Don’t Zak, the Slug 1 is so much nicer, I used to have quite a few Cave B1 posters including that… but I couldn’t put them up, too embarrassing, where as Slug 1 that is a great poster.

This should be probably be spun off to its own thread.

Also, the real answer for best arcade poster is Baraduke.

Namco released reprints of their arcade posters over a decade ago. I've seen a few of those on YAJ, uncluding Baraduke. Almost bought a Dragon Buster poster, but...

Agreed, done.

Dinoslug reprazent :awe:

I think my Metal Slug one may be a repro as it's an oddball size, it's not B1 but it's bigger than A1. I can only imagine its been made from stock larger than A1. @andygeezer gave it to me 10+ years ago. I know Andy did some work with @maxchainsplendid at one point so it could be one of his? I've not seen any other repros the same for a number of years but I seem to remember seeing a similar one recently. It's really nice quality though.

@nem have noticed the dragon busters and a few others but never the baraduke fs

anyone know if there was differences with the origianls to determine reprint /original ? same with the snk ones ? I was tempted to buy the kof94 reprint to compare as I have the original.

Slug 1, 2 and 3 definitely all came in B1 ;) Not sure about X

Slug 1 was printed on thicker/non glossy paper (easiest way to verify authenticity).
