Maybe I missed something here. Are you asking if that's what this is? It looks like it may be, but I don't *think* it's original (someone help me out here). If memory serves, I don't remembar the last CC I saw looking like that. (Of course, that was oh, about 1986 or so...).

It's just the rejected sideart, or the sideart on the prototype machine.
Not great, but still worth something simply because it's never-before-seen atari

Here's the real thing. (Not my machine - it's the best picture I could find)

And what a fine example that is! I've never seen side art that makes me want to buy a game like that.
Wow, that's really cool! I see why they changed to the other artwork, but it's still interesting.

Crystal Castles is one of the most aesthetically appealing arcades from the whole "golden era". It stands up there with Xevious and Tron in the pure awesome factor.
The original side art, while cool, is quite bad. The arcade is absolutely stunning as is.
