The Mr. Video Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) Hi, I made some cassette j-cards for some of my Atari 8-bit games, and I thought I'd share them with you guys. They're saved at actual size, so you shouldn't have to mess with any settings to print them at the correct size. For best results, print on card stock or any kind of white paper that's thicker than regular printer paper. Cut along the faintly colored border and fold according to the white markers in the bleed-in area. I add more j-cards from time to time, so be sure to check back once in a while.

+Stephen Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Awesome - I can finally add something to the clear case my States & Capitals is in.

The Mr. Video Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 It has certainly been a while since I've last updated this post, what with the real life stuff and laziness getting in the way. But anyway, I've added not one but two j-cards for Journey to the Planets. One is based on the original JV Software box art, and the other is based on the Roklan box art. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbaeza Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Thank you very much, Mr.Video. These JTTP ones look astounding, very well done. JTTP is one of my favorite games, and your jcards caught my eye immediately. Thanks for sharing. Luis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cx2k Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 These look amazing!! Anyone else print them out yet. They're too big when I print. Almost a full sheet of paper. I checked all the settings and made sure there was no enlarging or "fit to page" but they're still huge. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made sure that they are saved at actual size so that you wouldn't have to fiddle with any printer settings, but I guess every printer is different. The only thing I can say is to adjust the print size until it is right. Try using another cassette j-card for reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mr. Video Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 "Just when you thought it was safe to make a cup of tea..." another J-Card was posted! I replaced the belt on my 1010 tape drive, which got me interested in cassette games again, so I figured I'd make another J-Card since it has been nearly 2 years since the last one. This time, I did Temple of Apshai both because it seemed like a simple one to do and because I liked the box art. I plan on doing some for Synapse Software games too, so stay tuned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mr. Video Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 And now, the moment you've all been waiting for (At least, I think this is what you're waiting for), a J-card for a Synapse Software game! I started work on Shamus a long time ago, but abandoned it for some reason, so I went back to it and finished it up. I placed the Synapse Software banner on the bottom instead of the side like on the actual box because I thought it would work better here. Also, Shamus and Temple of Apshai do not have any Atari branding on them, so you can use those j-cards for any other version of the game aside from the 8-bit version if you want.
