If you stare at a bezel for a few days, you start to notice things. The first thing I noticed was an odd slot in the bezel which after some research I discovered was where the actual ripcord handle was located. I can't think of any other game that has controls on both the control panel and the bezel. To get the full experience, I found a photo of a similar handle and incorporated it into the artwork (it's on a separate layer, so if you don't like it, go to Video Options and turn off CPANEL).
The second thing I noticed was the artist's name (Gary Johnson). It was very unusual back in the day for artists or programmers to get any kind of credit for their work so this is kind of cool. I looked Gary up on the internet and found his Linkedin page. After 25 years in video games and animation, he's currently working at Trader Joe's. Yeah, not everybody in silicon valley retires a millionaire.

Here's the zip file. It would be even cooler if the handle moved up and down when the MAME button is pressed. If anyone knows how to do that, please let me know.

Can't check the file right now, but assuming you made the handle a separate PNG, yes, it's possible. Sorta.

RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.

Yes, Gary tagged Exidy Star Fire as well.
Good for him to leave his name on his work.
As you say, most of the artist didn't.

I figured it out. Here's the updated artwork with moving handle when ripcord (button 2) is pressed.

This is the best I've got. The top is the control panel for Exidy's Circus. Ripcord (bottom) is virtually the same except for an extra button and different text.
