Man that brings back memories. My grandparents have a green tabletop game of Popeye, use to play that for hours!

If we had some decent rez scans they could possibly be used as guidelines and recreated. We do have some very creative people here :)

*points* Yeah, namely you!! :D

Haha, well, if no further developments happen in this thread by the time I start buying myself some boxed G&W systems, then I'll make a thread and make sure the creative big-wigs hear about it. I'll probably start off with Club Nintendo's re-release of their "Ball" machine, simply because those boxes will definitely be the easiest/cheapest to find in mint condition for scans, plus I'm certain it will fit in a UGC. After that, I'm likely to hunt down the old Zelda, hopefully boxed. (After seeing what irvgotti did to the Flintstones box, I'm not too worried about condition. ;D )

After those two boxes, we may have some sort of inspiration to get started on a good template, or maybe it will just take Ball. The boxes I've seen were all relatively simple, minimalistic even, but again, I haven't seen many boxes, so I may be wrong. I think a real simple template would do just fine. Maybe for the spine, have that square Game & Watch logo at the top, the Nintendo logo at the bottom, and the title of the game in that old G&W font in the center. Something real simple like that. Unless you guys already have great, over-the-top ideas. :P

Well, as I told you before, I haven't got my Zelda G&W in its box, so taking into account the idea of this site and the original design of the first G&W boxes:

I decided to try to make my own box (and by the way start learning a bit of AutoCAD and Photoshop ;D). For the moment, I have just done the Multiscreen G&W console in AutoCAD. Don't know if this would be useful for somebody.

If you really want to track down most or all G & W boxed complete I hope you got really really deep pockets. Some of these games are insanely rare complete. For example there is 1 complete(or mostly complete) Crystal Screen Super Mario Bros on Ebay at the moment. For a whopping 776 dollars... *ugh*
