Title: *SNES Request*
Post by: Yoshi Egg on January 15, 2018, 04:08:54 AM

Hi, hope I have done this correctly. ???

I'm looking for the retail cover of Pac In Time for the SNES but European PAL Version.

Thanks in advance  ;D

I was going to try and put something together for you using the US version I created as a basis, but unfortunately the cover art is completely different. If you happen to come across raw scans of the PAL box let me know!

Hi yeah. The front cover is completely different. I have no idea why they did this for different regions.Ide love to know the reason why.  The back of the box is also strange as it has no screenshots at all. I've never came across this before.

Im going keep looking on ebay see if I can find a cheap box, but the CIB is quite expensive around £50

The eu artwork is the same as the jpn art, but cropped slightly different.  might be able to rebuild the pal version from a jpn scan.

Ah right, cool. There is hope then  :D

Ide still love to know the reason why they thought they needed to change the artwork, on most boxes between regions. I cant see why they thought they needed to do this. Just like the American redesign of the SNES, which I think look ugly as hell. The extra time and money that must have been spent, must have been crazy. You cant tell me that Americans would not have bought a SNES just because of the design. Ide loved to have been a fly on the wall at the time and hear the reasons for the changes.

rebuilt with a jpn scan, and a low quality pal scan.

Not perfect, but it should do the trick
