ColecoVision Posters : Opcode Game Covers

[Doc4]

I thought I would give this topic it's own section here. The deal is this, I'm planning on making posters of each game released from Opcode as tweleve ( 12 inches ) wide by eighteen ( 18 inches ) height. I'll be posting some samples online in the coming week for everyone to look at and will have a cost estimate for these soon.

 

The original plan of producing posters at 24 x 36 inches was too costly and I can only assume that $36 per poster was a little too steep. So by reducing the poster size I can create a much more affordable product. At this point I would just like to see if anyone is interested in purchasing them. If the interest is too low, then it might not be worth the time, so tell everyone and let me know.

 

The posters will be for: Sky Jaguar, Yie Ar Kung-Fu, Magical Tree, Space Invaders Collection and possibly Pac Man Collection and Road Fighter ( pending authorization from Opcode ) Again, I'll be releasing price info and sample images online soon.

 

Thanks

Definately count me in. I'd go for one of each, possibly two depending on cost.

I disabled your posting ability for 48 hours to give you some time to sort out all your personal problems with Eduardo, Opcode or Pixelboy in private messages.

I have the first poster prototype ready and I've taken a shot of it to show everyone. I've decided the final product will be on semi-gloss 80lb stock at a size of 13 inches wide by 19 inches tall. This will allow the buyer to cut the poster down a little or to allow for a frame edge to overlap the poster itself and not lose any of the image. The extra border after the size increase will be 1.5 inches on all sides. The image you're seeing now is on 100lb Matte stock at 12 inches wide by 18 inches tall. The Matte finish paper just didn't have quite enough cool factor as the semi-gloss does.

 

I'm starting with Sky Jaguar for this first run and will have a price estimate by tomorrow afternoon. I'll be taking orders after the price is online.

 

Thanks,

Accepting check, money orders and cash ( at your own risk )

 

Shipping: $3.00 for flat box ( within the Domestic United States )

I don't know all the players in the Coleco community, so maybe this seems like a dumb question to other people here, but why only Opcode games? There's no chance you'd do this for other systems or other homebrews is it? I'd love a Beef Drop or Adventure 2 poster.

The artwork for those posters come from the boxes of Opcode games, artwork which Dale (monster angriff) realized himself. So he's just trying to make a little extra money from the work he has done in the past. Neither me nor Eduardo will get any money or other benefit out of this. Heck, we'll have to buy our own posters from Dale like everyone else.

It's possible, we'll see what happens..

We've decided it's best to ship these posters flat to avoid any damage in the rolling process. Iamges will be online within a few hours and orders will be taken at that time.

[Doc4]

And now for the posters!

 

Please send all orders to [email protected] until we get the web page for orders built. Include your name, address and how you would like to pay. We will reply with an invoice and as soon as we receive payment your shipment will be sent out.

 

Thanks,

We've been selling a good deal of these posters already, but I wanted to bring to everyone's attention the new artwork that is about to grace the Space Invaders Poster. As the design has been modded a little, I decided to update the poster as well. I've added the Kanji and an unjustly forgotten Jess Creations logo to name a few things.

 

Stay tuned for a new image update and let me know if you're interested in purchasing by sending an email to [email protected]

 

Thanks everyone for the support so far.

All of the posters have been reduced in price thanks to the great location of Opcode team leaders being near amazing print shops. Please check out the new page at the Opcode Games web site and thanks to everyone who has been supporting this so far.
