nonner242 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 the box looks great,but mary looks like she is tough enough to save herself. also.she needs cleavege.big boobs=money! just kidding.seriously,great job Thanks mark. I did redraw/rework and colorize the original unreased artwork for the box. Original print in low rez next to my reworked art below. It was a total pain in the ass. Im glad I never have to do it again. I had alot of problems trying to keep the original art intact due to the low resolution of the original. Not to mention the darkness and grain in the orginal. I remember the Title being a real pain to redraw to. I just took a guess at the colors, made it as 80's as I could. I decided at the last second to add clouds and a new cliff. More time went into this box than any other. It was the worst project I ever decide to take on as something fun. I really should of gave her bigger boobs tho.. Maybe on Save Mary 2!

+Mitch Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I picked up a save mary cart in 2004...I purchased mine from Video 61...It came in a not so cool white box and is still in the original shrinkwrap job they had done... What is the story behind those games purchased from them when compared to any other places? Is my save mary the same quality as yours? If not, I for one am pissed...I also purchased Klax, The Monitor Cart with Huge manual and Pit Fighter from them the same year...Are these fakes? Did I get ripped? God I feel like an idiot right now..... YGTBFKM! (unless i got the good stuff) Someone please fill me in if you have dealt with this company before.... Save Mary is a 2600 proto that Video 61 repro'ed on 7800 cart boards, since it was cheaper than using 2600 cart boards. Klax and Pitfighter are 7800 protos that Video 61 is also selling repros of. The Monitor cart on the other hand is a licensed 7800 program. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) Save Mary is a 2600 proto that Video 61 repro'ed on 7800 cart boards, since it was cheaper than using 2600 cart boards. Klax and Pitfighter are 7800 protos that Video 61 is also selling repros of. The Monitor cart on the other hand is a licensed 7800 program. What I was told is that they are not technically repros as much as they are a heap of pre-production chips that Atari Corp produced before orphaning the 2600, which Lance bought off them. In other words, they would be free from any and all copyright issues, unlike most repros that just flew under the radar. I think this is the same rationalization that Best Electronics used, but the general feeling there is that Best whipped out the EPROM burner and made as many as they felt like.
