These are turning out fantastic!
-
Thanks!
As usual, I'm having a good time making 'em :)
-
Do you plan on sometime making a tg16 template?
-
Well, he really has no choice! Once he gets the game to test it out he'll have to make a cover! :P
-
@Wiggy, are you going to use a DVD case, 8 Disc Poly, or something completely different for your TG-16 games?
-

Yeah, pretty much this LOL!
@Wiggy, are you going to use a DVD case, 8 Disc Poly, or something completely different for your TG-16 games?
You know, I'm not really sure. I was gonna do 8-disc poly for the SEGA CD games, but now I'm thinking maybe just regular DVD, and I am honestly entirely undecided about TG-16 at the moment. The prices for TG16 games have gone through the freakin' roof, which means that I probably won't be buying a whole lot in the near future, so I may just do UGC since they won't require a large shelf at this point. Hell, maybe I'll just take do CD cases, not at all decided yet.
-
Neat! These are really cool! The only thing that bugs me personally is how the diagonal stripes meet the one-tone horizontal red stripes. It bugged me with the original Genesis covers too, so I changed it in my custom template. Other than that though, really nice covers, I especially dig the Spinball and Columns covers.
-
Thanks!
In my 1st go at it, the front and back also had the stripes. But, after printing some test pages, it just didn't work for me. Having the stripes along with the artwork just felt distracting to me. My next thought was to eliminate them altogether, but then I thought it might be nice to place them so that the pattern continues seamlessly when you place them side-by-side, and I like how that came out, so I stuck with it ;)

Wiggy, I have decided i need to make my own templates.
Any advice for making them?
-
Are you gonna use Photoshop? If not, what are you planning on using?
-
Whatever i can find that i don't need to pay for.
EDIT: I'll paint.net if i can figure it out.
-
I've never used that. Have you thought about using Gimp? It's really user friendly and surprisingly powerful for being freeware.
-

I'll second that opinion. My first 3 covers were made in GIMP... very great FREE program. Using Photoshop now, but I actually jump back and forth because a few tools are more intuitive in GIMP IMO.
-
I never figured out how to use gimp.
-
Just play around with it and look up some tutorials on youtube and whatnot. It's not too tricky at all ;)
-
Thanks!.
-
I'd love to see your take on the two X-Men games.
-
I know they have em at one of the local resale shops. May have to pick them up!
-
Use pixlr it's free, online, and it opens .PSDs, because I remember you complaining you didn't have anything that opened them.
-
These look great wiggy! Love the white on red for your # of players and ESRB ratings, and the monochromatic Spine Logos! I'm particularly a fan of the back cover of Flashback and Sonic Spinball. ;)
Great as always wiggy!
-
Thanks!
Of course those are the two pieces of art that I built completely from scratch, so I'm happy that you like em :D

Do you have them printed out and on your shelves? I know it's weird - but I get this strange high when I look at people's games cased up lol ;D
-
I know exactly what you mean. I don't think that's strange at all :)
But to answer your question, yes, of course I have em cased up!

:o
That... is glorious
-
am i the only person who hates the red/yellow/blue theme for gen/32x/scd games? the bright primary colors just look like garbage to me.
the covers do look sweet, though. a genesis library can look like total shit on a shelf with all of those different spine variations.
-
I'm drooling... :)
Seriously looks great! IF you're interested wig, I've got a few doubles of my Genesis games I wouldn't mind trading you for IF you had some duplicates you wanted to get rid of on any console (preferably SNES). From the looks of it - I've got Cyborg Justice, Desert Demolition, De-Cap Attack, and Sonic 3 (possibly others).
-
How's the move going gru3som3rick?

You know, I wasn't too crazy about a brightly colored spine before starting on the Genesis stuff. I started off with a medium/dark gray, but I figured, fuck it, I've got enough black and white spine templates already. Time for something different ;D

Oooooh, Decap-Attack! I'd be totally down for that and Cyborg Justice. Can't remember Desert Demolition at the moment.
I don't have much in the way of dupes, and the ones that I do are Genesis at the moment. I had some N64 dupes (nothing special), but I gave them to my neighbor across the street not long ago. I do have some random other things that I'm looking to get rid of. I was actually gonna post a thread at some point today :)
-
How's the move going gru3som3rick?
It's going, that's for sure :). Still in the middle of unpacking everything - things are pretty hectic still.

Just about to start scanning marathon of few cases and eventually buttload of manuals.

This may be a nit-pick, but shouldn't the controller logo on Eternal Champions have six buttons?
-
You should start a new thread for a couple of these this is to much wiggy jammed in one wiggy place lol. I cant keep track of your projects easy enough XD
-

I thought about dong a 6 button icon for that and other 6 button games, but it didn't seem worth the effort to be honest. It's not as though I need the cover to tell me that I need a 6 button controller. I know that already, so it would only be to make it more retail accurate, and the retail packaging doesnt even use a # of players icon like that anyway :P
But I can totally understand why you would want it to be that way. If I didn't have to make another icon from scratch, then I would have made the 6 button games with a 6 button icon.

Make master topic that has links to your other topics with clear explanation of each topic.
Lock it so nobody posts there (except mods and admins, you can't stop us).
Then put link to the topic to your signature.

I thought about doing that, but thought it might be a bit strange to do so. If its cool with you, then that's what I'll do! Thanks!
Also, is it just me or did another star appear infer my name after 2K posts? Do those just keep adding up after every XXX posts? I wanna go for 10 stars :P.

Yep, and 9 stars is @2500, and you'll never get ten stars as there isn't ten star rank...

Yeah, I'll keep it clean. I mean, it'll just be links to other threads. I promise not to post GCW scans or anything like that :P
Damn, no 10?! Bummer.

I just meant ell organized.
And if you read the blue text I voted that the cover is yours as you redid it pretty much completely.
Damn, no 10?! Bummer.
Notice the ...
There isn't 10 yellow star rank @ 3000 posts, but ...
And no higher ones exsist beyond the Omega (lvl 10).
And don't start posting wildly to reach 3000.
Only one member has survived the over 20 posts a day speed WITHOUT GETTING BANNED.
Even he barely survived (quess he was somewhat useful so they spared him), and has since slowed down.
The member currently at posting lead 5800 posts. ;D

You know, I never even saw that the first post had been updated LOL! I've been planning on creating an epic Earthbound cover of my own ever since using ALL new art and a template created just for it ;D
Thanks for the support BTW :)
So 3K posts nets me Omega status? Well, at least there's a goal now :P
Congrats on 5800 posts! It makes me feel better that I'm not the only forum whore ;)

Looking at statistics: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?action=stats
You're on the fifth, place, almost on the fourth place on the post count.
[START OF BRAGGING]
I still am:
Top 1 Poster (my actual count would be probably 6400+ but some have been deleted)
Top 1 Topic Starter (20 or so deleted)
Top 1 Most Time Online (Hard to increase this, altought I'm online almost all the time.).
With clear margins
[END OF BRAGGING]
But one thing I give you:
If I'm not mistaken your posts per day ratio is the highest of all and ever. :D
I think it was 14PPD at highest and about 9PPD at lowest.
Mine has never been over 3 I think.
And that was not a challenge 8) so don't go hay wire.
We can see if your PPD counts starts going up.

I honestly don't think I could post more even if I wanted to. I already spend WAY too much time here. It definitely keeps me from getting work done. I think I just spent the last hour and a half dicking around in here. I gotta go get some stuff done...

Looks amazing man! I love the covers, great art style! I hoping you post more 32x games... I think theres only 30 some in the complete set. Perhaps someday you'll have them all made up... I know I'd download them in a second.
Let me ask you about 32x games and the universal cases. Do 32x games fit in there snug or will they fall out of the case if it's held upside down? If they don't fit snug I may try to track down some other type of case for those. :P

Thank you! I'd love to grab some more 32X stuff, but there's almost nothing available locally, and that's how I do a good chunk of my game buying. I know I'll eventually pick up some more as well as some CD titles, but they aren't at the top of my list at the moment.
They actually don't fit at all without a little modding. But they fit really tight if you trim just the right amount. It doesn't take much work at all, unlike NES games, so don't feel discouraged about tryi g to tackle the mod ;)

Thanks for the responce Wiggy. I shall give those Universal Game Cases a try then. I'm working towards a complete 32x set (I'm about 10 games in) and I've been trying to figure out what the best way to go. I heard Sega Master System cases fit 32x pretty well, but the thought of tracking down 30 some Sega Master System cases doesn't seem very fun. Plus I'd probably have to turn all those SMS games into orphans, I'd be stuck selling just the game and inserts which is kind of odd. Or I could throw away the insert, but the collector and me couldn't do that. :P So I think those Universal Game Cases sounds good.

I've found that UGC's are good for 32X games. While the cartridges may not "snap" in, they do fit pretty snugly without any trimming of the case interior.
It's too bad there's no way to track down Acclaim's 32X clamshell cases in bulk. I think they were the only company to produce special plastic cases for their 32X games. I have NBA Jam:TE, and the case is so nice - the cartridge locks into place just like regular Genesis games do.
32X games do fit pretty nicely into Master System boxes too, so if you can track down some cheap SMS boxed games, that's also a good solution.

Let me ask you about 32x games and the universal cases. Do 32x games fit in there snug or will they fall out of the case if it's held upside down? If they don't fit snug I may try to track down some other type of case for those. :P
Actually if you have the older UGC cases (the less shiny ones) the 32X carts fit in perfectly (better than any other cart actually). Like so:

With the new cases that are available for sale now though, you might have to trim the insides just a little like Wiggy said, but after that it should be a perfect fit just like before. (Unlike the Genesis games which just don't sit in there at all lol).

I don't have any experience with the old cases, but the new ones seem to hold my Genesis games just fine. Sure, they rattle around a bit, but so do the SNES games in my experience, and they definitely NEVER fall out of their spot and end up at the bottom of the case as others have described. This seems to be the best change to the cases in their current revision. I just did a little "shake test" with a Genesis and SNES cart in UGCs. While the Genny cart DOES move around more than the SNES cart, it didn't move from its spot at all.

-
Yeah with the old UGCs the Genesis carts just fell right through to the bottom, but the 32X carts fit perfectly. The new ones have the little dividers are little closer I guess.
-
I have found that 32x games fit well in some EA Genesis cases. The ones with the extra tabs for a standard Genesis cart. It takes a little persuasion to get it in at first but once it's in it is real snug.
(http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a603/5potatoes/2012-11-14010239.jpg)
-
Yeah, they'll also fit into most SMS cases with some persuasion, although the manual won't because SMS had smaller manuals.
-
Ive been using EA cases for my 32x game too. Just a couple cuts and its good to go.
-
I like these particular cases because there is no cutting required, and honestly once you get them in there once they snap in without any real effort after that. I also used this for my Sonic and Knuckles, after a tiny bit of cutting.
-
Thanks Wiggy, I used your covers for these games:

I added text on the spine so that it would work for those repos. I think it turned out good. :)

Nice!

I just bought NFL QB Club 96 for the Genesis for 99 cents at goodwill. The case holds a 32X game nearly perfectly. I know Acclaim was the only company to make dedicated 32X clamshell cases, but this is a regular Genesis game. The notches on the top and bottom of the case bow out slightly when a 32X game is inserted, but it still fits quite nicely, while a regular Genesis game is secure, but just a little loose. The NFL QB Club game that came in the case is a standard size cartridge.
It seems like Acclaim made a hybrid case late in the 16 bit era that would fit both regular and 32X games, while not being dedicated completely to either. This hybrid case is noticeably different from the dedicated 32X case than my NBA Jam TE came in.
I guess I'm going to have to keep my eyes open for more of these. I always buy cheap complete Genesis games just for the cases, but now I know that there are some that are more versatile than I thought.

Hey Wiggy, are you gonna keep going with these? I like them much more than the other Genesis customs. Streets of Rage? Road Rash? Castlevania? Contra?
Let me know if you need some scans.
-
I sure am! I just picked up a big ol' pile of Genesis games a few weeks ago actually. Just been really, REALLY busy with the Rose Colored stuff lately.
-
Makes sense.
The site looks great by the way! I'm interested in a few of your projects.
-
Thanks!
It's a lot better now thanks to a ton of help from fellow TCPer TyrannicalFascist :D
-
I love these Wiggy... The only thing is that I have a God damned PAL console! Definitely the type of thing I'm looking for, for my template.
I think you should definitely do one in the same style but in blue with Mega Drive instead *shady eyes*
You should definitely do it o.o *jedi mind trick*.
LOL! Nice job though man!
-
I actually do have a MD template (albeit JP, not PAL/EU).
(http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k99/wiggyx/Game%20Stuff/megadrive-template-v2.png~original)
I can tweak it though if you like.
-
Wiggy, will you be continuing these Genesis covers? I'd love to switch over to them, but your missing a few of my big titles. (Castlevania, Contra, SoR, Road Rash)

If I'm honest, the Genesis template is closer to what I have in mind. There's not a huge the difference, between your Genesis cover and what I envision in my head. It's basically the blue mega drive cover color scheme, but done in the same style as your Genesis template, with the Megadrive logo instead of the Genesis logo.

Yup! I've got like 20 Genesis games here that need covers, but I've just been too swamped to get around to 'em (not to mentnion the 40+ SNES, 25+ NES games, and a ton of portable games too).

That's pretty much what my current MD template is, just different colors and no barber pole stripes. You just want the Genesis template with blue and the MD logo? That's no prob if so.
edit: like this?

Man, photobucket KILLED the colors. They're like freakin neon blue :(
-
Yea, but with the PAL Megadrive Logo. I'm actually working on the color scheme and template I actually mean. If you want, I can crack this out, throw it on mediafire, then you can download it and wiggy-fy it? Then I'll let you decide which color looks best. The color scheme I'm using is slightly faded/washed-out looking, while yours is bright (nothing wrong with that. I like both very much!). I'll finish this and let you have a look. If your up to it, make samples of both. When you get a chance, PM me a link to the logo's you are using, because their fucking banging!
-
Mine is using desaturated blues too, photobucket just murdered the colors for some reason (I think it automatically converts CMYK files to RGB, and poorly at that). Do it up and post a preview. I'll get it all wiggled when you do.
I have a link to some of my vector logos in my box acct. I don't think the MD and other Sega stuff is in there. I'll put a package file together and up it. I build all my logos in vector format for teh ultimate cleanness ;)
-
Just finished it now... I know! I'm still slow at making covers/templates... LOL. I fear that I shall never be much more than an "alright cover editor". LOL.
It's uploading now. I might do another one, a black and grey one, for the first line of Megadrive games. I tend to organise my games by the first batch of releases, second batch of releases, greatest hits, then alphabetically. So for example with my PS3 games, red labels come first, then black, then platinum, then special/collectors editions... I know...

I'll check it when I'm back at my 'puter since my phone won't let me preview stuff on mediafire.

oooo sonic and knuckles would be great as well.
Thanks for your great work.

Hey wiggy.
long time fan of your work, been hoping to get on your list to get a NES style GBmicro since last year. been buying up old systems waiting for your pre orders to open up (GBA, NOMAD).
I had a request and figured here was better than Instagram.
I love your Earthworm Jim covers for the SNES and was wondering if you get a chance could you transpose them onto a genesis cover? I'd be incredibly grateful.
I have so many games that i had not planned to buy because of your awesome covers.
Thanks
EDIT: I just got a copy of "super mario all stars + super mario world". love your original SMAS cover. is there a SMAS+SMW version floating around somewhere?
Thanks again
-
Hey wiggy, any chance for new uploads? I really like this style for Genesis.
Thank You
