The Candy Cab Project - Capcom Edition

I spent a whole month modelling these low poly arcade cabinets just for  fun (and practice with Cinema 4D). These sitdown and upright arcade cabinets were released in Japan between 1988 and 1995 by Capcom. You can find more information about them in here.

Click here to view the full project. Don’t forget to appreciate on Behance if you like! :)

I brought one of my G-net mobo’s to Monouchi’s Taito Station last weekend for firing up some shmups on one of his Egret II’s.

For having only 20+ titles available in total the G-net actually boasts quite a few shmup games. I’m still missing Ray Crisis but we played through the ones I have. I must...

As promised, here are some more posters I’ve rescued from my old poster box. I really wish I had stored them a little better.

These are all official posters that were distributed to game stores in Japan. My favorite from this batch is the double-sided Ghost in the Shell poster. GitS:SAC PS2 artwork on the front, and the original artwork for the PS1 GitS game on the back.

- Magna Carta (PS2)

- Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (PS2, front)

- Ghost in the Shell (PS1, rear)

- Metal Slug 4 (PS2)

- King of Fighters 2003 (PS2)

- Viewtiful Joe 2 (GC/PS2)

More posters from this amazing time capsule coming soon!
