The Atari 5200 Label Thread!

I like it also. The label looks great. Tigervision made weird carts though. Do you have a pic of the 8-bit version?

News from Dave, says he is going to change the ending of the game, he said he might be able to use some stills from the movie itself.

I heard from Dave Comstock the other day and he is going to fix level 33 he said he thought he had enough memory to make it more like the movie ending.

Atariboy2600 had made this label (where has he been?) and I held on to it.

Hope this helps!

BTW, how do all of you make these labels?

Sorry, it's Top Secret. It takes years of training. Thousands of dollars worth of education and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of 'State of the Art' equipment. Plus a whole lot of magic.

 

Photoshop or your favorite image editor.

Your welcome. It's really not that hard. One thing you need is the right fonts. They are here somewhere on Atariage. You then just need a good high-res picture. Many old video game magazines have ads that have the same illustrations they would have used on the labels. Also the arcade flyer graphics can sometimes be used. http://www.arcadeflyers.com/

 

Just use a pre-existing label from this thread and cut and paste a new graphic into it and then change the title and other text with the same font. They come out looking like Atari made them. Then get die-cut labels from 8bitclassics and print them out. They are a buck a sheet for four labels plus four end labels for 2600/7800 games.

In celebration of the new 5200 Prototype 'Muppet-Go-Round', I made a nice label for it. Hopefully the rom gets released so we can all make a cartridge for it.

Thank you so much!!! These labels look very professional!!!

 

So now I can submit these labels and the binaries to the AtariAge Store and they will custom make the carts for me?

 

One thing I just noticed is the size of the files for the two labels, as the Stargate one is 633k while the Battlezone one is 194k. They have the same resolution so I am not sure why there is a difference in file size. Will that be an issue when the carts are being made?

A Variation on Blaster...

Very nice! I've been on the lookout for some good original Blaster artwork for my repro cartridge.
