Curt Vendel Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 If you're going to do a box, try to keep in it designed to fit the "would've" been year release of the game, then make a box along the same lines as a game actually released at that time, then put in someplace Reproduction so it is clear for all, that it is a reproduction. The blue doesn't seem to be a good fit for Wizard.... hmmmm, maybe Adventure Yellow or maybe Red perhaps??? Or try a darker blue. Why don't you team-up with CPUWIZ, get permission to use his artwork which is superb and put together the boxes & manuals? Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RasterScan Posted March 27, 2004 Author Share Posted March 27, 2004 I got box idea from Defender. The prototype is from 1980 so I was going with an 1981 release with a pickture label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Did anyone ask Chris Crawford how he feels about this? It's all well and good to release prototypes, but I get squeemish about people making money off someone elses work, especially when they're still around and active in the programming community.

RasterScan Posted March 27, 2004 Author Share Posted March 27, 2004 I didn't think of asking because it has been done before. What else has he done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Just for the record, the copies that I sold barely paid for the printer cartridges, PCB's and glossy label paper I had to buy.

RasterScan Posted March 27, 2004 Author Share Posted March 27, 2004 Yeah, i've already did the math. I just wanted to give it a try. Like I said, I will probably make no more than 10. If people want more, I'll make'em. I just wanted a boxed one for myself but I can not get one box printed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RasterScan Posted March 27, 2004 Author Share Posted March 27, 2004 So, what do you guys think of the box? I realy don't want to make another. Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RasterScan Posted March 27, 2004 Author Share Posted March 27, 2004 You guys think I should just scrap this project? I have a few idea for some not games. I just need to pull out the 6502 books and the Stella programmers guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RasterScan Posted March 27, 2004 Author Share Posted March 27, 2004 I think I will can this project and just work on a new title. I think we can all use a new title not a re-release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neotokeo2001 Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 I think the box looks fine (I prefer the blue). The only change I see would be to make the eyes at the end of the tunnel bigger so they will be more easily seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RasterScan Posted March 28, 2004 Author Share Posted March 28, 2004 Well, since I'm pretty much finsihed with this project I will go and get some boxes printed and sell a few.
