    A few additional ReignStumble Inspired Platform Icons

    View File

    This pack contains 4 additional "ReignStumble" inspired platform icons for those still rocking that original set. Like many I fell in love with those totally killer platform icons that are sadly no longer available. (I would absolutely love vector versions of those!)

    At the time I thought I could plug in the missing gaps in my platform collection by creating new one's from scratch but a few icons in I realised the sheer amount of work involved. I would truly love to know who the original artist was! I've had these kicking around for a while so thought I'd share them for anyone who still might find them useful  :) I don't have any plans to do any more as I've moved themes but I did the Atari Joysick as my generic "platform" which seemed to work pretty well.

    Nintendo Game & Watch 2D Boxes

    Nintendo Game & Watch 2D Boxes

    View File

    This pack contains 2D Box Art for all 60 of the "Nintendo Game & Watch" Titles (56 are currently emulated in MAME) with 98% of them made from original hi-res box scans and / or photos. When trying to import the Nintendo Game & Watch platform I realised that many of the exisiting but still very cool scans or images of the original boxes were missing or needed some love, so I decided to create my own set of box art from scratch for both 2D and 3D versions.

    Some of the original boxes and box scans are understandably in pretty rough shape after four decades, so I've cleaned them up a substantial amount but there are still some imperfections which I left there to preserve the original box as much as possible. So expect some folds, creases, tears, sticky tape residue and smudges but I think it gives them all a bit of character :) I'll update if I can source some really good quality scans of less battered cartons.

    When I started this I probably didn't realise there was so many different sized boxes used depending on the game or series so I've done my best to represent these as authentically as possible whilst keeping a consistent width and reasonable file size. Files are currently named as per MAME 0.231 (with a few guesses for future titles) 

    Hopefully you like them :)

    RELATED ARTWORK

    WANTED

    • Any hi resolution scans (300dpi or better preferred) or very large photos of the original "Crystal Screen Series" boxes. Ideally I need the whole box, or at least front and sides which are captured directly front on. i.e. not photos from angles. I can fix perspective to a small degree and the bigger the better. There are "re-created boxes out there". Would love to find some original box scans for these if at all possible. 

    MISSING BOXES & VARIANTS

    • This set only includes Nintendo Game & Watch titles and not other handhelds that are often packaged up as Game & Watch such as Mattel, V-Tech and other non Nintendo games (often contained in the very impressive MADrigal simulation set!)  I might get around to those at some point as there is a lot of lovefor them, but finding complete high resolution original artwork scans and photos is not easy! (Especially side box art!). There are also country variations, box variant so we'll see how we go if the demand is there :)

    Nintendo Game & Watch 3D Boxes

    This pack contains 3D Box Art for all 60 of the "Nintendo Game & Watch" Titles (56 are currently emulated in MAME) with 98% of them made from original hi-res box scans and / or photos. When trying to import the Nintendo Game & Watch platform I realised that the existing (but great) 3D Boxes didn't match the same angle / orientation as my other systems and a few titles were missing so I decided to create my own set of box art from scratch.

    More ReignStumble style platform images

    I took a stab at adding a few more Platform images to go with the amazing ones provided by ReignStumble
    (found here - https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/file/130-reignstumbles-console-artwork-pack/ )

    These are in no way nearly as good as the originals, but they suffice for my purposes and perhaps someone else will find them useful. They are a combination of kitbashing some of the existing icons and judicious use of photoshop with some of my own additions. All credit to ReignStumble and the orginal artist(s).

    Sadly I really struggled when trying to make other more unique consoles (they just didn't make the cut) and without having access to the original photoshop / illustrator files (or whatever the original artist used to create them) I doubt I will do many others... if any :(

    Truly this is fantastic. I have created a few systems myself which I will share once I have them squared away. I'd have loved to have gotten hold of the original vectors (which were unbelievable) as I could have filled the platform gaps far more easily. It's a great shame they are no longer available. Even as a graphic designer by trade myself, these take a really, really long time from scratch so I really appreciate your work.
