Inside Covers for UGC's

[ShoothimNow]

I was just thinking from Arseen's NES manuals I have, for those who do not have / wish to buy manuals (later in life), why can't we make an inner cover that has little cheats or some kind of artwork that would make the inside of the same a little more worthwhile.  This could be as simple as going to gamefaq's and retyping the controls... I really don't know, but I felt that the general discussion thread would best suit this idea (as I am sure a lot of members have thought about this).  Again, I don't know.  I was just thinking maybe a "simplistic 2-page" version of the manual could be used as the inside of the clear UGC's to make it not seem so blindingly white.

That's actually a really good idea. I never thought about that. It doesn't sound too difficult either.

I would support it just having the controls page on the inside doesn't sound bad. Especially since it would be a lot easier than printing out the whole manual if you don't already have it.

My UGCs are frosted, but good luck I guess.

Kinda like what rental stores do/did on the back covers of the rental cases, but inside? I don't know if people would be willing to do it but it's a neat idea.

That sounds like a really cool idea. 99% of the cartridges I come by are without a manual anyway. This reminds me I still need UGC's but I definitely have no room for them whatsoever...

Inner covers are just plain cool in general, I'd support it.

yeah, a controller diagram , or a backstory page (cause old nes games always have a ridicoulus back story page)

doesnt even have to be fancy, just a simple black and white controller line art

I print out inlays on the occasion for my NES, SNES & N64 covers. Usually when i replace an old cover with a better one, a correction or in a "collection style" i just flip it inside out so i can see the old cover on the inside.

Most recently I have been printing out my alternate versions of the vertical n64 covers (ie one with a green spine and one with a different color spine and back ...zelda comes to mind) on the backside of the normal cover. That way it looks nice and uniform all line up but i have the other version of the cover on the inside.

[dejimus]

i tried doing that for a while, but my printer isnt consistent wiith its centering, so they never line up properly....

well this is an old topic, but i don't wanna start a new one, i was working on a inside tab for my nes collection tho i ended up with this test, Contra! one game we never know the story, and we look for codes and game genie codes, so this test of mine was why not put them inside. this is what i did

Actually, we have much more recent thread devoted to UGC inlays: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=7877.0 . Most of what's in there now is just artwork, but you can post informative inlays as well.

Looks good!

This whole topic can be deleted =P, it's over two years old, and the new one that is mentioned in this post is vastly superior, so Arseen / Tik / Shenske, you know what to do
