I posted some updates to my Gunsmoke Restoration Thread over at CoinOpSpace.com. I’ve decided on the cabinet I intend on using for the restoration along with the side art I plan on applying. Spoiler – it ain’t the art that came with the kit…it’s CUSTOM!
I’ve decided to throw my (cowboy) hat into the ring over at coinopspace.com as they are holding a summer arcade restoration contest:
In keeping with the rules, I can only post original content on coinopspace.com to remain eligible for the top prize. Therefore, I cannot post the restoration process on nocashvalue.info until AFTER the contest deadline. However, I will continue to update the site letting you all know when another update to the restoration has been made. Check out my Gunsmoke restoration thread or feel free to browse the rest of my competition. Let me know how you think I’m stacking up. Wish me luck!
As those of you who follow my site have probably noticed, I designed a new header. The header is using artwork from my original “Holy Grail” of arcade games – Galaga. I altered the colors to reflect the rest of the site’s theme and added some swooping ships along with the use of a cool photoshop brush to give the “ray” effect.
Once I made the graphic for nocashvalue.info, I slightly modified it to use as the header of my personal profile on coinopspace.com . Coin Op Space is a up-and-coming social network for arcade game enthusiasts that blows current forums and newsgroups out of the water. Advantages to coinopspace.com include personal profiles that let you edit appearance, add videos, photos, and blogs. You can subscribe to posts or groups using RSS feeds and can even integrate your own content from a blog onto your profile. Like myspace, you can add music, gather friends, and send messages.
In addition to the new graphic, I was able to edit the CSS code to change text colors, hide unwanted text, and adjust background images and mouseover effects. While I was there, I added a new group for collectors and enthusiasts of Playchoice 10. Won’t you check out the discussion that’s going on at CoinOpSpace? See you there!
