Atariboy2600 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Right now Im doing a Special Edition version of cart labels for each Flashback 2 games. I use the FB2 box art with the color Red and putting the FLashback 2 logo on the top of the label art with each of there own style, so far Im thinking of doing all 40 games plus two bonus games and I like to know how you guys like it before I go all the way so I picked one game for each of the four skills Arcade Favorites, Adventure Territory, Skill & Action Zone and Space Station.

atwwong Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I think the labels you've done so far are awesome! I don't see any legal problems since you are creating art just for fun; Curt can correct me on that if I'm wrong. I especially like the original look of Save Mary - how did you create that one? One suggestion: Make the Atari logo on the labels white instead of red. A recent poll in the Atari 2600 forum suggests that most people prefer the logo white over other colours. I'd love to see what you have in store for the others, especially if you do more like Save Mary. Also, please just post in one forum. If the mods in charge merge this one, please merge it into the Atari Flashback Console forum since it deals with FB games. We've already lost the FB2 vs 360 thread to the Modern Game forum because of multiple postings. Cheers, Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt Vendel Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I like the Save Mary! Label, very good indeed and the use of the Wizard art on Wizard is perfect :-) Curt I think the labels you've done so far are awesome!

What color should he use? I think a new color other than red, blue, and purple would be nice. How about a nice green? Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy2600 Posted November 25, 2005 Author Share Posted November 25, 2005 Caverns Of Mars was made in 81 for the Atari 8bit systems so here's my label on this game in the Origanl Picture Label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atwwong Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 They are all terrific! I tend to like the picture labels the best, because the picture stands out from the black border and you can have any colour text that you choose.

Smitty Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I don't believe it's to red. It's gonna be on a black cart. (Just my two cents), Smitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATARIeric Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 (edited) I cant pick a favorite out of the asteroids deluxe, they all look good but If I had to purchase one to start off with I would go with the all black then my second would be the red/silver on right side of screen. Cool Edited November 27, 2005 by ATARIeric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atwwong Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I am a purist so my first choice would also be the picture cart, but the two new silver labels look really cool. Do you have end labels to help me make up my mind? Come to think of it, the silver one with the fancy text on the right looks better as well.

atwwong Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Quick service! The arcade title wins with me if I had to choose one of the silvers. I really like the gradients used on the labels. Superb! Now I'm just waiting to see what you come up with for Return to Haunted House... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) It ain't to fancy but neither am I. Right to the point witj this label, no title needed (unless your a total dolt and you've never played PONG before...lol) EDIT: The front label is decent enough to print, but I screwed up on the end label and saved it as a JPG so it's more for show than use.

ClassicBoy Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) Okay, really dumb question... These labels look fantastic! What am I missing, though? What is the need for cartridge labels? Just for fun? EDIT - Whoops! Never mind. Just saw that it's possible to transfer FB2 games to carts.
