A new pop-up book is in the works that features paper recreations of classic Sega arcade cabinets.
Sega Arcade: Pop-Up History includes pop-up sculptures of some of the Japanese company's most famous arcade cabinets, such as Hang-On, Space Harrier, Thunder Blade, After Burner, and Out Run.

There's a Kickstarter campaign (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/darrenwall/sega-arcade-pop-up-history) running now. It asks for £40,000 and after three days it's already shot through the halfway funded mark.

After Burner was a personal favourite, although I loved Space Harrier, too. I never got the hang of Hang-On, though!
