Well, I think the images we have seen here are better and if that is the going price then I may duck out of buying one just yet.
For the record, Alien verses Predator on the Atari Jaguar holds a Guinness World Record!

To remove any awkwardness, I have mesothelioma. I don’t seek sympathy, just acceptance. Thanks

For canvas, that is the usual price.  If it is just a poster printed on paper, it would be significantly less.  I know because I've ordered pictures in canvas. 

Going to the final frontier, gaming...

Yeah, no dispute it's just been a long time since I bought any art work and as I get older everything seems to get more expensive. That or I am just tight ;)
Still, it gives us all a bench mark.

Possibly one of the worst pieces of "art" I've seen. Certainly from a retro gaming perspective.
What a terrible image. It looks like he's done a random Google image search and thought "that'll do".
What's with the big orange cable at the back.
He's blurred out the names of Yar's Revenge & Pac-Man but left Skiing (in the console) readable.
Skiing's a decent game but it's not an iconic title worthy of an art print.

Only my opinion of course! :)

I have to say, well I did earlier, I was not impressed when I saw it. I absolutely agree, it needs one or more titles of note like say River Raid. I just wasn't drawn in at all. However, what I've seen in this topic does draw me in and I'd love to be able to do it myself but, hay ho, you guys are the real artists.

i thought about it and by modifying my authorization software i am able to offer high quality pictures. You pay for the pic, download the image and with the sent auth key it gets personalized and able to be used. So you are free what to do or if you want acryl, poster etc.

Else the other approach is to send the image directly to next postershop of customer and directly deliver to him. But this could be complicated.

Start price of 10 eur/pic should be ok?
