Age-of-Atarius Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 OK folks here is an early edition of the Parker Brothers games that were not released for sale after the crash. I made the prototype labels to sell but hadn't test marketed them yet. Don't think the demand will be too high as there are few whom have the skills to put these on a ROM and insert them into the PB carts. I have them made up to go on the traditional Atari shells as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philflound Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Is there a way to move the McDonalds title down and put the logo above? It looks like it's getting cut off. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergun Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I agree about the McDonald's comment. Also the Ewok Adventure is not "game I or game II". In the end, it was just going to be Ewok Adventure. "Star Wars Return of the Jedi Death Star Battle" and "Star Wars Return of the Jedi Ewok Adventure" This was how the infamous Parker Brothers catalog depicted them both for final release. The whole "Game I / Game II" thing was a previous working title, just as "Revenge" of the Jedi was. Oh and one more thing... Anyone else think the Lord of the Rings label looks more suited for Colecovision?! I mean, is it just a coincidence that it has the Colecovision darker gold color, rather then the 2600 lighter silver color! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Age-of-Atarius Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 Yes those sizing problems were fixed. Micky Ds was redone as well as a couple of other minor fixes after this test run. On the Star Wars games I had to redo the Fonts and the change "Revenge" to "Return" Game two is also one I am working on, but I don't think the programing I have in mind would be possible on the Atari as its a bit complex. Your right about the color on LotR being a bit darker brown as that is how it was made originally. I did try enhancing the color hues to get in more like the traditional silver. But the closest I got was a light pink, and those weird fonts got blured so I decided to leave it as they designed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Age-of-Atarius Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 The funny thing is that some of these games have already been copied and produced. While I hadn't see any being actually sold I am fairly certain there are a few hundred copies of Care Bears and Ewoks Adventure out there already. They have even made boxes for it in the PAL market place. http://www.retrogamesshop.com/product_info.php?info=p3_care-bears--reproduction-box--atari-2600.html http://www.retrogamesshop.com/product_info.php?language=en&info=p5328_star-wars--ewok-adventure--reproduction-box--atari-2600.html&= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Age-of-Atarius Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Curious as to how you were able to do the backside of them. Were you able to obtain the originals? I had never seen the full design on those before. I was also thinking of making those but obviously its not worth the effort of contacting Parker Brothers to ask permission and see if they have pictures of them. I have only seen one post where someone made a rule booklet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
