To make this box, I took inspiration from Imagic games for the ColecoVision like Moon Sweeper: http://colecoboxart.com/coleco_moonsweeper.htm
I always try to be the most accurate in my work. As you can see on these original boxes, the screenshots on the back are not from a real ColecoVision, so I tried to do the same.
My goal is to make the boxes as they would have been at the time. Usually, boxes don’t differ much from Atari VCS, Intellivision and ColecoVision, especially when made by third parties like Imagic. So I make a mix to guess what it would have looked like.
For the storylines in manuals, I may add information from any sources, even arcade manual. What’s wrong with that?
Whenever it’s interesting, I also add trivia.
Programmers often don’t give any information about their game as the gameplay is obvious or notoriously known.
I’m provided a pre-version rom to discover the game and write the manual. I’m not a hardcore gamer and I often suck at playing the games, so with no infinite lives I don’t go far in the game but I try to figure out the mechanics. And yes, sometimes I don’t remember which button is left or right in my emulator.
I’m really sorry that you don’t like my work, my box and manual. Now I guess you can’t please everyone.
