Great work on the covers. Dick Tracy looks really nice and clean.

T.Y :). Dick Tracy's cartoonish appearence made it real easy to clean up. As for different types of MD covers, i normally convert all mine to the grid format as i have lots of that type allready so they match up better. I hope to re-cover all my Master System games in the same way as the grids on those varied in size...at least on the ones i have.

I am soooo looking forward to that day - and hope that your collection matches mine.  Alot of mine are now discoloured, and the different grid sizes really annoys me.

I keep meaning to make a template and start on it - but never seem to get around to it.

I dont know about you but i think Master System covers manage to look more tatty than anything else i have in my collection....definately need some work. :)

The New Zealand Story. (J.P)



Thanks to Tik...i have re-discovered the joys of TNZS....one of the many reasons why Megadrives are a wonderful thing. Not a v.inspiring back, but a nice front makes up for it.

Definitley - Even some that were packed away in a box at my parents for years have gone brown and tatty.  I suppose it's due to it all being on a white background.....but even so.......................

Will be very happy when there's a template for original size to redo some - also need a standard DVD size one for a few sega cards that are unboxed at present.  I should stop being lazy and do it myself I guess  ;D

Yeah more Master System games covers would be nice... We only have very few....

They should be UGC though because that's our standard for old cartridge based games....

Ok, i will switch the Megadrive template around a bit so the grids match for both and se what it looks like. It would be good to have one for MD cases too as getting UGC's in the E.U is a pain, and the people i know who have MD's allways ask me to resize site covers to fit them. Could help for us Euro types... :)

Ex-Mutants (U.S)



The original version of the case remade to smarten it up a bit. Dont like it much though,specially the barcode on the spine....a triumph of design!

Ex-Mutants (U.S Custom)



Because i dont like the original cover (even the grid does'nt match E.U releases....its smaller like some Master System cases), i made this for my own use so it may as well go up to the site,if its accepted of course. ;D

I've converted a few Genesis covers to shenske's universal Sega template, here you go -

What for? We don't upload identical covers.... If it's looking better we could just replace the old one with the new one once we got more power as admins but for now it's useless....

Rastan (E.U version)



Ok...i know this is the wrong place for this really but the question of Master System covers was started here so here is one. Its more or less an identicle copy of the original resized for U.G.C and was made from a template that i have started to mess around with. The standard Master System Info is all in place but only for this type of case. There was a newer type made after the M.D was released so i want to incorperate that into the template plus all the tags etc,etc before i post it up here. I think the U.S versions are largely the same with a few copyright notices added so that should'nt be too much trouble. I want to keep this grid layout for all types though as i dont like the tighter layout that was used later on in the Master System's life and this one matches the MD grid so it should look a little better! :) Any feedback on the template idea would be nice.
(strangely, at no point on the cover does it mention Master System...and i promise i wont post M.S games in a M.D thread again) ;)

For one, my Landstalker cover is cleaner than the one currently up, and the other two are new, red box versions rather than the old black box style.

You are a god grum!!!  Exactly as I had  in mind.  And the same sentiments with regards to keeping 1 singular grid size.  The later releases also had an icon on the spine, which I'm not overly keen on (but can live with), and they also had Master System written on the spine in a HORRIBLE font, which, as you can tell, I'm also not keen on  ;D

In essence I love it - but PLEASE do a version for regular MS/MD cases too!  :)
