CPUWIZ Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Gosh, I wonder which one it is ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaXpress Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I happen to think the concept and execution looks beautiful (cause I'm a geek) but you would have been fired from the marketing department for turning that one in.

Cassidy Nolen Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 CPU, Unreal. I love that box. Count me in for one if you print more!!! Love that overlay image on the front. Very thematic Cassidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osmeroid Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 As per usual, CPU's box art is superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uosipa llamxew Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 @CPUWIZ: I'm continually impressed with your reproductions. I'm curious if you will ever open up a website and put some of these things up for sale? Nice job! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I certainly wouldn't mind one to put my Magicard and manual in something at last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShyOne Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Ooooo ... breathtaking ... I like that one. Thanks all for the nice comments. Very glad you like this latest effort. Though I got box credit for design on this one, it was very definitely a joint creative effort with CPUWIZ, and we had a lot of fun trying to come up with ideas for box art on a product that isn't a game, has absolutely ZERO artwork (let alone any aliens!) attached to it, and originally came packaged in a zip lock bag. We actually tried to give at least a 'nod' to the VideoLife packaging, since obviously, technically speaking, the MagiCard came first, and if they 'had' done a box for it, it likely would have been more in that style, but ... I just couldn't do it. Too damned ugly. So sorry - took the liberty of going with their later box style in something close to their earlier colors. Hope we've not offended the purists out there ... Busted quite correctly by Marco on the size. No, as of this moment, it will NOT hold the only manual I have available to work with, which is the repro. But here's my question: Is the repro accurate to the original, size-wise? If so, I'm perfectly willing to adjust the box size to accomodate it (since that's what they'd have done), but then, it ain't gonna match those other CommaVid games sitting on your shelves ... Here's a couple more shots for you: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Weis Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 But here's my question: Is the repro accurate to the original, size-wise? : YES! BTW if you do make them to hold the manual also, i would be interested in one! (box only that is) :wink: love the color choice you picked out! Great job!

CPUWIZ Posted February 25, 2004 Author Share Posted February 25, 2004 She's gone to bed but I had to finish messing with it. It's perfect in size now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Woooo, sign me up for one. Though my Magicard is the variety without a case on it (just the circuit board), so I hope that still fits okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, why don't you get a crappy label Cosmic Swarm and strip it so you can properly protect your precious (and I mean that!) circuit-board?

CPUWIZ Posted February 27, 2004 Author Share Posted February 27, 2004 Im gonna have to get a Magi-Card reproduction run. Just a reminder, that is not a reproduction, it's an original design. The Magicard never came in a box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cryptik76 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Wow, CPUWIZ! Just think of what opportunities you'd have on Ebay had you decided to use your powers for the forces of evil rather than good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted March 5, 2004 Author Share Posted March 5, 2004 The glossy 13 x 19 stock finally arrived. It looks so much better. @Marco: Keep it cool, your package should be ready next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
