interstellar concept design (funai), 1983

'art of the arcade' is nick dart's online collection of design and illustration work that took place in the golden era of arcade gaming.

'the idea behind the site is to try and give exposure to the designers that helped create a billion dollar industry and a new social past time.’ at present there's a modest collection of sketches, ads, illustrations and packaging and logo designs which nick is adding to on a regular basis. he also hopes to publish interviews with original designers and art directors from atari in the near future.
