Buyatari Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 This painting was passed over in favor of the one which was used. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerwannabee Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Wow, it kind of looks like the Out of Control box. I would say this painting is more true to the game than the other one. Though this art is also a little bit cheesier too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviticus Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 That's pretty cool! Definitely represents the game well. I always thought the art they went with was kind of funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 It looks cheap, sorry to say. But I'm betting it would be great for numerous pirate/knockoff carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic George 2K3 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Looks like something that belongs on a silver box-no red band period of Atari 2600 game cartridge boxes. Of course, it could have used some touch-ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Can someone mockup a Defender label with that artwork? I'd like to see what it would have looked like. Buyatari, is it alright for me to add that artwork to my Defender page? It's prototype artwork afterall. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think it would be cool to see what it would like if it was used on a cart. Or put on a cart with another homebrews programmers idea of how of the game should have been done.

PacManPlus Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Looks more like 'Stargate' to me with the swirly-thing in the center... ... Where's Atariboy2600 when you need him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SINGLE TOOTH Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I really like the defender art they wound up using. Its one of my favorite cart arts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacManPlus Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 ... Hey, who is the chick in Ace Frehley's costume in the bubble just below the ship? I actually like that painting better, but I wonder if it's because I'm just so used to seeing the original... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godzillajoe Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 That looks like the cover of some cheesy sci-fi romance novel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Random Terrain Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Doesn't seem Atari-ish for the time Defender came out. By that time it seemed the quality of the art was better. It looks like something a smaller company would use for their Defender clone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nester Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I'm sure there's some pirated version of Enduro or Pac-Man out there with that label. It wouldn't surprise me one bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Franzman Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 It does seem a bit low-quality cheesy. What's with all the brush strokes in the sky? Does that say "666" off the white ship's starboard wing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I think they made the right decision, seeing as how the actual artwork didn't have "buyatari" in big letters at the center of the artwork. Anyway, to be serious, I kinda like it. And it does look like 666. Actually, it looks like more than just three sixes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opeygon Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 You sure that buyatari isn't just the name of some web site? I see 666 too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galaxy warrior Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 i dig the art and would totally throw it on a cart. it be nice to see the no watermarked image so it could be made into a label Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari2600Lives Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 You sure that buyatari isn't just the name of some web site? I see 666 too HEHEHE I saw the number of the beast as well. I like them both but I am more use to what they actually used , so I would give the nod to that and say that they made the right decision.

Buyatari Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Some artists have more visable brushstrokes than others. I'm sure alot of it is edited out in the printing process. They aren't always as visable on the final product which is one of the reasons I enjoy the originals so much. Check out the final art to NES River City Ransom.

Godzilla Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 That is really cool. I like that a LOT better than what was used, its much more spacey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
