    Quick update on first pass (2nd pass to start after tops, and really is my chance to look at each game individually and "eye ball" that I think its OK): Fronts - complete (inc. re-doing all the LCDs / LEDs all over again, and re-working the backgrounds to more closely match the original box artwork) Backs - complete (I've had to use a little AI on the Crystal Screen cartoons, but hopefully looks OK...noting there are not really any good scans out there) Sides - complete (had to re-create the Crystal Screen boxes in full in Photoshop to get the continuous shading across the sides and - still to be done - tops) Logo's complete (all 4000PX wide - taster below) Tops - to do 2nd Pass - to do Submit "MAIN" fronts / backs / sides / tops / logos Start on the variants (French, German, Australian, UK and Argentinian boxes...possibly look at re-creating the Time Out North American versions of the Silver Series)

    I happened to be updating my MAME set when I noticed ClrMAMEPro update an svg file... I couldn't believe it...the LCD files are in the MAME game files! When I did my PowerPoint recreation in 2021/2022 I checked the MAME Artwork files and couldn't find the LCDs - and I never thought they'd be in the game files (I thought they were dumps only). So to date I've been running MAME, changing the video options to screen only, doing a screen capture, modifying the screen shot then vectorising it. Whilst a tough call, I decided I needed to go back through my 2026 Photoshop recreations over the last 6 weeks and re-do the LCDs again using the proper MAME svg's. It is very annoying TBH - I had already completed the 60 fronts and 40 backs. On the plus side, I noticed on the Wide Screen series that a few of the game box fronts have parts of the LCD backgrounds in front of the LCD...so I've just completed working through that. So the Silver Series, Gold Series and Wide Screen Series fronts are now re-done (again). Need to re-do the Wide Screen series backs, the Multi Screen Series (that'll be tough) and the rest before I'm back to where I was last....definitely put me back a week or more. Anyway, a quick example of Octopus unit re-done below (that took me a whole day!):

    Still working through the box backs. Mario's Cement Factory and Manhole (both the New Wide Screen series). The little cartoons are tough...took hours to re-cut them.
  7. EASTWOOD2002
    Pretty much there on the (tall) MULTI SCREEN box backs (Pinball back example below). Slow progress as all the letters in the text need spacing differently.
  8. EASTWOOD2002
    Tackling the backs now. Here's BALL, MANHOLE and PARACHUTE (I'll not post every one I do here....don't want to bore people with all the backs).
  9. EASTWOOD2002
    Mario The Juggler (logo re-cut)
  10. EASTWOOD2002
    To Do list now looks like: micro vs. systems - the black on the controllers seems to have depth shading Table Top - finish replacing French for English on units All LCD's - maybe layer mask the grey backgrounds for consistent background colour Maybe Re-cut "G&W", "Multi Screen", "Wide Screen" and "Panorama Screen" logos
  11. EASTWOOD2002
    Pinball Japanese variation (text only)
  12. EASTWOOD2002
    G&W Pinball logo recreated from scratch (took way longer than expected)
  13. EASTWOOD2002
    Crystal Screen logos finally recreated:
  14. EASTWOOD2002
    Super Mario Bros. Special below. I think that's all the main 60 Game & Watch....just need to work through my To Do list before submitting them all.
  15. EASTWOOD2002
    Safe Buster, Gold Cliff, Zelda and Black Jack:
  16. EASTWOOD2002
    Current "To Do" list once I've re-created all 60 (to do before I start on the box backs / sides / logo's) Silver Series - check Fire's blue colour Multi Screen All - bottom clasp (maybe needs to be extended to left 1 or 2 pixels) New Wide Screen - DK Jr - check red on Logo (maybe darker?) Super Mario Bros Special - re-cut ribbons Super Mario Bros Special - check ribbon ends Table Top - DK Jr - check brown on cartoon (maybe lighter?) Panorama Screen - Mario's Bombs Away - check logo red Panorama Screen - Popeye maybe misaligned compared to rest Panorama Screen - Snoopy maybe misaligned compared to rest Super Color - maybe misaligned (should Nintendo be central?) Super Color - Crab Grab - is the box colour too dark? Crystal Screen All - re-cut logo Crystal Screen All - maybe create a black LCD window (as opposed to drop shadow) Crystal Screen - Balloon Fight - maybe thicken LCD characters Crystal Screen - Balloon Fight - model number letters too thin Multi Screen - Pinball - re-create logo micro vs. systems - Donkey Kong 3 / Hockey - re-cut DK logos (also used else where) New Wide Screen - Mario The Juggler - re-cut logo micro vs. systems - the black on the controllers seems to have depth shading Table Top - finish replacing French for English on units All LCD's - maybe layer mask the grey backgrounds for consistent background colour Maybe Re-cut "G&W", "Multi Screen", "Wide Screen" and "Panorama Screen" logos
