Ready to use repro covers and general repro appreciation thread [Archive]

For a while now I've been making hi-res printable covers for repros and posting them various places. I'm a bit of a repro fanatic when it comes to unreleased games and translations and various other unofficial games. Figured I'd share here as well. They're free for anyone to use.

All covers are formatted and ready to print. Ideally you should print them from Photoshop to avoid them getting accidentally resized.

Covers are formatted for Universal Game Case (UGC) and standard Sega clamshell cases.

Unlicensed/Pirate Games

Note: Most of the unlicensed games of Chinese/Taiwanese origin have trouble running on real hardware so beware before you get a repro of any them. Most of the roms of these games however have an [f1] version available which is fixed to run on real hardware. Always use that version. Ideally though, if you can, try to test them on a flashcart if you or a friend have one. All of these games have a fixed version of the roms, so they're good to go for real hardware.

Wow, absolutely gorgeous work. What kind of printer do I need to do all this? Specifically, how do I print out labels?

Do I have to go to kinkos with this stuff on a USB stick or something?

Any printer that can handle pages larger than 8.5" x 11" will work. Obviously the better the printer the better the prints will look. Also use a good quality paper, I find the glossy laser stuff looks best.

As for the labels, I don't really know the best way to do it, I always get someone else to print mine. The guy over at http://www.gamereproductions.com/ makes really good labels for cheap. Also on Sega-16 there's a member who goes by mrbigreddog that prints labels. I'm not sure if he's registered here as well. Both options are good.

Kinkos and a USB is exactly how I print my covers. Though just a heads up, while most Kinko's staff are underpaid students who don't really care what you print, occasionally you might get the self-righteous stick-up-the-ass d-bag who will give you some speech about printing copyrighted materials and refuse you service. I've never had it happen to me, but I've heard of it happening to other people. I guess at that point you can try to reason with them and explain that you're printing covers for games that don't exist in any official capacity for a system that's 20+ years old and you plan to use them for personal display and not profit, but typically those types aren't really reasonable, so hopefully this won't happen to you. If it does just find another print shop or go back when they're not working lol.

They have really nice ones over at TCP: http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=6460

They're just formatted for UGC you'll want to resize it to 10.627" x 6.733" in photoshop to make it Sega Clamshell size. If you don't have PS I'll upload a resized one.

I would love to get a copy of Eliminate Down in the Classic Black Grid style sleeve/black cart label........Also the games Curse, Darwin 4081, and Dangerous Seed in the black grid style. I believe those 3 were actually set for a North American release early on in the Genesis's life but it never happened :(

I do accept requests, however I can only do them if I have scans or some sort of artwork to work with. I'm waiting on a scan for Eliminate Down from a dude on another forum, but the others I don't have. If you could get your hands on some I'd be glad to make covers with them.

Truly astonishing work, they look so professional. If only you did Master System games, there's only one Sonic game I don't have a cover for and it's Sonic Blast and I can't find a decent resolution cover anywhere of it.

I actually really want to make that one, only problem is I can't find a nice hi-res scan of the original anywhere :( Also, I'm super jealous that you actually have the SMS version of that game, I've been trying to find one for years now.

Yeah, they're all either unreleased (got cancelled last minute) or were only released in Japan, or are unlicensed Chinese pirate games (Lord of the Rings, Pocket Monsters etc...), or are fan translations or other hacks (ie: the Sonic and MKII hacks).

The Nadia game is sort of an RPG it's like those old school text adventures mixed with an RPG - very text heavy but it also has combat and exploration. It's pretty cool.

Anyway, here's some more.

Dude.........This is the first time I have looked at this thread and these are amazing. Def going to get Alien Soldier and Magic Warrior printed somewhere and swap them with the covers I have. I didn't even know many of these games existed. Are the pokemon and lord of the ring games good being unlicensed? Are they like homebrew? I am going to try making my own repros very soon so I will be using these covers. I starting with NES games first then hopefully snes and genesis. Nice Work.

Thanks man. Glad you dig the covers.

As for the Pocket Monsters games, they're OK in a weird Chinese pirate way. The second one is better than the first. As far as gameplay goes they're not bad, I always compare them to the Bubsy games, they're about as good as the Bubsy games with the additional perk of how f-ing weird they are. You fight all sorts of weird shit in addition to other pokemon, it's just silly fun. They're not glitched or anything and are fully beatable. I'd suggest you try them on an emulator before laying down any cash to be sure that you're into what they've got going. Also the second one has really catchy music.

Lord of the Rings is probably the best Chinese pirate fighting game on Genesis (which isn't saying much since most of them are unplayable). It's engine is pretty decent and the physics actually work logically. The characters even have special moves. The levels actually look pretty good and they did a good job making them look like actual locales from the LOTR movies (or books I guess). The characters look pretty good too, nicely detailed and accurate, except Frodo who's just way too goddamn big for a hobbit. I guess they couldn't scale the sprites down so he's the same size as the other fighters. Overall it's pretty fun to play, especially with a friend on VS mode. The 1p mode is very repetitive, you beat all the characters and then you have to fight some of them again, up to 3 times even. Then eventually it just congratulates you for beating the game lol. Compared to the likes of MK or Street Fighter, this is no masterpiece, but it is lightyears beyond other pirate fighters like Soul Blade or all those godawful King of Fighters rips offs.

Lanzo

09-09-2011, 06:42 PM

lol So you were right... I went to Fedex Office (Kinkos) today to get 2 of the covers printed. I go in and the guy I talk to is all cool, I told him I needed a copy of each cover on photo paper and he opens it up on the pc and everything is cool. Then his boss walks out and asks him if it was for a school project, and I said no they were just some unreleased games. He wouldn't let me print them because of the sega trademark. All in all I gave in without really fighting because I didn't want the cool guy to get in trouble. The good thing is I didn't realize the Clamshell size ones would fit on 8.5 by 11 until the cool guy told me. So I went home and printed it myself on some soft gloss photo paper and it looks awesome. And the size came out right and everything (using photoshop of course)

They lost my business, although I understand they have to watch their backs on the copyright issue.

Yeah I've printed some of the labels myself. I did them using nice glossy photo paper and a decent laser printer. Then to stick them on I used an all-purpose glue stick, actrylic gel also works but is a little trickier to apply. Also the labels are a little hard to cut out, I use a credit card and a razor blade or hobby knife to get nice straight edges and the rounded corners.

Holy crap these are beautiful. I particularly like the Sonic boxes. Gotta get me a decent printer or haul my ass over to Kinko's. Where abouts would I get a box of the right make and dimensions?

Thanks! The covers are formatted for 2 different types of boxes: the Sega clamshell case - which is the standard black plastic case that most Genesis (non-Electronic Arts) games came in. You can always just buy a crappy sports game for a dollar and salvage that case. The UGC (Universal Game Cases) you could buy from various places online, I got mine from www.nintendorepairhut.com, however they're sold out right now, but should be back next month.

This hack is pretty awesome, you get to play as all 3 characters through Sonic 2. You can rotate who you're controlling and even take all 3 of them into the special stage. They also have all their special moves from Sonic 3, including the elemental shields and even their super forms when you get the emeralds. Surprisingly it runs really smoothly with only some slowdown during a few of the bosses. Overall it's a pretty cool hack and it's supposed to run on real hardware.

also, how about something for Snow Bros? ;)

OMG yes, if you could send me the HQ scans for Eliminate Down (which I've been hunting for for over a year now) and Snow Bros that would be beyond awesome. Best way to do it is upload them somewhere like megaupload or mediafire and pm me the link, since I imagine the files are too big to attach to email.

I think repro sounds so much softer than "pirate", don't you?

IMO pirate sounds cooler, because you know - pirates "ARR Matey", eyepatch, bird on shoulder, wenches, treasure, scurvy and all that, people seem to like them nowdays. However pirate games and repro carts are 2 different things. Pirate games are games that don't have official licensing but use licensed content/characters/names ie: Sonic Jam 6, Squirrel King, etc... Repro carts on the other hand are typically officially licensed games that have been fan translated, region hacked or hacked in some other way ie: English translations of games that didn't get an English release, or hacks like Knuckles in Sonic 1. Though things can get a little confusing if you repro a pirate game like Squirrel King, or hack and then repro a pirate Game like Squirrel King lol, but in the majority of cases the 2 terms refer to different things.
