Title: Atari 2600 Sears request
Post by: severcool on May 19, 2016, 07:04:28 PM

I've been trying to complete my collection of the Sears Tele-Games games on the Atari 2600.  I usually use atariage.com for box scans to make covers.  (My covers look like crap, but they're good enough for me.)  If atariage doesn't have a scan, I try atarimania.com.  NEITHER of these sites have a scan for the game and I can't seem to find anything anywhere.  I do already have the Atari release of the same game, but I'm trying to get a cover made of the Sears version.  There's just something about those black covers that I like.  The first link is a screenshot of someone's collection (not really a scan though).  The second link is to the box scans of the Atari release.  I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me out - even if it's just a rough sketch to get me started.  I frankly don't have the skills to make a cover from scratch.

I'm working on trying to acquire all of the sears releases, I do not have Math Gran Prix (which I think is what you are looking for), but if you check out my Raw Scans thread (link in my signature) I have  a decent amount of them.

Crap.  Yeah, I guess it would help if I put the title in the request.  It's Math Gran Prix.  Thanks.

Nah I haven't been able to find one.  I had to sign up for Twitter to contact that guy you mentioned.  I don't know anything about Twitter, so who knows if I messaged him right.  I think he's the guy that's on some of Metal Jesus' youtube videos.
