All the repros

[playgeneration]

Since a couple of people have asked, heres all the repro inserts ive made. I think Chaotic is starting uni very soon, so who knows when these are going to get made i really want them too











Ive also done a bunch of Snes and Megadrive games artwork for him too. I made a megadrive Prince of Persia 2 insert about a day after the prototype rom had first been released.

those are really nice ;D I wish I had the technical know how to lend a hand in the project, I could certainly print all the covers on photo paper if that would help? and donate a load of boxes and carts, if there needed?

How high quality can you make printouts, good as original Master System inserts? As thats what i was aiming for, theres also stickers and manuals to do aswell. It was getting print outs that has delayed the whole project for such a long time, i made all those inserts at least a month ago. I hope Chaotic has the time to put carts together now, would be a shame for this not to happen, especially after all the huge amount of time i spent on making these inserts, stickers and manuals.

I have an epson photo printer, and I have fujifilm premium photo paper, satin not glossy, ive got 8 boxes of 20 sheets, usually £12.99 per box but office world was selling some off at £4 per box so I bought the lot! had it ages. Its ink that will cost abit, If you send me a file to print I could post you it back to see if its good enough?

[playgeneration]

I dont have any of the files, they all got lost when my hard drive crashed. Lukily Chaotic has all the final PNG files of these inserts, ill have to ask him to send me them on CD

[rupert]

What dpi are they? I could print one of my scans and send you that in the meantime, just to see if there good enough.

[playgeneration]

Ive done them all at 900 dpi

[rupert]

so you want it printing at 900? that will use a hell of alot of ink, it might be cheaper to get them done at Professional place, I'l give one a go though, I'l use 3rd party ink and see if thats good enough. epson is £20 per cartridge

[playgeneration]

I think printing on home inkjet printers would be too expensive, the ink for them is stupidly priced. Hold off on printing any test pages for the moments. The 20em1 manual should arrive soon from Onyx, and it shouldnt take me long to create an insert from that, so you can print one of those out for yourself as a test

[rupert]

3rd party ink is only £4 per cart so if the colours are good enough it wouldnt be too bad. my work have a reprographics department in manc city centre which I think i'm able to use but I'm not sure what they have or the cost. I could look into it if my cheap ink is poo

[Kiff]

What size are they? I have a colour laserjet at work that prints mad pictures, I dont have any satin paper though but if you wanna send me a few sheets rupert i can print some test ones off - Also theycost ..... £0

[rupert]

Okay, If you both PM me your address I can sort it out, I may need to buy a couple of A4 card envelopes so It might not be untill towards the end of the week.

At least this gets the ball rolling, I'm sure everyone on here would be very keen to play thease games and get them in there collection and as authentic looking the better.

I didn't know that you were planing a reproduction of Super Tetris!

That's great!

[Sinistral]

That's the problem with this country, seems most reproduction is unplanned.

That all looks great, well done playgen.
