The Arcade Flyer Archive is a digital repository for video game, pinball and arcade & amusement advertisement flyers that are used by the coin operated amusement industry to promote the sales of their games. These flyers capture screenshots, cabinet designs, descriptions of game play and attractive artwork. While flyers are still being used today, over time, they represent much more than a promotion of the products. They are unique documents that reflect an industry that is now over seventy years old, They capture coin-op game history, advertising history, and prove to be an effective research tool for collectors who seek to restore games and machines to their original factory specifications. Most importantly, arcade flyers capture the priceless nostalgia of the millions of people who were taken in by the culture of video games, pinball machines and other arcade games. TAFA is also the home to Mame Flyerpacks, which are the video game flyer images that go with selected Mame front end applications.
