    "Someone asked for a NEO GEO box" yeah that got us so confused since there is lots of versions

    Especially, since we don't know if the console is a AES, CD, or X Gold

    Some boxes are also different if PAL or NTSC, plus the regional market

    If YOU are confused, imagine myself now !!!! :? :? ;)

    I have a feeling it's gonna be NEO GEO CD, but let's wait. He isn't responding to my messages yet.

    Hello fellow members!!!

    Our friend Anthony invited me to write on this thread because I have a different project and a request. My project started with the idea of storing my boxless consoles in a proper way so my wife wouldn't complain about the ugly cleaning products boxes on the shelf, so I asked around for pictures and measurements of the original boxes for the consoles I didn't have. But people liked the idea and started to make requests. The art for the boxes turned out pretty decent and I'm very proud of it, so I had the idea to make something like a database for it. I think I have 8 or 9 art already (and miniboxes, which are awesome) available at leonardobiagi.imgur.com . Feel free to have a look and download whatever you like or need. I just ask that's for personal use, of course.

    Now the part that concern your community. Someone asked for a NEO GEO box, but didn't specify which model. Then I asked on the General common part of the forum and Anthony found me and enjoyed the idea and thought I could add something to the community. So, since I'm still to return here with the specifics for the box I need to replicate, I'm offering my services for whoever need something that I can provide, be it any box for any console. The only thing I would need is pictures of a high quality (or scans) for at least the parts of the box that are hard to replicate, like families playing together, or the console at an angle, or a hand holding the controller, things like that, and the correct dimensions of the box. That's all. Take a look at y site leonardobiagi.imgur.com. Thank you all for the attention and all the best. (I'll be back later asking for the correct model pics)

    Hey Leo,

     

    Interesting to know. Thank you for sharing this. I'll certainly submit a request once that day comes. I personally never seen something like this done before, but certainly glad you would go the distance for gamers and collectors that would like to acquire your works. Well done! :thumbsup:

     

    I have a popular Neo-Geo thread that is located here on Classic Gaming General section on Atariage located here. Feel free to share your picture contents regarding them in the near future if you wish. We would be glad to see them no doubt! :)

     

    Anthony..

    It is I that thank you. As for your NEO GEO official thread, can I ask for the pics there as well?

    Hi Leonardo,

     

    If you Google Neo-Geo boxes, you'll see a variety of different types that were available for the Neo-Geo. But mentioning the particular box will be more helpful. Just so many to post that would be time consuming and lengthy to post.

     

    But glad you offer this service to the community. I might be a potential customer in the future seeing you captured my attention with this inquiry you have. :)

     

    Anthony..

    Hi Anthony, I've done that, the googleing I mean, and noticed that... I'm gonna wait for the guy who requested it to reply and then post it here, it'll be less confusing.

    And regarding the need of my services, please request, request, request, I really enjoy making them, it's very challenging. i'm not able to provide the phisical box itself yet, since I'm yet to make a full one myself (I've done some, but with merge points on the print, since my printing place won't print on a big enough paper at an affordable price, so I have to cut the art, and the merge it on the assemble.) (I'm actually happy with the result myself, and am using the boxes, but to provide for others is not a decent thing to offer.) ( I use ( ) a lot). But the art is available at the site and if people ask for, I can provide the .psd files so they can edit.

     

    Thanks for the reply and suggestion

    You should tell us which version as Neo Geo has a few different boxes

    Since the guy didn't specify which one, I'm taking whatever you can provide. I'll ask him, and when I get the answer I'll write it here. But if you have a specific one, I'll be more than happy if you could send me. I don't know if you are aware of my other posts, but I'm making replica boxes and posting at leonardobiagi.imgur.com for whoever is interested on printing them. I started this project for myself, to make boxes for my consoles which were missing, but people started asking, and the idea now is to have a database. So whatever box is finefor now.

    Thanks for your reply and attention.

    Hello everybody!!! I got a request from someone to replicate a NEO GEO box for him, but I don't have any info to start. Could a nice soul be kind enough to provide the measurements and some high quality pics of the sides of the boxes??

    And when it's done, I'll share the art with whoever asks for it and even make a replica box and post the pics and also share the art too.

    Thanks in advance and all the best.

    This is really awesome- I can't wait to buy a copy!! :)

    Thanks!!!

     

    I got tired of the overcharging the printing places were asking to print a full one sheet print for me (sometimes the price matched buying a conole with a box!!!) so I decided to go guerrila style. I printed the biggets size they would for a dollar and glue it together. the perfect soluction? No, but I'm pretty satisfied with the results so far. I'll post the pics on the progress and if someone would give me any ideas on how to make the merging point a little more discrete, I wuld appreciate a lot!

     

    thanks again.

    The The Voice boxes are ready!! Both big and mini. As I said before I decided to go full guerilla style on the box so, instead of looking for a place to print it all in one piece, I printed each face separately. First I assembled the box itself with the cardboard. Just plain, with no art. Then I glued each side and glue black tape on the edges. I never thought it would work, so I didn't take any pictures of the process, but it turned out really great and I'm very happy with my box. I consider this project done. Now on to the styrofoam part.

    Here are the pics.

     

    Thanks again.

    Going back to the The Voice project!!!

    I finally got to finish it. (The art part at least). I've been working on the Sherlock Holmes project a lot and left it aside for a while, but finally got some time to do it.

    I'm posting the final art of the remaining faces and the comparision and the "unfolded" as well. I'm going to print a mini box and post the pictures later on the week.

    My patience with finding the right printing place and cardboard is running out, so i decided to create on of my own. It's a little more work, but I like the challenge. I'll post the results as well.

    The styrofoam part is the most challenging part because I'm building to look almost the same as the real ones too.

    And I've added some small text relating that it's a mock up and not the real one (not that I think it's that similar, but some members on the 3-DO forum suggested and I thought it was a great idea.

    Thanks again to metarog for all the pics and time dispended on taking them.

    Hi Leonardo,

    Here are photos of the 4 sides of the Dutch Quest for the rings box. The bottom box is just a plain white box with no writing on it.

    Dimentions of the top of the box are 26,7cm long, 17,5cm wide, 4,5cm high.

    The bottom box is 25,4cm long, 17cm wide, 4,4cm high.

    Folded out the bottom so you can see how it is made.

    Thanks Seob, this is beautiful. EXACTLY what I need. I'll get right to it. And I'll try to print and assemble one version this week. Just one more question: how would be "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" in Dutch?

     

    Thanks again

    Measurements are below. Let me know if these work for you. As for the picture of things hard to replicate, there really wasn't anything I could see that would be difficult but you tell me if you need me to take a picture of something. Keep in mind my box is pretty worn. :(

     

    16 5/8" high

    15" wide

    7 3/16" deep

    This is really nice!! Thank you!!

    As for the pics, if you could take one pic from each face so I can have a reference, it would be nice. There's no problem if the box is in good shape or not... but if it's too much trouble, that's ok, I'll fish the net for it.

     

    Thanks again

    Aaaand here I come with another box request...

     

    Since I don't own any videopac master strategy games, I've been researching for some boxes so I can make one of the Sherlock's to look alike, but I can only find the front of the boxes on google, and one from the side. I've noticed that the videopac versions have videopac written on the side, so could any of you nice souls that owns one of the videopac master strategiy games (it can be any game of the three released in any language) send me some pictures of the sides and bottom, it would be very helpful and I would be eternally grateful.

     

    And another idea I had ( and I dont know if its a bold move, I haven't discussed with Rafa, the project leader) is that, when the project is ready and all the text is done, if anyone would like to translate it in their language and send it back to me, I would make the videopac in their own language. I noticed that since the videopac is the european version, there's a lot of different languages released, so I'd be willing to do that per request. We can do that interest check on the pre order. What do you guys think?

     

    And please, please send me the pics.

     

    Thanks again

    Another Sherlock Holmes update. I'm posting here as well because there may be some people who don't follow the Sherlock topic can get them as well.

     

    "Hello evebody!!! Another update and another interest check! We're way past halftime on the project. We're 99% satisfied with the box, 90% satisfied with the board, the overlays are looking great (we are still choosing the style and button format), the chips are on hold and the instructions are starting to take form. Like I said before there's nothing physical to show, but we're up and running and really excited for the outcome!

     

    The interest check is if there's anybody who would like the Videopac version, so I could adapt the box, the overlay (the odyssey version is much wider) and the instructions manual. Those are easy to adapt."

     

    Thanks again for your time!

    I have this box at home if you need me to give you measurements? I would be HIGHLY interested in a repro of this box as mine is worn and has some box tape on it. :( You could even add some "reproduction box" text somewhere on it. In fact that should be a requirement honestly.

     

     

    Panasonic-3DO-024-Box.JPG

    Of course I'm interested! Even if it's just to help you get the box. Then I'll have it in my "database" form whoever ask for it, and it woulb be nice to have a mini box of it. Can you take some pictures as well of all the sides, top and bottom. And some close ups of things that you could consider hard to replicate, like hands, people, this kind of thing.

     

    And concerning the "reproduction box", I was wondering about it and you could't be so right!! It's just a small text and it solve any problems people would have. Great idea!

     

    Thank you and all the best!

    Time for a little update. It may not seem now because there's no physical progress of the parts to show. But the box final prototype is almost ready. We're working an the art for the board, working on the instructions, and still waiting for the chips to get done (It may take a little while).
    But the work is going full time and as soon we get some pics to show you, we'll show you.
    Thanks again.

    Not your boxes as you're overseas but looks like similar products are showing up on ebay

     

    Geeze..... these will then find their way back into the market as original.

    I think I might have created a monster... but some people will always take advantage of others from other people's resources. I just hope my files are used for good and not evil.

    I always stated that my files are intended for personal use and even when people have asked me to sell boxes I never liked the idea.

    We can't control other peoples actions and I just hope the sense of community and sharing overcomes the need to profit in here.

    (And you can find those in Brazil too, I've seem people selling replica boxes, (stating they are not original, but Ive seen consoles being sold at astronomic prices with visually replica boxes but with no disclaimer and even worse, when people ask if its original, they say it is)

    But that's a nice and important info to know, Jagosaurus and I think you are correct to say that people will sell their consoles with replica boxes stating they are real.

    But not from me. ;)

    Tried to dive into the game years ago. Got the rom file from René to try and figure out how the game is supposted to be played, since i'm also into board games. The close i got to how the game mechanics would have to work was that it would have to be a crossover of Cluedo and Scotland Yard boardgames.

     

     

    I am very excited and interested in the O2 box!

     

    Seob, since the idea is an official release, we're working hard on the instructions for the game, and I was very surprised myself on how deep on the game Rene is. But you summoned it up correctly.

    KylJoy,we're glad to know of your interest, we are very excited as well.
