can you make a cover for "diner"for the intv?

Hmmm, I'm not sure i have it but I will look tomorrow. If not,  I would need the raws and you would need to wait until thurdsay for me to do it. (if you upload the raws that is)

Great Intellivision covers!

I have a bunch of Atari 2600 games, and they would fit nicely in the universal media cases by just shaving off just a few centimeters from the plastic in the case.  They also would fit without any modding, it's just that they would rattle around in the case.  If there is anyone else out there who wants to do this with 2600 games, there is a website called www.atariage.com that has box scans for tons of games.  The quality of the boxes greatly vary, but most of them are decent and have front and back scans.  I am not too sure what the dpi of the images are though, so I am not sure if they would work.  But, if they do it could be a great shortcut for Atari 2600 covers.

The Atari stuff is a must do.  I have completed an atari 7800 and atari 2600 template and tested using the atari age scans.  My hope was that someone would upload 300DPI scans as the atari ones are either 72dpi or something less than 150dpi anyhow.  We shall see.  Time is difficult ot find.  Now ...back to that all night study on my assignment due tomorrow...8000 words done, only 7000 to go. Why am I here, I should be doing that assignment duh.

As for Atari I just got my first games for my new baby... So I thought I'd share the covers for it...

It's Ataris last console effort.... The Atari Jaguar....

My first box(sized for UGCs because the carts fit perfectly):

I uploaded it as a Sega32X game because the Jaguar was a little bit like it(no success...  ) but nonetheless a system with some great games.... and many not so great....

Maybe we could open a new section just named atari for all the atari stuff....? Or a jaguar section?

Another Atari Jaguar game:

It's the first cover were I had to completely rebuild the front from scratch because it's colors were completely washed out.... The only problem left were the black/black differences.... But I suppose you won't see it that bad when printed out.... I hope so to say the least....

Again I uploaded it as a Sega32X game.....

I've created a 32X Template,kinda rough and needs some polishing,a definite work in progress but I've been inspired by all the great covers I've seen on this site.Now I just need to work on a ColecoVision Template for all my loose carts...

[Lish]

OK,  I have'nt been doing too much lately...been busy with my MBA.  I have a marketing management exam on tuesday, but after that I'll get stuck into finishing off the 20 or so intellivision titles that are left (sebs and mine...unless more raws get uploaded).

Then I'll finish of the atari XE collection (I was going to give up but then I realised that not all atari XE carts are the shape of the Aussie ones.  The Euro ones fit in the UGC's...and the UGC sleeves almost fit perfectly in the wide DVD cases that do take the Aussie XE carts)

Nice to hear! I'm looking forward to the intv and xe stuff.... I will make those covers available as soon as they're uploaded....

Good luck with your exam!

Well, I've just completed 'bowling' for the INTV.  I'll make an effort to clear the backlog now that Seb is diligently posting them up as soon as they can be uploaded.

Do we have any cover artists here (besides Lish, who I assume would be interested) who would be interested in working on Intellivision covers if I could round up enough people to scan the original boxes in?

Second, I see the current Intellivision covers are made to fit the Universal Media Cases... Which, I don't believe, will fit most Intellivision games snugly.  Any ideas on a better case, or is the UMC pretty much it?

[tiktektak]

As I remember when lish started the idea of making covers for intv he tried to piut the carts in different cases and decided that the UMCs would be the best... I think he stated that only EU carts have problems in the cases and US ones fit or something like that...

Just do a forum search there should be a thread somewhere....

[UncleBob]

I sent Lish a message asking for him to express interest in this thread.  Hopefully, he'll stop by and chime in...

I may be wrong, but I don't think he's been here for a while. If you're nosy as to why:


SPOILER

Family.

[UncleBob]

Yeah... no hurry though. It's been, what, 27+ Years on some of these games anyway.

[Grumbleduke]

Well...i have been working on a template for intv on and off for a while.Its based on Lish's UGC designs but ive had a bit of a job trying to match the font he used for the game name on the spine.As Lish has done quite a few allready,and as its pretty important that the spines all match,i was going to wait till he comes around again and answers a p.m i sent him.
However as we dont know when this will be,i posted this as its about as close a match as i could get.See what you think Bob.
