+pboland Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Besides the Games that came with overlays, I was wanting to know what games you guys thought might benefit from having an overlay that didn't originally come with overlays. I have the ability to reproduce Jaguar overlays (minus the button embossing, so mine are flat) and I thought it would be a good idea to not only offer the originals (reproductions of course) but custom overlays for games the didn't come with them. The overlays are 100% plastic (no paper). They are made the same way I make Colecovision and Intellivision overlays if you are familiar with those. Here's a few pics of some reproductions I've made to give you an idea of how they look: Let me know what games you guys think would benefit from overlays that didn't originally come with any. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Very nice and good to see they are made in plastic. It would be nice to get a full set, particularly for games that only had an overlay design in the manual and didn't have a real overlay.

Sapicco Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Make a complete set! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+pboland Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 Make a complete set! What would be in this complete set? I would assume all the overlays that did originally come out, but would there be more. Or what about the idea of an orphan overlay set?

Sapicco Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I would suggest multiple options. Complete set of official released games Complete set of only games that did not come with one originally Complete set of all home brew Singles for all games Something like that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 If kept reasonable, I'd be interested in some for the games that didn't come with them and a few that did, but I'm somehow missing. Iron Soldier comes to mind. Skyhammer is one I'd like to see made with this kind of quality. Not into paper or card stock overlays. Maybe one for Battlesphere Gold and Another World too.

How different is Battlesphere Gold (keypad wise) from regular Battlesphere. Sorry I don't own the rarer titles for the Jag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I think here's at least a couple of variants out there for BS, but same function keys for sure. Could just put a tiny image of that gold foil sticker somewhere and call it good. Or gold. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could just put a tiny image of that gold foil sticker somewhere and call it good. Gold foil (in any way) is a tough one for me to pull off. I'm able to do silver foil, but not gold. Sorry. On a side note I have (I believe) all the original released overlay art done: Now I just need to figure out what other Jag titles can use an overlay.

032-Bias Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) I know that Syndicate and Robinson's Requiem make use of the keypad; there are a couple nice Syndicate overlay files somewhere on AtariAge. Some games that didn't come with them had overlays printed in the back pages of the manuals too. Edited July 19, 2017 by 032-Bias 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UHATEIT Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Please make a Battlesphere one. From what I've seen online gold or not it's the same controls. I think iron soldier 2 is the same as the first game just throw a 2 on the end of it! I think Zero 5 could probably benefit from one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+pboland Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Okay I made a couple customs: More to come... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+pboland Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Any time frame on production and pricing on these yet? I don't have any time frame yet. I still need to finish up an Atari 5200 overlay projecting I currently working on: INTEREST CHECK: New Reproduction Overlays... Once that's done and out of the way I should be able to focus more on this project assuming the interest is good for Jag overlays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UHATEIT Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Sounds good! I'm happy things are being made even if it's this late since the Jag was out. Some games really need an overlay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+pboland Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 Please make a Battlesphere one. From what I've seen online gold or not it's the same controls. It is very rare for me to ask this but I'm having trouble confirming what keypad buttons do what in Battlesphere. Mainly because I'm have trouble finding the manual online for it. Text or html is fine as long as I can see a description of the keypad functions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UHATEIT Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) I was able to find this online. But don't know where I can get one. This is the battlesphere one I looked up and should help you with what button does what. Curious if you are able to make these? I also need the AVP overlays too as I only have the cart.

UHATEIT Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) This is a brighter picture of that. Can't remember where I saw this, likely eBay. Edited July 22, 2017 by UHATEIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I have various overlay designs in PDF that I'm going to send you via PM. Those may be of help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Be nice if a totally re-designed overlay would be made for BS. When I had the one above, was tough to make out while playing. Should have a lighter background, larger or lighter fonts at the very least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping to find someone I can order a set from and pick like 10 that I want and need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely limited run sort of thing of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterG Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 For BS you should have in mind that you can configure the controls. Don't know how exactly it changes the buttons from the top of my head but for example you can tell the game that you are playing with a regular pad or a pro controller. I think I make rolls on the shoulder buttons and increase or decrease speed on X and z which already are different functions from the overlay shown above...
