Atari2600Phreak Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 here is the rundown so far. I hope everyone is excited about this as I am. I am! Thanks for all your hard work--each one looks awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvigor Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 I have also been lurking around this thread. I am very interested in having a complete set of these labels. Keep up the good work and thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4 Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 Hello, again everyone. I have a grand total of eleven of these things, progress will continue but I'm getting worried about copywrite infringement. Recently noting that just because you don't sell something you copy you can still get in legal trouble. So I will be conducting a small investigation into this situation. Until then I will continue to draw all 33 standard label variations for the Activision games. Hopefully no one will be in any trouble. This would be the explainantion for why I haven't passed these on for production to the headquarters of Atari7800.com. I'm waiting out of fear from the corporate HQ.

D.Yancey Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 None of my Activision carts have even one spot of actiplaque on them(ones originally bought by me when they were originally released). I think temperature changes causes the problem. My carts were not sealed and they were played and handled frequently dating back to 1981. Even some of the boxed Activision carts that I've recently aquired have pristine labels. However, I have purchased a few loose carts recently with poor labels. Those of you who have purchased sealed games still have no idea what they have been exposed to over the years. I have enjoyed reading this thread.

Doc4 Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 I would love to get to the bottom of the actiplaque myself. I hate the stuff. Regarding updates on the labels though I have added River Raid, Megamania, Checkers and Bridge. I will try to posta new picture soon.

Doc4 Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 Wowzers!, I haven't been posting in a while. I have nearly completed theentire standard line of Activision labels, I have roughly 11 more to go and the whole thing is finished. I still need to discuss whether or not this is truely legal to sell or even reproduce these things, especially since activision is still around, I don't want to make them made. But I will be posting the entire standard label line within a couple of weeks sporting all the wonderful designs. They look really cool all lined up and pretty soon I will have larger versions on my website. But thats another story. I haven't finished that either. Anyway, just an update.

Doc4 Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 Holy sweet mother of ...., I have finished yes finished all 33 activision labels. I have painstakenly redrawn all of them. I know in about four days someone will post in here that they found all the original art, and that will totally suck because I have driven myself insane to get these things drawn and out of my mind forever. Well, not forever. But hey its an accomplishment I'm proud to say I managed. I will be posting a mini poster of all the labels, hopefully tomorrow to show everything off. I'm still in the works of possibly getting permission to sell or give these out for free, maybe as prizes. If that is the case and noone will be getting sued I would very much like to get back in touch with Atari 7800.com about geting these printed up, (Sorry for the lack of communication guys) Hey by the way if anyone talks to Albert tell him he should email me (HINT HINT) Anyone there?

Atari2600Phreak Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 Congratulations on your accomplishment--I'd be overjoyed and appreciative to have a label set when you're ready! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4 Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Here is the final product. I hope everyone likes this. I can only hope to soon produce these baddies on good high gloss sticky paper so everyone has the chance to get them. Follow the link to see all the labels on a one sheet. I though it would be nice also to have a poster of this set to ship out as an additional bonus for those willing to purchase all the labels in a set. How many people out there would like to have these labels anyway? here's the link: http://clunkmusichall.com/actart/ActivisionGames.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garbs Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Nice work monster. I'd be interested. As soon as this whole thing works itself out (glue, cost, etc). Post the specifics here and I'll e-mail ya. Again, nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4 Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 hey thanks. It's nice to get some feedback. I will definitely keep everyone informed of the progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicJoke Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 I would be interested in a set, as long as the labels work out as being less then a $1 each. Well, as long as the set costs less then finding Activision carts with good labels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangles66 Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 A+++ work. If you're going to produce these and sell them I'm interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer! Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Those are INCREDIBLE! Rock on, dude. Even though most of my Activision carts are in good shape, I'm thinking about getting a set just to have! Amazing! Now, will you use your powers and spectacular skill to make OTHER labels as well (like say for that Dark Mage and Boing! I've got sitting around here all naked and such?)

Atari 7800.com Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 I'm also interested in knowing whats up?

Xot Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 I just got into this thread and all the pics are GONE! Any way I can still check this out? As a fellow designer I'm interested on a couple of different levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
