christianscott27 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 the box art was actually just placeholder art whipped up by PBs house guys. notice how it doesnt relate to the actual gameplay at all, stormtroopers etc. proper artwork was prepared for the title by famed sci-fi painter hildebrant anyways... a thread from long ago and this picture should help http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...&hl=hildebrandt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxsolo2000 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Didn't someone say that the box to Revenge of the Jedi II existed and was privately owned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxsolo2000 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Tempest, question for you slightly off topic but on game boxes. Was the vectorscan artwork for Battlezone Atari 2600 that was shown in several Atari newsletters and adverts ever released? Was one ever made up like the Revenge of the Jedi boxes?

christianscott27 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 interesting, as any good star wars fan knows revenge of the jedi was the planned title. when i met larry (the ewok programmer) he told me that they were given advance copies of the script to develop game concepts from. prior to release they went to pitch their ideas to lucas, they were asked to come up with several concepts each. larry said that he and the programmer of star wars DSB were so intent on doing ewok and DSB that they intentionally made the other game concepts they presented lame. perhaps the sarlac pic game was one of those? notice that ewok is game I and sarlac is game II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wanted to get those games when the boxes were displayed, the Ewok game is pretty cool, I wonder what the Sarlacc game would have been like!

dr. kwack Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Wasn't this going to be put to cart a few years back? I thought I remembered somebody saying it was a go until some technicality popped up. Any chance it will come to the masses in cart form?

Thomas Jentzsch Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Wasn't this going to be put to cart a few years back? I thought I remembered somebody saying it was a go until some technicality popped up. The problem was solved and a limited run (for trade only!) was produced.

Shawn Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Someone should mock up a Sarlacc game. I was hoping one (or more) of the homebrew Kings around here would make a totally new, from the ground up Star Wars game and call it ROTJ Game II. I don't want to see a hack job for this one, I love hacks but this game has background that just calls for a true original work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscott27 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I don't think it's a box, though.I think it's just a picture from an ad. I'd agree since you'll note it says "return" instead of "revenge". I've held the "revenge" box, its a one sided mock-up made for tradeshow display. I dont know if the ebay one is the same exact one or not. ohh and isnt that label scan missing something...something yellow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I like to fine an high rez on that same label with the AT-ST as well and dont worry I wont sell any, Im WAY WAY to poor to make real carts:p Edited April 10, 2006 by Atariboy2600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscott27 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I'm a bit confused by what you're looking for but heres the simple story - dont some one own the resl cart and box of the game No, parker bros never got to that stage. They made a mock-up box to include in tradeshow displays and catalogs, this is the "stormtrooper/revenge of the jedi" version, several of these boxes seem to be floating around. The "AT-ST/ return of the jedi" artwork was comissioned by parker bros for the final release version of the game, thus it fits the actual gameplay and correct movie title. Since the game was canceled before reaching production stage you wont find any carts from PB aside from unlabeled protos. At one point the game's programmer (Larry Gelberg) owned a copy of the AT-ST artwork, based on his description I searched the artist's portfolio til I found the artwork, Larry later confirmed it was the correct art. The artwork as found was not inside the silver gray label shape and did not have the ROTJ text above it, we added those based on the design style of the ROTJ Death Star Battle game label. A purist could argue on about the thickness of various lines and the type size, I know we did, so in the end its more or less as close as you can get to what a released version of the game would have looked like.
