Have you considered using screenshots (e.g. from MAME) to illustrate the arcade game articles? I see for example that Pac-Man has such an image (asserting it as fair use). Might fit nicely as an illustration in your infobox. — Stormie 01:11, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)

I was thinking something like this →
That's with the image scaled down to 200 pixels wide.
I wouldn't necessarily say it would have to be a shot of the title screen—I think it would depend on the game. Especially for older games (like Pac-Man!), the title screen is nothing special, a screenshot of the game in play would be the iconic image.
