Mattel Intellivision On-Screen Overlays 1.0.0

I've downloaded this multiple times I get unexpected end of archive and cannot extract it. Could you check on your end possibly. I attempted repair of the archive as a zip now all the files get a checksum error.

I just reuploaded a new zip file. The old one extracted for me but I hope this works better for you.

That has it fixed!!! I'll leave you a review when I get them running.

Thank You very much.

Can't wait to try them.

Cheers :)

Glad to hear it! Do let me know what you think when you get to try it out. This is my first submission of a bezel pack.

I have tried them they look good the only thing I would do it make it a tad lighter I sit right next to a 65 inch 4k display and you cannot see the tv very well. In your first screen shot you can see some of the tv control panel but when I use it it is very dark. Also some of the overlays you use are very pixelated a light surface blur then a unsharp mask would make them prisitine. Thank you for sharing this. I had a lot of problems getting it to work because your roms are named different than mine all of mine have blah blah (World). I am not going to use these overlays but I look forward to seeing the pause menu you are working on I think it would be beautiful to be able to pull up the overlays on the fly. All in all pretty awesome.

cheers

Thanks for the comments and your patience getting it set up, I appreciate it.

I personally like bezels to be very dark and not distract my eye from the game as much so I made them much darker than Mr. Retrolust's original. Sorry that first image was deceiving.
I'd love to spend more time some day finding really good scans of all the overlays but I had a hard time finding many at all while working on this.

If You get me a list of the games I will find some. I can upscale them and we can remake them.

 

It's the list in the original post above

I'm going to not clean them they are such basic designs I'll upscale them to 5000px and you and I can fix the text and a few logos and we'll have a pristine set. I'm just going to check the ones I've done to your list. Just to let you know I'm not full certain but most sets for the intellivision are marked (World) I do not think there was different release via region.

 K I lied they need cleaned first here is a few so far let me know what you think. 

That's gorgeous! I was finally *playing* some Intellivision games yesterday and went looking for a manual and found another site I hadn't turned up before: https://annarchive.com/intellivision_overlays.html has what looks like a more consistent, somewhat higher quality set of overlays.

Previously I was using these http://www.intvfunhouse.com/overlays/table.php which has a lot of variations and revisions as well. It's been so long I'm not sure where my set of ROMs came from and how they got to be titled the way they are.

 

I redrew the entire thing over top of it remaking everything in photoshop.

I have had a family emergency and I will be gone for a bit I will work on these when I get some down time. B safe I'll pluck away at them try to find a decent quality zaxxon overlay and post it so I can redo it ok.

 

Cheers.

Sorry to hear that @djweevil666. Take care and best of luck to you and the family!

Take a look at this guy's Flickr account when you can. Not scans but very high-res photos of loads of Intellivision stuff. Here is a direct link to Zaxxon: https://www.flickr.com/photos/13839114@N00/49918201977/in/photostream/

Otherwise, these are still the only 2 scans I could find:

SO crisp! Fantastic work!

The font I used for the numbers is wrong I couldn't find a matching numbers font.
