Computer Section - Windows, Mac, and Linux Categories

[4tyGames]

I would love to create a standard for all of my PC games. I have saved the box art for several PC games and would definitely scan them to contribute to the project. Hopefully, we could create the standard PC cover to look like this one:




We could create a section on the navigation bar labeled computer and have Windows, Mac, and Linux categories.

Are other people interested?

Sounds good to me. I'll get it setup.

I could contribute "X-com: Terror From The Deep", that's the only PC game I have

I'm not a PC gamer, so I only have about seven PC games. I'll scan them once the section is up.

I got some box scans of pc games that I've been making into dvd covers. I've also scaned some of the stackpak case covers and made them smaller for a regular dvd case. I'll upload these if any body wants them.

I've got a stack of about 80 game boxes that I could scan (if people will make covers out of them). I would love to be able to take all my games out of my game holder and put them on a shelf in cases. Only thing that ever bothered me about that is the manuals. Perhaps a standard for game manuals should be made as well (such as most XBox games have a TOC, a page with controls, a page with credits, storyline, etc.)

I'll add pc to the upload list so we can start posting these.

Most pc manuals can fit in a dvd case. Thier are thicker ones but even these can usely fit into a stack pack dvd case. as for your box scans I could try to make case's out of them but when I use the box scans I don't use a template.

we can use a very non-intrusive labeling system for pc covers like this one

Thanks to google images I found some two pretty nice, but foreign, battlefield covers:

Looks good. Personally I like 4tyGames "template" better but this is pretty slick,too. I've uploaded 39 PC covers I found on the net to FTP. All custom made covers and mainly Doom and Quake variations. The rest is all FPS aswell but they all look absolutely great. Some of them have a constant theme for all the Quake and id software games. They have no label on the cover that indicates that they are for a specific OS, so Snowcone and I thought they'll be added to all three computer sections. But we'll see when they're actually added.

The cover shown on post #1 is the exact look for all new PC games. Today I went to the store and saw Lego Star Wars II and Call of Brothers with the exact same top bar.

[KaiserWAVE]

Haha, Ok, I didn't know that. I don't bother with PC gaming since my PC is crap, the last thing I could play on full detail was Return To Castle Wolfenstein. For everything else I wait until they port it to Xbox360
But I really like that design, it's nice and simple and it doesn't take away too much from the cover artwork.

yah thats what all 1st party ms games' covers have now

[4tyGames]

Could we add a DOS section as well? Thanks!

[Snowcone]

Sure thing.
