+Steve Jones Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 My latest box project is the 8 unreleased CBS Electronics games. These were listed in their 1983 catalog as coming out over the summer/fall of 1983 but then the big crash happened and they were cancelled. 5 of these did already come out for Atari 2600 and/or 5200 systems, so I took those boxes and "Intellivisionised" them. Of the remaining 3, the only artwork I could find for WINGS was a tiny pic at the bottom of an ad so I just used that as inspiration for mine with a cockpit picture of an F14 which was around back then.. and screenshots and text from the ad. Madden Football never came out for any system on CBS although he did do commercials for GORF and Wizard of Wor, apparently he refused to license his name on a football game until it had 11 players on each team, which was beyond 1983 technology. The only art I could find was in a catalog and lo res and also partially obscured by another box, so I made a new design featuring Joe Montana and the 49ers in the 1982 Superbowl. The first actual Madden game came out in 1989 for C64 and PC, so I stole stuff from those boxes for these. Domino Man I took art and text from some ads for the actual arcade game. There has been enough interest so I'm going to get these printed by Marc O. They are on sale now for $15 each or $110 for set of all 8, a $10 saving, plus postage: Canada 1-3 boxes, $3, 4-8 boxes $5 USA 1-3 boxes, $5, 4-8 boxes $10 Rest of World, 1-3 boxes, $10, 4-8 boxes $20 (All prices in US dollars.) PAYPAL ME at steve_jones@rogers.com These pics are just prototypes, as usual ignore my bad cutting and assembling, Marc's will be much nicer as always. Also my phone camera is dying so the pics are a bit fuzzy, sorry. Cheers, Steve 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Steve Jones Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 only 2 sets left, I only printed 20. Message if you want one. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Steve Jones Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 So these arrived from Germany today, apparently the Wizard of Wor has "vanished" in the mail, actually a couple of boxes are still coming, it's unusual for 7 to arrive all at once. With any luck the rest will arrive on Monday and I can send them out. Great job as always Marc Oberhauser, Thanks! A couple of sets are still available, only 20 were printed, message me if interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Steve Jones Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 10 Wizards (of Wor) appeared today, 10 packages going out tonight to the first 10 customers, hopefully the rest arrive tomorrow. Funny how 10 packages mailed simultaneously take different routes through the various postal services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
