    @HurricaneFan Meanwhile I was able to find good quality artwork to be used for Gyruss, Silkworm, Moon Patrol , Pole Position, Pooyan and Darkstalkers. Work on their overlays already started... some may be released this WE...depending on the time I will be able to find ;-)

    Also working on some new logos for ES; e.g. Specific Logo for Vector games as suggested here.

    Still looking for good quality scan or picture of the bezel for "The end" (stern); could anybody help on this ?

        @HurricaneFan thanks for the support.
        Unfortunately I already searched the web extensively and only low resolution images like these are available. It's not enough to create a good quality overlay as I can't see the details.

        I'm now in contact with the owner of the real arcade machine and he's so kind that he'll take and send me high res photos of his cabinet.

          Gyruss overlays, for both Konami and Centuri versions, made.

          0_1489865438297_gyrussce_udb-ovl.jpg

          Available in the Overlay Repository.

          Just tested and working fine.

          Screenshots are welcome as usual; for me it's time for dinner now ;-)

            Created another overlay for a classic:
            Time Pilot (Konami).

            Available in the Overlay Repo as usual.

            0_1489956161711_timeplt_udb-ovl.png

            3 versions actually exist; Centuri and Konami (original) have similar graphics with slightly different marquee. Atari's (UK and Ireland) cabinet is (was) totally different. Will create the other version too in the future...

            The "strange" gradient in the top part of the sky reflects the original arcade cabinet bezel.

            No more volunteers for screencaps ?

                        And here's Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors (Capcom).
                        Again great artwork for this title.

                            @UDb23 You know what? You should post your paypal account info on the repo's README.md. I'm sure you'll get some coffees... :-)

                                    Another real Classic Arcade you got to know is Xevious.

                                    It absolutely deserved a retropie overlay; here it is !

                                    0_1490738644968_xevious_udb-ovl.png

                                    Based on original cabinet artwork as usual.

                                        @UDb23 I couldn't get the new Xevious overlay working. I installed it through the script and I see all the right files. It just wouldn't load at all for me.

                                          Sorry for Xevious, there was an additional line in the cfg.
                                          I did manual install right now and it works.
