Albert Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 AtariAge user Ken "kenfused" Siders has ported the popular arcade game Burgertime to the Atari 5200, where it will be released under the name Beef Drop. While a disk-based version of Burgertime was released for the Atari 8-bit computers, this version has been written from scratch to be more faithful to the arcade version than the older 8-bit port. Beef Drop needs an original, Atari 5200-style label, leading us to team up with Ken Siders to sponsor a Beef Drop Label Contest! The winner of the contest will receive a free copy of Beef Drop, a $50 gift certificate in the AtariAge Store, and credit in the manual for his or her creation. Visit this page for more details about the contest, and you can view screenshots from the game and download a demo of it at the Beef Drop In Development page. Winner Selected! Beef Drop author Ken Siders has selected Henry Lee's label as the winning entry in the Beef Drop Label Contest! Beef Drop is an original port of the popular arcade game Burgertime to the Atari 5200, where it will be released under the name Beef Drop. Henry will receive a copy of Beef Drop when it becomes available in cartridge form and a $50 gift certificate for use in the AtariAge Store. Henry's label will adorn all copies of the Beef Drop label and manual when the game goes on sale. Congratulations to Henry Lee and thanks to everyone who submitted the wonderful labels for this contest! Choosing a winner wasn't easy!

Phosphor Dot Fossils Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I've just submitted my first entry, and it's not for the weak of heart. And as with the infamous Backfire Bathrobe, I've put a little bit of myself into my artwork.

snorlaxnut Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Does anybody have a good copy of that color bar that's above the picture on 5200 cart labels? I need a copy of it that's big enough for the blank space on the 300dpi size of the Atari 5200 label template on the contest page. Please post it or send it to me by PM. Thanks.

Phosphor Dot Fossils Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Y'know, what would be beautiful for this game would be to package the cart and manual inside those anything-but-environmentally-friendly styrofoam burger boxes like McDonald's used to have, and maybe do a sticker for the top of that container to identify it. Yum! Oh, and extra pickles too.

Albert Posted July 8, 2004 Author Share Posted July 8, 2004 Does anyone know what font is used in this? Not sure, but it kind of looks like "Mumbo SSK" that is listed on this page. Ken likely had to draw the title graphics by hand, pixel by pixel, so there may not be an exact font match. Hopefully he'll respond with some insight of his own. Five people have submitted entries thus far... ..Al Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/53430-5200-beef-drop-label-contest-winner-announced/#findComment-651443 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phosphor Dot Fossils Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Putting aside the fact that the mere mention of the Walton empire is anathaema to some people, you might want to check Sam's - I could swear I saw pretty decent-sized stacks of generic burger boxes there a few months ago, last time I went; it's generally around the industrial-sized selections of plates, plasticward, and "thank you, have a nice day" bags.

I generally avoid Wal-Mart for various and sundry reasons, and I do not have a Sam's card. However, I do have a Costco membership so I can look there. If not, I'm sure there are plenty of restaurant supply companies here in Austin and I doubt it'd take very long to track down suitable containers. Of course, I'm not going to do that unless Ken likes the idea. ..Al Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/53430-5200-beef-drop-label-contest-winner-announced/#findComment-651615 Share on other sites More sharing options...

feo Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 You can buy those burger boxes that you are talking about at Smart & Final. They are al over the west coast + NV and AZ. (www.smartandfinal.com) That is a very neat idea. If you want I can go check the pricing and do a size check. Let me know.

feo Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Not yet. Did you figure out your font? I used the one suggested here, and modified slightly to make it match closer. I modified the 'p' to turn it into an f just like it.

Albert Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 I'm running a little behind this week. I just posted the first batch of entries to the Beef Drop Label Contest page--they're down at the bottom. There are 11 entries so far, and I look forward to seeing what else everyone dreams up! It'll be easier for me to keep on top of new entries now that I've got the first batch posted. Keep up the great work! ..Al Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/53430-5200-beef-drop-label-contest-winner-announced/#findComment-655916 Share on other sites More sharing options...
