I've decided to convert all my 2600 games to the new Atari 2600 style.  I know they aren't exactly retail but i wanted all my games to match and i liked the style.  I figure it'll match any 5200 games i may get in the future.

Asteroids


Breakout


Donkey Kong


Pitfall!


Superman


together



Plenty more to come, tell me what you think!  :)

I like it, but I am not too sure on white on grey background for the spines.  Seems kinda hard to read IMO

I like it. I've been re-covering a few of mine to match the original box style [text only, picture, silver box, red box, children's, etc - http://www.atariage.com/box_styles.html?SystemID=2600]

That way I feel less bad having duplicates of some games, as they're different styles, so it looks a bit better on the shelf. :)

I've got a few that I've already done, although a different font, and they're very easy to read on the shelf.

I originally thought that too but that is how all the silver/red covers are on the site. I figured since all of them are that way it must be easier to read when its printed out.


@Everyone
Do you guys think i should go back to the original style font (the front spine and back) or should i continue using the atari style font?

I prefer the original font as used on the silver boxes as opposed to the Atari-esque font. The font on those covers just doesn't fit IMO.

@ Michael:

Are you joking or what are you doing?????

Did you ever read anything on our forums what our site is all about?

All the covers you uploaded are utter crap and absolutely unacceptable!

We have strict quality standards on our project and ALL really all your covers used extremly low res artwork and were unclean! The customs had wrong pn and so on and so on....

So stop uploading crap and do it right! I don't have the time to check 20 or more covers for nothing.

Back to the original style text. Instead of making an individual preview for each cover i just put them all together (need to go to bed). As always, let me know what you think  :)

Now that is what I call beautiful.

I'm so happy that we also got many people here who actually care about stuff. :)

By the way shenkse. Did you ever update your Universal Sega Template with the new stripe version?

Ektophases Turbografx template should also be added to our templates page. It is a very good one after all.

Looks awesome now! Far better than the red box template that was used before...
