Request - Atari 2600 - Convert Existing Covers to Different Style
TDIRunner:
I’ve managed to find covers for all of my Atari 2600 games. However, I like to have all of my spines for any given console match and a few of my 2600 covers are not available in that style. Would anyone be willing to covert these covers into the style I prefer?
Here is an example of the style that I like:

Here is a list of the covers that I can’t find in that style:
Hosted on this site:
• Robot Tank
• Outlaw
• Vanguard
• Commando Raid
Not hosted on this site, but available in the forums:
• Bugs
• Pole Position
• Cosmic Arc
• Kool-Aid Man
• Donkey Kong Junior
• Real Sports Baseball
To make it easier, I’ve put copies of the covers not hosted on this site in a folder in my MediaFire account. These are NOT my covers. I’m only putting these here to consolidate the covers that I’m looking for. If anyone has a problem with me keeping their covers in my MediaFire account, I will remove them immediately.

I appreciate anyone’s help.

One thing I can't do is transpose covers into a style they don't belong in, like Activision into Atari Silver. Drives me crazy.
They might not be uniform, but when you get multiples of the same company's boxes next to each other, Atari titles look pretty awesome.

I get what you're saying, but my entire 2600 collection is the same style except for the 9 I listed. Out of those 9, only two of those are matching styles. So for me, they don't look that good next to each other and it makes me feel the same way you do.
For what it's worth, I really only care about the spine. The front can by any style at all. I know that probably doesn't help since you would end up with an Activision front with an Atari silver spine which would probably drive you even more crazy. But I thought I would mention it.
For the record, just because the spine doesn't match, doesn't mean the covers aren't really well done. I appreicate the people who made the covers and I would rather have a non-matching cover, then no cover at all. One of these days I'm going to try to get my self familiar with Photoshop. Maybe I can make my own some day...
