REQUEST: Donkey Kong Country: Blockbuster World Video Game Championship II

[noemann]

Yeah separate definitely.

Too bad the text is unreadble on that image.

I have a copy of the magazine and it looks like it is alot of text and images from this magazine.
I cannot read the text either but it really looks like the ads in the magazine (which span across 8 pages throughout the magazine.)
I'll slap together some images and sketches and we'll discuss it this weekend or early part of next week (whenever you have free time to do so.)

[Arseen]

I have plenty of free time from Saturday afternoon until Monday evening = illegal to drive drunk you know..

[noemann]

okay. I will work on it now and more this weekend.
logging off for now.
type to you later...

[Arseen]

Yeah good night.

[sheep2001]

Here you go - there was 1 word i couldn't read - replaced with ?.  Also, the postcode in new jersey in section 1 may not be correct.

Other than that - does it REALLY say (3rd line from the bottom) that Sega is a trademark of Nintendo of America?!!??!?!

Excellent work Sheep! Thank You very much.
I believe that the text in question is Rambi. Thus, "Donkey Kong and Rambi characters"

You did a great job with this text.

One more request: I am assuming that we are making this for printing. I could some tips about sizing. At this point, I could crop the image as exact as possible, then make it three times larger but would that be okay? Any ideas about dimensions? The pamphlet looks like a standard-sized brochure but will that fit into a UGC box?

Rambi is what I saw too.

[noemann]

Other than that - does it REALLY say (3rd line from the bottom) that Sega is a trademark of Nintendo of America?!!??!?!

I was just discussing this with my Fiancee. What? Sega mark owned by Nintendo? Doh!
You typed it correctly so i am stumped.

[Arseen]

I think it says ® SEGA. ® is a trademark of Nintendo of America.

I meant they just list all registered trademark holders (one being Sega another being Nintendo.)

[Arseen]

Measuring from the screen the pampflet is made smaller than than the height of the insert = it has been made to fit the UGC.

For sizing make the manual in SNES manual size but leave enough white to the edges so it can be also cut bit smaller so it fits UGC.

I believe that they are trying to convey that NBA Jam T.E. is from Sega of America, Inc. It should read "all other registered trademarks" are property of Nintendo. Instead, they type in such a manner that they are implying that Sega is property of Nintendo. Very confusing. I had to read it several times to try to understand it.

I just cropped it as close to the priginal as possible, then multiplied by 3 to increase the size of the repro. Printing should not be a problem.

I will leave space for the manual. I want to make a prototype this weekend. I am too tired to work on manual today. I will work on the Official Stuff a little more.

Hello friends, I've been distracted with a medical emergency since Friday and I've just now had a chance to relax. All is well but I am tired and I am not able to work on this project just now. I did look at the text and I made some corrections. I just typed all of the text on the back but I need rest. I'll see what I can do this week. I still need a few days to rest and relax.

Perhaps I can get some opinions as to accuracy. I've added Rambi and corrected some typos.
I added stipulation (a) as only (b) was typed.

changed Participants prize (Including cards) to Participation prize (trading cards)
I have a magazine with some of the text and this line is in the ad.
Apparently Marvel Fleer trading cards was a prize.

changed the address  zip code (also in the magazine.)

let me know...

[Arseen]

Glad all is good.

My friday was off the charts.

Only 2 people in whole town got Guinness Saint Patrick's day hats, and I was one.

We met minor movie star.

We partied until bars closed.

I was somewhat wasted.

Still no hangover.

I'm 99.99% sure that it's ® not © by the SEGA.
