I am working hard on finishing the Guide. Most of the writing is done. I have a lot of pictures in place. Some pages are even done. I do need a bunch of pictures and hope that some of you guys can help me. If you can supply me with any of the following pictures either by email at tbone1892001(at)hotmail(dot)com or posting here, I'll include you in the Special Thanks/ Contributors page. Don't worry if I have more than one picture of that item, better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it plus I'd really like to have all of John Donzilla's box designs which were at least 3-4 for each game.

In addition, anyone who helps with these pictures will get a homemade overlay (ie, Pitchers Duel, Protector 2.0, VecFahren, Vec Sports Boxing, maybe even other options)

Do you just want box pictures or the cart, overlay, etc. as well?

Yeah, let me know out of my list what you need; right now I'm just doing cartridge shots.
Also, in regards to the Genesis controller, are you accepting pics of third party controllers? I don't have a modified Genesis controller by Sega, per se, but two of the third party ones.

The only game I have is Thrust, and VectorX said he can take the picture of this game :x Anyway, I'm curious to see the final guide, it looks promising Keep up the good work!  |

Box, manual and cartridge together is fine. With John Donzilla, he did many designs and I'd like to chronicle as many of them as I can. For example....
Patriot seems to have 2 white box versions, 1 blue box version and his final grid version.
Protector/YASi seems to have at least the Manu cover with Michele's wraped Vectrex, a YASI creature cover and at least the grid version.
I believe John Donzilla only used 3rd party controllers. Either Super Pad or Innovation or both.
Richard's Berzerk Dog Tag is blue with the engraved Berzerk Drone on it.

I believe John Donzilla only used 3rd party controllers. Either Super Pad or Innovation or both. I have a Super Pad and actually a Sega controller (I just forgot). Richard's Berzerk Dog Tag is blue with the engraved Berzerk Drone on it. I never heard of it! Ok, it'd probably be a good idea for people to list what they will contribute as not to waste time on duplicates. Here's what I'm sending, and note all the ones that read "no instructions" means the printed ones in booklet form/the instructions are on the back of the boxes: All Good Things (original? Intellivision cart w/instructions) Gravitrex Plus (late version/long box says CGC, no instruction booklet) Moonlander (original, I'm pretty sure, instructions) Nebula Commander (later version/long box says CGC, kind of purple label/no instructions) Protector/YASI (original photoshopped version w/instructions) Sectis (non-First Edition standard black cart) Space Frenzy (original, I'm pretty sure/no instructions [since it never had any to the best of my knowledge]) Spike Hoppin' (original? Intellivision cart w/instructions) Thrust (late version/long box says CGC/no instructions) V-Frogger (late version/long box with CGC/no instructions) Vaboom/Vectrace (late version/long box with CGC/no instructions) Vecmania (original? Intellivision cart w/instructions, not signed or numbered) Vectopia (original? instructions, but with modern day cart [not Intellivision]) Vector Vaders (later version/box has screenshot, rather than original "Vector Vaders" only text/no instructions) John Donzilla's modified Genesis controller John Donzilla's modified Starpad controller |

Just edited my post, as it turns out the Vector Vaders box isn't a long one, although it's still the later edition one where it shows the screenshot, rather than the original "Vector Vaders" text-only version. So if anyone has that, and/or with the instruction booklet, feel free to send that/those in to tbrd.
I also edited tbrd's first request post, as Vector Vaders was on there twice.

I received a picture with a version of All Good Things I wasn't aware of. So, it doesn't hurt to have extra pictures sent in. Plus, I will be adding a gallery for each game, so multiples are good. This also resolves something that was bothering me. The fact that I like the pictures so you can see look at them all at once with descriptions but also be able to make them larger to see details, which I wasn't able to do before.
One of the problems when I started this project is that there are so few pictures out there for some games. There are no pictures on the internet for some games, even common ones. So, one of the goals was to add some brand new quality pictures for viewing and comparing.
BTW, I prefer that pictures be wide view, left to right, rather than tall view, up to down. But its really not a big deal.

Potato quality - These are from my old website:   Are you doing all the variations of CGE/MB commercial box, manual and cartridges? |

The original plan was not to include original releases. It has been covered previously and this is a large endeavor in itself. I may add a section on original releases later, just as I plan to do a section on homebrew accessories next. But at the moment, no.
Your pictures are better than nothing. Until now, I didn't have OCD with the Vectrex shell. A lot of people either got it when it first came out or they got it from someone else when they first got it. Or they have the Collectors Edition.

Sectis (non-First Edition standard black cart)... did those of us who pre-ordered get the clear case, and the rest get it in a standard black case then?
If I'd known you needed Cube Quest, I would have taken a shot with the rest of the games I did today.
I'm aware of many of the variations that a lot of the homebrew titles came in (especially John's releases) but it will definitely be interesting to check a few that I'm unaware of in due course.

Yeah, we discussed this one Facebook - I have no idea when I switched over to the repro shells. Didn't note it and don't have a ratio. FWIW, I don't have an eBay photo of OCD in the INTV shell so I think probably all eBay sales where in repro cases. So they shouldn't be any more rare than the INTV cases. They just didn't go to early-adopters. |
