Surf Champ
Gottlieb, 1976I was following Aper-caper ‘s
Surf Champ thread and thought about how that game has one of my favorite cabinet art packages. The waves, surfers, and blue&yellow hues are outstanding in my opinion. Out of my collection,
Ship Ahoy is my favorite with the pirate ships. Thoughts...?
So so many.. Hulk is one of my favorites.
I've kinda always wondered if the cabinet artist on older machines was the same as the playfield or backglass artist, or if there was a artist specialty to doing the 'simpler' stencil art. Stern Dracula comes to mind from my collection, the playfield is so different from the backglass which is so different from the cabinet art, although the plastics look like the backglass.

No worries, the Hulk is pretty damn close and I’m a big fan.
Quoted from Grizlyrig:I know this in the EM section but...
RZ has to have the best cabinet art ever.

Holy cannolis, that RZ is epic! I’ve never seen one before.

That has crossed my mind too. I know Bank Shot is a great game, but it seems like the different art departments weren’t talking to each other at the time. All they knew was it was Some kind of a pool theme.
Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:Not mine, but I thought the EM homebrew Quidditch side art was epic.[quoted image]
Wow, that’s awesome! It’s times like this when I wish there was another upvote option like a Super-upvote, a two thumbs up, or something.
