Retro Arcade Pixel Wall Art

The six prints look like screens from an old arcade cabinet. Each has glowing pixel lettering on a dark, starry background with faint scan lines, framed by a pixel border. Together they read like one game played from start to finish: the title screen, a level up, a coin, extra lives, the high score table and the final countdown.

A small pixel cat in a cyan scarf shows up on three of the posters, and on the title screen a little robot stands next to it. The cat, the robot and the names on the high score table were made up for this set, and none of the screens come from a real game. The lettering uses a pixel alphabet drawn for these posters.

Because the posters started as vector art and were exported at full size, the pixel edges stay crisp even on a big print. They suit a gaming setup, a dorm, a basement bar or the wall behind a desk.

Unzip the folder for your frame size, upload the JPG unchanged and choose the print size, with no resizing needed. The dark background stays deep on matte or satin photo paper, while thin office paper can look streaky. At 16x20 in or bigger, send the file to a print shop or photo lab. The color is better and your ink lasts. At home, choose Actual size, or borderless printing if your printer offers it.
