Arcade game design was simply amazing.
Written By Jason Caldeira
I took my youngest son to a vintage arcade this past weekend, and as much as I loved sharing the experience of playing the games of my youth, I was even more taken aback by the design and typography of the physical housings. The graphics were just outstanding. The type was innovative and quirky. This stuff was done by true artisans, not templates. And the large majority of it was done the old fashioned way: by hand. As an industry we’ve been chasing this level of expertise ever since.
