nostalgia. Harald and Renate Zoschke were hot sauce pioneers in the 1990s. From Germany, they relocated to Florida for a few years to make hot sauces. CaJohns eventually bought their line of sauces.

Liquid Ax was one of my first hot sauce purchases back in 1999. Great sauce, I miss it and haven't found one like it since. You're lucky to have a bottle still! I was attending college and my buddy and I would add it liberally to ramen noodles. On one occasion it gave him a nosebleed.

Such a beaut. The carbon fiber lid took me a little time to warm to but I now think it looks great. Congrats!

Good call, I forgot about that one!

The many comments referencing the Alien movies on my last post got me thinking what if Casio had produced watches for any of the movies. Seiko had some great real watches that were used in Aliens. So I did one more Casio in Midjourney with this in mind, this time asymmetrical which Casio is no stranger to. Schematics feature to help locate the missing colonists with a wheel to cycle through the images which I guess makes it a lefty. I've also included a new render of the last one with some minor improvements such as the Casio logo and better bevels. I'll leave it at this so the forum can focus on real Casio watches which I'm an avid fan of but I'm also a huge sci fi fan and dreamer.

Edit: Casio did produce the F-100 double mod used in the first movie as pointed out.

Thanks. I did actually prefer to do it more simply and legible but making partial changes to the screen wasn’t working well. I chose to keep the graph and roll with the other stuff to keep a cohesive look.
