+atari2600land Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 As you may know, I made a game for the Odyssey² called "Jack and the Beanstalk." Marc Verraes is going to publish it. But it seems like we've hit a snag. We can't find any artwork for the game. That's where you come in. The object of this contest is to design a cover for the game. The winner will get his (or her) artwork used as the cover of the game. Also, the winner gets a free copy of the game! Plus: I'll give $150 of my own money to the winner of the contest via PayPal. Sounds good? I figure a deadline of April 30, 2022 at 11:59pm Pacific time will be enough time for you to design a really cool cover for the game. Go! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rykr Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Nice, I'm assuming this game is exactly what it seems, a game about Jack and the Beanstalk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColecoGamer Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Quick question- do you want the image to resemble the old art design (the bright colors and trailing effects seen on game boxes like Pick Axe Pete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColecoGamer Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 @atari2600land Is it okay to submit more than one drawing? I ask because I have a few ideas for the cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 I have posted stuff about the contest on the videopac.nl forums as well. We have a winner! Marc and I chose videopac.nl user "Janzl" for the contest winner. Thanks for all the entries, I really appreciate all the ones I got from people who care about my games. I still don't know an estimated release date though for the game. That is still to be determined. I may post the winning artwork soon.
