Sega Master System Covers

Are there any other SMS games that use this template: http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=3037

For that matter does anyone else think that template looks kinda neat?

Thats U.S Gold's retail SMS case and only their games use it.

I'd also go for the white grid lines template for my newly acquired MS games (I finally bought a Master System). Those stay close to retail which I prefer.

If you or Kaiser need any covers in particular (if Kaiser joins the Master System party that is), let me know as i have quite a few games for the system. The Blue template is just something i fancied doing after seeing a SA release in that style. 99.9 % of my games are in the good ole' white grid boxes with the multi language backs.

If you dont allready have it, try to get a MK1 MS with a card slot, and get your MD pads out cos MS pads stink...

[tiktektak]

@grum: I exactly bought that version of MS. The Master System Plus package to be precise. I only have one game for it up to now though. Rambo III.

I've actually owned a master system (sorta) since at least 1995. Grandparents kept it at their house but they gave it to me recently since I was the only one who wanted it.

What's the card slot for? A quick google search brought up that there were only a handful of games released for it. Are there any gems only released on this format that are worth getting or why are you suggesting to get one with the card slot? I am looking for a Master System MK1. But the main reason for that is that they scrapped the RGB output on the Master System II.

[Grumbleduke]

Well, as you allready know, the MK1 does RGB scart (worth having it just for that). Most of the card games were also released on cart BUT the cards are far more collectable and there aren't that many of them so its entirely possible to get them all. And if you want to get hold of the 3D glasses and carts, you need the card slot to plug them into, though they're pretty damned expensive to be fair.

The Retail E.U version.



A remixed E.U version.



A Blue Version.



Ok. I seem to remember someone requesting a MK III/Master System UGC cover template. Well this is a template that i have ammended into my allready existing one. To be honest though, there are bits i need to improve upon before it could be classed as useable. This was more of a mock up just to see how it looked AND finding MKIII/JMS scans that you can grab JP characters from is a task and a half so it probably won't get  much use. In the interest of completeness though...its going in.

good job duke, i like all the template variations 

[djshok]

That blue template is really nice.

A U.S version of the retail cover. I also made an E.U version which is similar to Lish's AU one but minus the stickers he probably could'nt get off it. Seems a waste to post a preview of it as its the same as the U.S one but with multi-language.



A re-imagining of the original E.U cover.



One that's feeling blue.

I love the alternate art youve used on your last two covers. I recognize all the simple US cover art put do you get the alternate art from PAL copies of the games?

[AppleQueso]

the alt art is from the japanese versions for the  most part (I'm fairly sure)

I wish I knew where he got his art from

Your spot on AQ, they are indeed JP versions. I grabbed them from a Brazilian site (sadly now defunct) quite some time ago with the idea of adding a JP option to my template. Problem is that although the cover art is useable, the chars etc, that i need for the template are not good enough quality. I only have a few of them unfortunatly. If you want to adapt them to your new template, let me know and i will dig out the raws.

@BadChad

T.Y . The PAL stuff is almost identicle to the U.S, just with multi-language backs. Some of the S.A cover art is interesting.. and i would LOVE to try out Street Fighter II...its a brave guy who ports that to Master System.
