pmpddytim Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Hello! I am holding a label design contest for a custom marriage proposal cart that I am going to use to propose to my girlfriend. You can read the original post about this on the 2600 forum under "Proposal Via Atari?" So far Paul Slocum is hacking the rom for me and Albert has graciously offered to produce the cart free of charge! Now all I need is YOU to create the lable that will adorn this one of a kind cart. The winner will recieve a $25 gift certificate to the AA store. The contest runs from Today (March 31) until midnight April 17. (I know its not long but I'm going to propose by the end of April). The Rules: Anything Goes. The game will be Donkey Kong and after she beats the first level the proposal will come up on the screen. However, the label does not have to be Donkey Kong related . The only real rule I have is no excesive use of the color pink, she hates pink. If you would like to put our names on the lable somewhere I am Tim and she is Jennifer. Please post you entries here. Tim EDIT: I perviously wrote "However, the label does not have to be Donkey Kong related ( would prefer it not to be)." I dont know why I wrote this, disregard.

StanJr Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 how much do you want the label to tip off the surprise inside, though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Uhm, wouldn't a different label ruin the surprise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpddytim Posted March 31, 2004 Author Share Posted March 31, 2004 Uhm, wouldn't a different label ruin the surprise? Not really, you cant see my 2600 when your palying it, I use controller extensions and the unit is on the lowest shelf of my entertainment center, deep in the shadows. I'll just mae sure she dosent see the cart, wont be hard. "Here, check out this new game I got" (hands her the controller). (She plays the game.......Oh my!......I DO!)

vb_master Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I thought it would be nice to put a ring on the lable, but when I searched "ring" on Google image search, I got some messed up perverted site. Why me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why me! Only you Vb, only you. Maybe you shouldn't of put "cock" before "ring" Next time try "wedding" or "engagment". Speaking of perverted, does this emoticon look perverted to anyone but me?

Saikyo Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Have a white question mark on a black background! Oooh women loooove surprises! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I'd suggest something really subtle. Like DK slipping a ring on Pauline's finger as DK is carrying her away. But I suck at art, so I can't help ya. And everybody knows what means...and it has nothing to do with fatigue. Not yet anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariYoungin Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I have a good idea for one, I'll try it when I get home today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vb_master Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 How's this? I think I have too much empty space at the bottom. I think an AtariAge logo and/or Pixles Past logo woud work, but I can't find an image with the "evolution" of the AtariAge logo, or a Pixles Past logo to suit.

Cyber-Independent Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 If DK is in the "game", It's only right that he be on the label, too! I hope I upload this right, I made a jpg files for posting, but I've got Hi-Res versions as well. BTW, any woman who says "yes" to something like this is a keeper, IMHO.

I assume this will be in a standard Atari cart case and NOT a Coleco case then? This label is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukey Shay Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 That would be a cruel trick for him to play on Jennifer. Might get him shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HermChase Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Oh man...That is such a beautiful screenshot. I think a big "Awww!" escaped my mouth when I saw it.
