Hey there everybody!

I noticed that there is no game case art for these cartridges on your site, and because they fit almost perfectly inside UGC and I have lots of these games, I wanted to do some by myself.

I don't have any other program to work with these than MS Paint at the moment, so feel free to make them better if you like :) I have some more covers for Vic-20 games that I don't own yet so I have not finished them, but I will when I have the time.

When you print them with MS Paint, make all borders "0" and scale picture down to 81%. Let me know what do you think about them :D

Here is a link to Photo Bucket:

Paint.net is free program that handles these better than MS Paint.

It also let's you save the stuff at 30DPI.
96 DPI is just too low to keep small text readable.

No perskules :D Täytyypä hakea tuo Paint.net ja hioa näitä vielä. Tosin koko homma täytyy aloittaa alusta koska itse en huomaa pinintäkään eroa paintissä tekemissäni ja photobuckettiin lataamieni kuvien välillä :-/ omassa hyllyssäni nämä versiot välttävät, mutta onko tämmöisille (siis VIC-20 kansille) kysyntää täällä?

Juu kaikkien koneiden kannet on erittäin kysyttyjä.

96DPI teksti on vielä joten kuten luettavaa, mutta 300DPI on paljon parempi.
Kansikuvissa eron huomaa.

Sitäpaitsi allee 300DPI tavara ei pääse sivustolle, niin sanoo kaikkivaltias Snowcone.

But let's stick to English so more than 5 people will understand. ;)

That's a really nice template you've knocked up.

Thank you for the nice words :D I have tried to make em as close as possible to retail, but because original cardboard boxes are more like sega saturn case size, I had to cut little from the top. For the front it did not give any trouble, but back...anyway, now I only have to make them higher quality so more people can enjoy them :D

Better attitude :D

Course I'm 90% sure I have Gorf on the VIC-20, I generally pick up and Gorf or Demon Attack carts for any system if they're not too much over fair market value.

If 96 DPI is terrible, good God I don't want to know what 30 DPI would look like.  Real Life 8-bit  ;)
