strangely front and back are the same - with just a little text on (i assume) the back

Conceived and Designed
By
Video Game Industries Corp.
In cooperation
with
Spectravideo

[sheep2001]

some of the front images could use some TLC before being dropped into the template - i just checked over Bumper Bash,  lots of scratches, and dust - and the colours need some help as they were scanned from a foil original.

Just had a quick go at fixing it to show what i mean:
Original


Quick Fix


Still not right, needs quite a bit of TLC,  but just wanted to highlight what I mean.

No problem - keep up the enthusiasm and good work.  Don't let the quality slip  

Whats your next project?

[1980coelho]

doing now 3 games from Telegames .. after them do not know yet ..

[sheep2001]

I only did the ones I had requests for.  Without decent scans, they are never going to be site worthy, so I didn't carry on.

Feel free to complete the sets if you wish.

Do you own all of the carts?  Or you just like to collect the covers?

[jal4u2c70]

Very cool! I own a bunch of the carts but am switching to emulation as well. I recently picked up the 5200 Flash cart and it works great! Next i want to get the Nintendo flash carts as well. But i do want all the covers so i can add them to the SD card with the games. Does anyone make an Atari 2600 flash cart? Or an Atari 7800 flash cart? I'm still needing lots of 2600 and 7800 covers though. It's good to see some love for the old games!

Does anyone make an Atari 2600 flash cart? Or an Atari 7800 flash cart?

For the 2600 there's the Harmony cart which is fantastic; I own one and it plays pretty much everything. There's no flash cart currently being made for the 7800 though there's one planned (the Harmony 2). Ten years ago there was the Cuttle Cart 2 but those haven't been made in forever and they sell for $300+ these days.

[jal4u2c70]

I will have to check out the Harmony cart. Yeah, i remember the Cuttle Cart but that is out of my price range and a little dated as well. I like the newer style flash carts. I used to have the 5200 multicart that Sean Kelly made but it just up and died on me and he couldn't get it working again. That's why i got the new 5200 flash cart. The cart itself has a lifetime warranty and i can add or delete ROMS anytime i want. Thanks for the info! Ok now, bring n the covers!

This is still a work-in-progress, but I thought I'd share it anyway. I couldn't find a good scan of this cover anywhere, so unfortunately the screenshots and joysticks need a lot of work.

images, screenshot and logos are with the very low quality .. sends the file source to tidy their quality ..
