About This File
Overview:
In 2021/2022 the MAME team made available all 60 G&W Games and provided amazing unit artwork. That inspired me to recreate all 60 boxes in 2022-2023 - in 4K - in PowerPoint. 3 years later (in 2026), I’ve recreated – entirely from scratch again - all 60 boxes in 8K in Photoshop
(Note: the banner examples are not 8K as there is a max resolution limit to what I can post…but the main sets are definitely 8K!)
Main Set (2026, 8K):
Recreations of all 60 G&W games in Photoshop. Max 7680 wide (or tall). Includes fronts, backs, spines and clear logo’s (though Logo’s are Max 4000 wide). Generally, I’ve gone with 1st Issues / Releases, but for Ball and Flagman I’ve gone for 2nd Issues (as these are in keeping with the rest of the Silver Series) and some backs are 2nd Issues as I don’t have good source images for 1st Issues
- 01a. MAIN SET - Box - Front - Reconstructed (2026).7z
- 01b. MAIN SET - Box - Back - Reconstructed (2026).7z
- 01c. MAIN SET - Box - Spine (2026).7z
- 01d. MAIN SET - Clear Logo (2026).7z
Alternate Issues (2026, 8K):
Recreations of 1st, 2nd, 3rd issues that differ to the main set…notably includes Ball and Flagman 1st issues and Judge 2nd issue (but also some 2nd Issue backs from the Wide Screen and Multi Screen series)
- 02. ALTERNATE ISSUES (2026).7z
Extras (2026, 8K):
Recreations of the left, right, top and bottom sides of all 60 G&W games. Not possible to use them currently in LaunchBox (but maybe one day we will be able to….hopefully).
- 03. EXTRAS (2026).7z
Region Sets (2023, 4K):
These are my 2023 PowerPoint recreations of as many of the regional sets (Argentina, Australia, France, Germany and UK) as possible, all based on images and evidence from the net. Mostly fronts and backs only. I am hoping to work through these and re-create them in Photoshop too one day!
- 04a. REGION SET Argentina (Electronica Status) (2023).7z
- 04b. REGION SET Australia (Futuretronics) (2023).7z
- 04c. REGION SET France (J.i21) (2023).7z
- 04d. REGION SET France (Nintendo) (2023).7z
- 04e. REGION SET France (Videopoche) (2023).7z
- 04f. REGION SET Germany (tricOtronic) (2023).7z
- 04g. REGION SET UK (CGL) (2023).7z
Fan Art Set (2023, 4K):
Recreation of the Gold Series fronts without the Japanese writing (aka pseudo North America). Again, these are from 2023 and created in PowerPoint.
- 05. FAN ART SET North America (2023).7z

Finally, Acknowledgments!
- @hydef, algestam and the broader MAME Team
- The amazing full box scans from the French NintAndBox website (unfortunately no longer in existence)
Without either of these, none of this would have been possible. I hope the MAME team – if they ever see these – are happy that my box sets compliment their amazing artwork.
I would also like to state that none of this artwork is to be used commercially...I just wanted to create great artwork for use in BigBox!
