Artcade: Extended Edition offers a chance to revisit your youth through the vibrant artwork of classic arcade games, including Asteroids, Battlezone, Street Fighter II, Out Run, Moon Patrol, QBert*, Bubble Bobble, and many more. Each marquee has been faithfully recreated using beautiful lithographic printing on the highest quality paper, bringing these iconic images to life with stunning detail.

Originally published in 2015, Artcade was the result of a collaboration between Bitmap Books and arcade enthusiast Tim Nicholls. This labor of love emerged from Nicholls' dedication to restoring his vast collection of original arcade game artwork, representing titles from the past four decades. The Extended Edition enhances the original concept by adding an even larger selection of memorable marquee art, now more striking than ever thanks to the expanded size of the book. Additionally, this edition includes more side panel and cabinet artwork, providing a fuller view of the complete arcade machine and how it would have appeared in its prime.

While the artwork remains the primary focus of Artcade, this new edition also includes additional written content. A brand-new exclusive interview with the legendary Larry Day, known for his work on iconic titles like Moon Patrol and the pinball machine Catacomb, offers unique insights into the history of arcade gaming. There’s also a detailed how-to chapter contributed by Escape Pod, one of the leading experts in arcade artwork restoration. This section is perfect for anyone interested in restoring their own vintage arcade machines.

In total, Artcade: Extended Edition presents 300 iconic coin-op games across 356 pages, all enclosed in a limited edition glow-in-the-dark heavy board slipcase, making it a must-have for any arcade enthusiast.
