rocky007 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I agree totally with you, and what i did wasn't an official proposing from my side, but just a "proof of concept" of what could be a retro style ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti99iuc Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I agree totally with you, and what i did wasn't an official proposing from my side, but just a "proof of concept" of what could be a retro style ... ooohhh yessss, i understand... i started from the same concept and with the same cover style :-), just in the work in progress i've tought any change...

+retroclouds Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Even though different in style, I very much like the artwork that both ti99userclub and rocky007 have been doing :thumbsup: Looking forward seeing how this further develops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) Rocky, WOW!! Excellent job!!! I particularly like the second of the two. I like the first, if it had a more prominent reference to "retroclouds" and perhaps removing the "II". . Great job though!

rocky007 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 thanks opry99er, unfortunally the picture of the first if from Pitfall II cover...so difficult to remove the "II"...what to do if retrocloud release Pitfall II ? so, here is it the same with Pitfall... after some search, i noticed that even games not made by TI have also the same cover design. Ex: Congo Bongo is made & published by SEGA, but with the same cover style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 That's fantastic work!!! Are you doing that by hand? I mean, you're using some kind of editing software, but you're talented!! I'll have to get you to do the cover art for my new RPG, "The Legend of Beryl Reichardt". http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/157664-the-legend-of-beryl-reichardt/page__st__50 look down the page a ways to see 2 screenshots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky007 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Sorry to disappoint you, but i'm really not talented ! I made them simply using the copy&paste functions in Photoshop, and all graphics are from the pitfall originals artworks. It could a pleasure the help you, but i'm not graphist unfortunally. I can help you if you supply minimum bases. PS: Watched your project, it's really great, remembering me the Ultima series. hope to see it finished soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex: Congo Bongo is made & published by SEGA, but with the same cover style. :-) ... well done... it's a good alternative :-) .... but about you wrote i must say that have the same cover becouse distribuited by TI... other software as 2049er for exemple or all scott foresman distribuited from himself or FunWare Software ... are not in TI standard graphic style... however are two different works... i know your cover becouse i have had the original pitfall II, just I wanted to offer something different. now i'm decided how can be done a box for cart and how to lay out the manual :-) I Found an old VHS box and i can try to adapt it for a box, it's could be easy for everyone to do !!! any suggestion ?

ti99iuc Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Hello everyone! Excuse my absence but I was not good .... influence :-( ... now better .... and I Rimes to work. here is the other two proposals, mixed with the previous ones ... I've now taken over the drafting of the handbook :-) all this work to resume at least some label design of the cartridge, otherwise we would be completely out of the plan devised by retroclouds. Always in my opinion ... means how do you think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the pictures of rocky007 too, but I don't think its a good idea to mix them. They are a different style. Also the 2nd picture is from Pitfall II, and you never know perhaps I might give that one a shot sometime retroclouds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+retroclouds Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Want to take the opportunity to thank all of you who helped support Pitfall. It's a huge success. I still have a few spare Pitfall cartridges so I will be contacting a few of the people on the wait list. By the way, my next homebrew cartridge project has started. It's a conversion of Parker Brothers' Tutankham of the colecovision but enhanced with a decent title screen and Tutankham tune. I'm heading for a 32K cartridge but might end up with a 64K one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+retroclouds Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) After a long period, I'm very happy to announce that Pitfall! now finally is available for sale again Thanks to the hard work of matthew180 we have a nice webshop where you can order Pitfall! and other funky TI stuff. The Pitfall! cartridge is now assembled and shipped from the USA, so that should help reduce shipping costs a bit, as most of you are located in the USA anyway. Check out http://codehackcreate.com and click on the store link. Or click here. *NOTE* The game even runs on unexpanded 99/4A computers (=without 32K RAM memory expansion). It does not contain a GROM and thus will not work on the later released 99/4A computers. If your Master Title Screen says "2.2" and "© 1983" on it then this cartridge will not work in your computer.
