First two in the New Wide Screen Series below.

Took a lot of time to re-do the cartoons... Mario's Cement Factory especially as I ended up re-cutting the cartoon (took 5 hours).

I've also gone through all the Multi Screen games and re-worked the LCD Backgrounds now. Most needed Cyan / Magenta / Yellow / Green channels playing about with, but some needed layer masks, Tree Browns isolated, some colours changing (a lot of the MAME scans - which to be fair are from the units themselves - had black print...and it doesn't look like a lot of the box artwork did) etc. Anyway - a Before, After and the original Box Scan from Mario Bros. below.

A few more of the New Wide Screen. These are harder as they have artwork that I've tried upscaling...but still doesn't look as good as just expanding out in Photoshop.

But I've improved the Manhole  and Super Mario Bros logos and tidied up everything else I could.

First couple of the Table Top games. I need to try and perspective warp the English text over the units (as these are French)...but want to get the main template / 4x Table Tops done first. These are taking time though as the cartoons take a lot to clean up (and the DK Jr logo was a pain too).

Mario's Cement Factory.

Again - to note - I did do the whole G&W series back in 2021-22, but I really only had PowerPoint and a few other tools. I'm a lot better at Photoshop now, I have an upscaler, I'm vectorising assets where I can and I'm finding fonts / manipulating them to match the original artwork better....plus I'm mastering these at Width:7680 by XXXX.

Will you be releasing a full pack of these?

Boxing from the micro vs. system series (I'll do the SuperColor after these 3).

Realised the right controller words SWAY and RETURN were the wrong way round

Crystal Screen games below. Definitely WIP! (but I am making progress). I've isolated the plastic unit and split the border, buttons and LCD surround so that I can perspective warp the front and LCD in). The Crystal Screen logo probably needs to be made from scratch. Getting there though.

Re-cut the SMB plastic unit border as it seems different to the other two. Replaced the drop shadow with a better visual. Crystal Screen logos recreated

Current "To Do" list once I've re-created all 60 (to do before I start on the box backs / sides / logo's)

  • Re-cut "G&W", "Multi Screen", "Wide Screen" and "Panorama Screen" logos
  • All LCD's - maybe layer mask the grey backgrounds
  • Silver Series - check Fire's blue colour
  • Multi Screen All - bottom clasp (maybe needs to be extended to left 1 or 2 pixels)
  • Multi Screen - Pinball - re-create logo
  • New Wide Screen - DK Jr - check red on Logo (maybe darker?)
  • New Wide Screen - Mario The Juggler - re-cut logo
  • Super Mario Bros Special - re-cut ribbons
  • Super Mario Bros Special - check ribbon ends
  • Table Top - finish replacing French for English
  • 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
  • Super Color - maybe misaligned (should Nintendo be central?)
  • Super Color - Crab Grab - is the box colour too dark?
  • micro vs. systems - Donkey Kong 3 / Hockey - re-cut DK logos (also used else where)
  • micro vs. systems - the black on the controllers seems to have depth shading
  • 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
