New Genesis/Mega Drive covers....

[PDDestro]

Shenske, when are you going to post the updated Sega template with the darker spine stripes?

Its up right now, the template has been replaced 

Thank you, the old template sometimes didn't print out right and the spines would look solid red from afar...

Thats why i updated the template. I was really disappointed when i got my genesis covers printed with the old red spine and it was one solid red color. On screen colors and colors actually printed out can differ greatly.

Aw come on do we really have to replace all the covers now just because of slightly altered stripe colors? ? ? ?

Well while its not necessary to replace all of the current colors but if we want the red colors on the spine to be separated then we should examine at least adding alternates of the existing covers with the new colors.

This seems really odd coming from you for some reason.

Yeah I know. It's just that I often alter covers slightly prior to uploading (additional cleaning, color correction, etc.) and I would have to do this again to all covers which we replace. That is if I published them in the first place.

@shenske

I was just looking at your Genesis covers that were just recently re-uploaded and saw something that should be changed to stay true to retail. Games like Wolverine, Spider Man and the other Acclaim developed games should have the Acclaim logo on the spine, the Hulk should have the US Gold logo and Street Fighter should have the Capcom logo instead of the Sega logos since those were only on games released by Sega. For consistency sake.

@BadChad

Thats why they are all listed as custom. I really don't like the different developer logos and little changes each developer made to the spine (ie: different color red stripes, white or silver "genesis" spine text, vastly different sizes for the developer logos and random little text added to the side.  I put Sega on the spine of all of them because the game is made for Sega's system. The only reason i have the red stripe on the bottom front is because the artwork did not fit without something to make the canvas area smaller vertically.  I meant to put a Capcom logo on the back of the SF2'SCE cover but i forgot.

So in short i wasn't trying to stay true to retail, i just wanted everything to look consistent lined up next to each other. For the future i can put the respective developer logo on the front and back but i'm going to keep the Sega logo on the spine.

Ok cool. I didnt know thats what you were going for, but it all makes sense now lol.

Definetly my ALL-TIME favorite Beat'em Up trilogy! I think I was around 3 or 4 the first time I played SOR.

Nice chad. I'm sure I played more Streets of Rage 2 with my kids than any other game.

[BadChad]

Streets of Rage 2 was one of the very few games my parents actually liked to play. And neither of my parents cared too much for video games.

Your mom liked it too huh? no kidding! I couldn't get my wife to play any of the fighting games. We did get her to play NBA Jam (so the four of us could play at the same time) but she quit after scoring on her own basket because we laughed and teased her. Sounds kinda mean now but it was funny at the time.

Hahaha, I've been making more stickers since I can't upload the covers lol. 
And yeah, I found a pretty decent, hi res image of that cover art, so I decided to make the cover.  Wasn't initially gonna do a Shadowrun, but since I stumbled upon the pic, I couldn't pass up the opportunity.

Does this sticker print out at original size? Grumbleduke's Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story label has different dimensions.
