It’s the beginning of the month and once again it’s time for another Arcade Flyer Archive update. This month’s update includes a rare Pac-Man flyer that makes no bones about Midway’s stance on copyright infringement, some more classic flyers, a swwet Paul Bunyon pinball machine and this week’s Arcade Flyer Art Saturday feature, Death Smiles (complete with “blow up skirt” game). Don’t forget that starting in January, TAFA will have a boatload of their flyers up for sale for a paltry $US 1 a piece. So, be sure to save up those pennies, Susan B. Anthony’s and Sacajawea’s!

Universal released Super Don Quix-ote in 1984 as their answer to the uber popular Dragon’s Lair. Unfortunately it was a rather lame answer. More »
After last week’s Arcade Flyer Art Saturday, I promised you something a little different this week. I went through TAFA and dug up the flyers for some of the more seminal and popular games that took video gaming from arcades and into our homes. Sure, a lot the art for these is not what you might consider terribly interesting but sometimes it’s good to go back to your roots. You can peruse the gallery at your leisure and after the jump, check out some short explanations of each flyer.
It’s the beginning of the month so it must be time for another Arcade Flyer Archive update! As usual TAFA graces us with another hundred flyers in each of their three categories: video games, pinball games and arcade amusement games. This month in video games we get Dead or Alive, Burger Time, House of the Dead 4 Special and Metal Slug X just to name a few. Pinball and Arcade Amusement also get their fair share with some new SMB Pinballs and Ashcraft’s favourite Love and Berry Dress Up Dance. So, head on over to TAFA and see what all the hub-bub is about. More »
The Arcade Flyer Archive update for September is in with tonnes of new flyers in all three archives. The video game section is especially exciting this time around because Dan went to a lot of trouble to get his hands on some amazing flyers from Japan including Out Run, Art of Fighting 2, Fatal Fury Special and Ikari Warriors. The Arcade & Amusement section is featuring some nice olde tyme shuffle and bowling type game flyers and the Pinball Archive has got some great new pieces with the likes of Buck Rogers, Judge Dredd and Q-Bert’s Quest.
Whether you’re a long time fan of TAFA or a newcomer, there’s plenty of stuff here to keep you occupied. Dig deep and you’re sure to find some gems.
