One of my favortie parts of collecting MVS carts is searching for a nice marquee to put in my geo cab. Sure I can just make one on the cumputers, but whats the fun. . . I want an original SNK one!!! Why did they (snk/Playmore) stop making them? Sengoku 3 no marquee, Kof 2K1 no marquee, NITD no marquee, Zupapa no marquee anyway you get the point, but why???? I love those little marquees!!!!!

For most of the gaming public, people see a red Neo (1,2,4,6 slot) machine and the first thing they think is "That's still around? I played that YEARS ago".

Now most of the new releases have full size marquees. This is so that arcade operators can attract people to the game (through a dedicated cab) and not draw attention to the fact that this is indeed the same hardware that Nam1975 was played.

It's all to attract modern arcade gamers.
