In my research, it looks like only the following 5200 games actually came with overlays:

BLUE PRINT
CENTIPEDE
COUNTERMEASURE
DEFENDER
FOOTBALL
FROGGER
GALAXIAN
GORF
KABOOM!
MISSILE COMMAND
MOUNTAIN KING
PAC-MAN
QIX
REALSPORTS BASEBALL
REALSPORTS FOOTBALL
REALSPORTS SOCCER
REALSPORTS TENNIS
RIVER RAID
SOCCER
SPACE INVADERS
SPACE SHUTTLE
STAR RAIDERS
SUPER BREAKOUT
WIZARD OF WOR

The question is, would it be worth it to try and create overlays for games that did not come with overlays or really didn't need them.

Was playing around with Shenske's 2600 template and realized how off quality the covers we do have are. Here's my attempt.

Pac-Man



Pac-Man Overlay



How's it look?

I think it looks pretty damn sweet. So would this hypothetically be the custom template for the 5200 from now on? I was getting read to do a bunch of 5200 covers...

Personally I like it, fits the 5200 real well. Question is do you line it up with the 2600 on the spine, or leave as is?

I think the 7800 may benefit from the same style as well. That or someone makes the current 7800 template as a template file rather than having to copy and paste over existing games.

Looks good. Only thing I noticed is the Atari logo is missing from the blue box on the spine like the 2600 template.

For some reason, that seemed redundant to me. If it was just the bars, that would be fine, but saying Atari twice seems over kill. But that's just me.

I did it because that's what Atari did on their international releases for the 2600

Ahh.. That makes sense. Of course I don't think the 5200 was released anywhere else but the US and Canada so I was going off of the retail packaging. But if I need to add it for consistency sake, that's fine.

Here's a more updated version.

Space Invaders



Overlay

[zakurowrath]

Is it me or does the 5200 have much better box art, I mean actual "Space Invaders" on the box. The template looks nice, hopefully all 5200 covers will be uniform soon

It's a shame we didn't get the 5200 in the EU. Love the look of this template, and definitely would like to see it expanded for the. 7800.

Something like this?

[zakurowrath]
