Title: Genesis Red Stripe Spines
Post by: soundwave925 on August 01, 2012, 01:23:22 PM

I've been digging these red spine covers lately, it really makes the games look a lot more uniform but there are some games that ar'ent available. Is there anyone that would be willing to create some of these? ;D

-Ecco the Dolphin
-Castle of Illusion
-World of Illusion
-M.U.S.H.A.(this one needs a retail version as well)
-Wonder Boy in Monster World
-Phantasy Star II
-Phantasy Star III
-Shining in the Darkness
-Shining Force
-Revenge of Shinobi
-Strider

I too have been enjoying the uniformity of the spines.

oooooo thats a nice looking musha. ill be using that until someone throws up a red spine. Thanks

Yes I really wish game companies would stick to one uniform theme for their systems. Sega had a really cool thing going with the black checker look, but then all the sudden they switch to red stripes(Which I have chosen to go with). Playstation is doing the same thing! first they were doing that spider-man 3 crap, then they switch it up to that ps3 slim lettering(which I also prefer). Its like only a little while into these systems lifespans and they decide to change their freakin minds!

I'm a sucker for original cases, so I love the MUSHA cover.  I generally print the red stripes only when the original retail cover is not available.  The downside is, of course, lack of uniformity.

Unfortunately, Sega seemed to change their case art on a monthly basis.  Early games had the large "Genesis" logo, then it was shrunk and "16 bit cartridge" was added.  These logos could be found in various areas of the spine.  Then, worst of all, Sega put the UPC codes on the spines of some games.

Things were a little more uniform when they switched to the red stripe artwork, but any sizable collection of original Genesis games (like I have) has the least amount of uniformity of any console.

Of course, third parties were also free to do pretty much whatever they wanted on their cases.
