An unhappy Virtua Fighter 2 gets a quick fix. We're still working on recreating the original artwork precisely, but in the meantime we've used an alternative CP design to make the cabinet more inviting to play for visitors. Great job Dan!

Thank you to everyone who bought the bundle. You’ve raised a huge £35,490

£25k was matched by a kind sponsor giving the workshop, inventory and archive project a budget of £60,490

This is more than we could have ever imagined, and plans will be scaled up and shared soon.
