timdu Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 The winning artwork for the label for AG4 has been chosen! It was submitted by Brad Nuce (a.k.a. ManCaveArcade). He will receive a free game cartridge of ALIEN GREED 4! Brad is also creating the box for Alien Greed 4. With Brad working on both the label and the box, the whole package is destined to be awesome! Brad designed a special box for me for MEAN SANTA and I think it his work is fantastic. I am happy to have Brad contributing to this project. More details soon!

Shawn Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) Game looks pretty neat but those laminated boxes really don't do it for me. I know alot of others that prefer standard cardboard also FWIW. Nice package you made there none the less.

timdu Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) The nice thing about the laminated boxes is that they will never tear or rip or crease. Never really thought about that until Brad brought that to my attention. You can take the game out and put it back in a thousand times and the the box is going to endure the handling. It will also endure water (or coffee or any spilled drink for that matter.) So I see the advantages. I have spoken to Brad about a non-laminated version of his boxes and then putting one of those clear plastic "keep 'em minty" cases around the box. Have you seen those? Then the problem is it becomes more of a collector's showpiece though. You have to open the keep 'em minty case and then take out the box and then open up the box and then get the game. So I can see both sides of the argument here. I guess it comes down to personal preference. I never really placed a high priority on the boxes, but now I see the value in them. They are neat, especially if you display your collection of Atari 2600 games on a bookshelf for example...
