Donkey Kong XM - Atari 7800 Entry posted by Marc Oberhäuser October 31, 2012 2,408 views Share More sharing options... Followers 1 Here is my take on a Donkey Kong XM box. The look is borrowed from the first game boxes for the 7800 from 1984.
YANDMAN 309 Posted December 4, 2012 I do like it but i think it would be cool if you did a cover showing the original arcade cabinet in the background, Like they have on past releases of various games, When i was a kid this was the ultimate kick for me when you saw a box with the arcade reference on the front it made you super excited at being able to buy the arcade game. I think this would be a really cool touch. But it is a nice box for sure Quote Link to comment
YANDMAN 309 Posted December 6, 2012 I knocked up this, A more traditional Arcade box cover: Quote Link to comment
YANDMAN 309 Posted December 6, 2012 Hey thanks man i appreciate that, I love what you have done but just felt this should maybe be more arcade related and different instead of using the original 7800 artwork. Quote Link to comment
Marc Oberhäuser 778 Posted December 6, 2012 Very nice job. Only thing I would change is the first screenshot with a shot with Donkey Kong in 75m, that way the shot is not so empty. 1 Quote Link to comment
YANDMAN 309 Posted December 6, 2012 yeah i thought about it, But then i though when you look at the back of real 7800 boxes every single screen shot is awful so it kinda adds something in the fact that it isn't quite perfect, But thank you very much praise from another designer is always great, I would buy this box i think its retains that 7800 feel.
