Fixed... thank you.

Well... this is what the main page is for, and why I spent an entire waking day on redoing the artwork type on that page. If the game is not on that page, the artwork has not been completed yet. If the game is on that page, but only Bezel is listed, then the marquee and control panel are still missing, etc.

I don't even know completely what I have on hand at the moment. You have access to the FTP... you can see everything that is in there. Everything I have available at the moment, I'm pretty sure, is there.
> Maybe bezels that have yet to be scanned, a most wanted list.
At least two threads on the forum that talk about this; the most recent one is one I started myself.
Rather than trying to create a wanted list of all games available ever, it would be much easier if maybe I had a list of games somewhat immediately available, privately if it can't be made public. That would be easy.
> This would be helpful to some looking to pick up a bezel to work on.
I would love to believe that there are others besides you and me that are willing to source artwork for this.
Reality: blinddog submitted some pics for a few of his games in 2017. That is the only outside submission of arcade artwork, other than you or me, since 2011.
(Note that I have received more than a few submissions of artwork for non-arcade stuff.)
Hoping that I can go visit Gene in Glendale again in a couple months to see if he has gathered anything new recently. He has so much stuff going in and out over there, I've probably missed out on a bunch of artwork by not stopping by anymore.
And I hope that the other collector I met some years ago is willing to talk to me still. I visited one day to scan and take pics of some stuff, as an initial run, hoping to be able to come back on another day to do a major scan haul of stuff. Second part never panned out. Going to try and reach out again, to see if it's still possible; so much potential here. Probably doesn't help that I haven't completed yet any of the artwork acquired from that initial visit (going to for sure this year).
RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
