Here's another MAME request: Dead Connection.
I still have a few things I want to do, but what do you think so far? The character eases in from the right and then the flaming car hurls out behind him.

I think it's very cool. It has good proportions and that effect you mention should be great.

Great work as always rondar, excellent, just a TAITO logo somewhere and it will be perfect, perhaps on the car-front-number plate. This theme definitely suits the overall atmosphere, look and feel of the game. Many thanks. Cheers

Here's the updated version. I spruced up the title; added a matching vid border; Taito logo; and added a moving hand/gun (with shots and muzzle flash!).
Enjoy! Anything else I forgot?

The Arcade Flyer Archive. The secret is messing around with the Noise/remove noise filter and adjusting colors. (And then I have to paint over all those damn Japanese characters.)
That's the one I posted in the request thread as well. My no.1 stop for arcade game artwork.
I'll take those pointers in account for any future themes, thx!
