+Gemintronic Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Before I delve into creating Intellivision games I want to make sure the packaging is acceptable. This is how far I've gotten with my Atari 2600 releases. Of course, the insert will have to be adjusted for holding the cart. Does this packaging look decent for an Intellivision release? Any constructive feedback is greatly appreciated 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Black_Tiger Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I appreciate unique packaging and I like how this reminds me of imports from Asia bitd. I think most Intellivision fans prefer packaging similar to releases from various publishers during the 80's. There are several people who specialize in designing and producing boxes, manuals, overlays and it may be easier and/or cheaper to go that route. Either way, it would be a good idea to reach out to mthompsom, the1hatman and Steve Jones. Kamikazi26 can supply you with pcbs, cart shells and misc aspects of publishing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+retrogmr Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) Personally, I appreciate the homebrew nature of your packaging and 3d printed carts... with all the advancements we've gotten away from the hand-made stuff. I dig it Edited September 27, 2023 by retrogmr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+the1hatman Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I like that we have a variety in packaging so I say go for it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 For me at least,as long as the box is relatively the same size and shape of other Intellivision and Intellivision Homebrew boxes,everything else is great however you want to make it.👍 Generally around here everything is made with a box,instructions, the cartridge and hopefully 2 overlays also. Whatever game your making I'm sure will be well received and much appreciated. Thank you!😊 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Steve Jones Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Yeah gotta have overlays, even if you only use the side buttons, it’s an Intellivision thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinjinhawke Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I do like diversity in packaging and/or contents. Just no weird shaped boxes. Though if it's a fun game I will buy it regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any constructive feedback is greatly appreciated Just to clarify, is that a mocked up cardboard box? I can't tell if it's a case or cardboard.
