oesii Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Any of the gurus around here work for Panic (Mac software)? They went a little Atari crazy recently with cool retro boxes and art. Coolest part is you can actually buy these. http://www.panic.com/blog/2009/12/panic-retro-art/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 So cool! I think I'll buy the posters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Looks like Sam Jackson on the Unison box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hot damn, they actually went through with this. They contacted me a while ago to show me the artwork, back before they actually had boxes made. The artwork is damned impressive and very much follows the style of the old Atari picture label artwork. I wonder how many boxes they had printed. They make great Mac software--I use their Transmit FTP program daily. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuppicide Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Someone needs to design a game to go with these! Limited edition of course! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabel Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hey guys! AtariAge was a hugely helpful resource during this project. I'm glad you guys like it and thanks for checking it out! If you have any questions about the production, let me know. (And Albert, send me your address, I owe you a set!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurisu Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 So cool! I think I'll buy the posters Looks like I know where a good portion of my Intellivision money is going.

S1500 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Personally, I think making repro Atari 2600 game boxes is taking the love of classic video games a bit too far. With what Panic did & the makers of the Venture Brothers DVD covers(putting your twist on it) is rather nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylark68 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 The artwork for Candybar is particularly good. That closeup shot of the chef is hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cebus Capucinis Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 "Windows 7"? "OS X"? What are either of those? I think you guys meant to say "these will surely look good on my infinitely superior Linux box desktop" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catsmasher Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I don't know about spending more for an empty box than one with a real game in it. I guess if I already had everything else... Now posters like this with the real artwork (like Defender, Space Invaders, ) would be worth some bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 if someone did this for the NES..Collectors would be bitching It has been done already and folks are not bitching, they are buying. These boxes are not "good" or "really nice" or "great" what they are is factory made perfect. If a title like Stadium Events,ect. was made like this you would get ripped off, so would I and so would anyone else cause these boxes are factory made, not a flaw to be found, 1:1 perfect. These pics do the boxes no justice at all but just for the sake of seeing with your own eyes: I only wish I could afford to get a factory pressing of boxes for my games like this.
