Any requests?

It would be sad to see the knowledge of some these mods go to waste. Maybe since Yurkie is discontinuing the service of these mods and doesn't feel comfortable with international orders, maybe he could do a few video tutorials for us that want to attempt it. Obviously, he wouldn't held accountable is someone breaks their crap. Like how to straighten the cords, how to do the pause switch, how to properly clean the controllers (his way), etc.... How about it Yurkie?

I only wish I had the game! LOL

This might be a tad dark, but try it and let me know.

Very Nice man!

Just a curiosity question here... You're using a MAME ROM or something similar as a point of reference right? I'm guess yes, since there's not much left out there. Just askin'.

Totally agree!

I had no idea you had made one... LOL

Here's a fast mock up of a "possible" Rip Cord label. I'm personally just doing this to get a feel for things. If you use it just credit me. Whatever. Feedback?

Very Cool

Another custom label. I had to do Donkey Kong. I always thought with the original the logo colors were off from the arcade. And since the game shipped with the console, it needed love. Here's my take.

I think I'm gonna stick to making custom "Factory Believable" labels. They just look more 80's - ish (If that's even a word) and more authentic looking. From what I've been able to see is that 95% of all Colecovision labels consist of ... Colecovision logo and game logo at the top (Top part of the cart) Nice rounded corner white box. Inside that, the Colecovision Logo, then the JUST a game logo, and barely (if any) any artwork (i.e. characters) A boring (yet authentic) copyright text Simple formula, really. Personally, I like the Parker Borthers, and Atarisoft carts, as far as artwork better.

Thanks! Not sure why they printed the copyright text that big to begin with! LOL

Alright attempt number...whatever. LOL I've also determined for future graphic designers as myself, the copyright font is 6 points in size, with the leading being 6 points also.

On the second version?

Here's a more traditional label, nothing fancy. Looks more authentic.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm almost thinking of ditching the copyright text altogether (since it's a custom label anyways) or removing the "jumper" image, and just keeping the logo instead. Otherwise, everything will just look crammed and busy on such a small label. Thoughts?

What font point size would you recommend? I've increased it now by one point size. From 3pt to 4pt. It's a bit better, but the reality is a lot of the copyrights on those labels were pretty small. Especially the Parker Brothers labels. LOL

The above contain the high resolution versions of Frogger, enjoy!
