Breakpack Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Ive been scanning my boxed games and with the cases I got from www.mediacases.com Ive been putting my loose games in cases so every one of my orphaned games can have a home. By default,the Atari manuals do not fit in those cases,but Ive been scanning those too...resizing them to fit and printing them out(besides ,most of my loosies have no manuals anywayz.... )Whadda ya think??

Ushabin Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Wow, those look great! That's gotta be alot of tedious work resizing the manuals. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sku_u Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Are you chopping up original boxes, or using scans? I'd never destroy original boxes. If you're happy with them, that's what counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakpack Posted July 4, 2004 Author Share Posted July 4, 2004 What Ive been doing is buying up Atari games in their boxes and scanning them (no scissors involved ) ACD Fotoslate 3.0 is what I use to print the manuals/covers out.Its got the option to create a custom template,then I fit the scanned image inside it (once I create the size it needs ta be).And to create the covers ,I use 8 1/2 x 14 in. paper so it would be long enough to cover the entire outside plastic case.Then ,using a ruler and razor,I straight cut the printed out product so it looks somewhat professional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

video game addict Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Oh and Breakpack, those look great man! Weren't you starting out with real boxes & hacking up first time around though? I seem to remember a slightly different method at first. I think scans are a much better alternative! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenwood Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 That's a really great idea on the scanning.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, can you fit CBS carts in those???? By default, 5200 or NES games dont fit.But using a razor,I trimmed out the inside molding plastic .Then,Im able to fit whichever game I need from those systems Oh and Breakpack, those look great man! Weren't you starting out with real boxes & hacking up first time around though? I seem to remember a slightly different method at first. I think scans are a much better alternative! Yup ,but at the time I didnt have a scanner,or the template software that helps me resize the artwork.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
