Sega Master System Covers

[Zelimpdna]

It looks good.

95% of my Master System games still have their original cases, though, so using this cover for the 5% I need to print covers for would look a bit odd.

If I didn't have those original cases though, I'd use these. I like the uniformity with the MD games, and even the blue Dreamcast covers, and the white does look a bit boring.

White is definantly boring, though I dont like how much space "Master System" takes up.  Would rather have more space with the game logo instead of the system.  Otherwise, I like

I only have 1 unboxed Master System game now so i would'nt be re-covering all of mine with this template either. Mind you, i think MS cases allways look tatty myself. Some titles in bold, some not, some SEGA logo's in different shades of blue and different positions on the spine, grid sizes varying and some with pictures. Not to mention third party stuff. I printed one of these out re-sized for a MS/MD case and it looked ok, especially when mixed with MD cases. No, this would be useful for someone who either only has a couple of titles or is just starting out collecting the much maligned MS i think. As for the MASTER SYSTEM logo's on it, they where taken from the South American cover directly, as in their proportions and position. Thanks for the feedback guys, much appreciated.

Wolfchild (PAL/E.U)



I have allways enjoyed a game of Wolfchild (especially the Amiga version). The MS one is a little weak in the sound department but then so are nearly all MS games. I think the machine had all but disapeared from the U.S and Japan by this stage so this was E.U only release(possible South America too). Cant say as i like Virgin's choice of cover art much though. Im working on a 'Bluey' also.

Wolfchild in a Bluey.

grum - i am REALLY liking these 'blueys' - just got too many 'whiteys' to warrant a switch - also a real shame sega didn't come up with a better logo for the console.

[Grumbleduke]

Hehe...yup, they really pushed the boat out with the logo for MS. I agree about the 'whiteys' though, looking at about a hundred or so MS games to re-cover makes me shudder. BUT i printed out the two that i was missing and they looked mighty nice by comparison.(not blowing my own trumpet here  ).

Here's a mixed pic of MD, MS and a bluey and a pic of a whole pile of blueys.

I love your "Donald Duck" Spine that has a thumbnail picture of the game.  I know I am being picky, but if the Donald Duck Case was just colored blue, I'm sure I would download and print them out right now

Love the blue template. Not sure if I've ever disliked the design for any games packaging as much as those white and grey MS boxes - boring and extremely unappealing, and largely inconsistent, too - but with that template of yours they look pretty good! Granted, any cover is going to look pretty hopeless if it's using "Alex Kidd in Miracle World" or "Black Belt" style artwork, but at least later games have some decent cover illustrations to go with that template. I don't collect MS games, but I'd love to see many more covers in this style just for the aesthetic quality.

you're kidding?  i love the old style cases - started a project to turn all my MS cases into the old skool style (with grum's help) - but as usual I got sidetracked by something else.

@ Shoothimnow

I would agree that the Donald thumbnail is quite effective but then if you look at the official Wolfchild cover, the thumb on that is not so good and that about sums up MS cases.....inconsistent. i might have a crack at putting a thumb on the blue cover though, see how it turns out.

@ Jigsaw

Now i was ok with those minimal covers and if they had just stuck to that type, all would have been well. Mind you, if you see the JP Mark III versions of say 'The Ninja' for instance, then they look rather dull. But then 90% of the JP art is better on all formats IMHO. Thanks for feedback guys...more stuff coming.

Spider-Man (PAL/E.U/Custom)



Spidey goes blue.

Alien Storm (PAL/E.U/Custom)



Original cover expanded to fit front with a new logo. The MS version of this is somewhat lacking. Mostly in a 2 player mode and a character!

[BadChad]

Like most MS ports. Golden Axe suffered pretty bad aswell...

[Grumbleduke]

True.
