Wednesday Website of The Week: Art of The Arcade

Speaking as someone who has blown-up artwork from four Atari cartridges above his desk, I really like this week's website of the week brought to us via dvice.com Art of the Arcade chronicles the artwork of the glory days of arcade games and cartridge systems. Back then, the artwork wasn't some sort of screen capture of in-game footage. Quite the opposite. The art sold the game. It showed you the world you could inhabit in your imagination when playing. And when the arcade cabinets and cartridges weren't selling us a fantasy world, they were delighting us with some of the best retro-fonts created.

While it looks like there's only four pages of artwork, click on the archive button for many more. Enjoy the trip down memory lane without spending a quarter at Art of The Arcade.
