VIC-20 restored game cartridge box art
Posted: Sun Apr 14, 2024 7:37 am
Hi all! Long time lurker with a new account. I've just finished recreating / restoring the front box art for the games Commodore released for the VIC-20.
There was a lot of work involved - the reference scans I sourced were relatively low resolution, meaning the box graphics, logos and typography all had to be rebuilt (fonts matched, each game description rebuilt line by line to match the original (including font inconsistencies and interesting justified text alignments!), sleeve artwork upscaled and tidied up, colour corrected, scan perspectives fixed, card textures added. I also decided to use the white-borded window style for all of these, although for some purists you way want see them without, or specific regional versions. Let me know.
You can find them here on my GitHub - https://github.com/20GotoTen/Vic20CartBoxCollection
All othe covers are PNGs at 644px wide. I can export these at a much higher resolution if there's a desire for it.
I'm moving on to restore all of the front covers for the Ocean and Imagine titles released. if you could help in providing reference scans for these, please get in touch.
If you have any other VIC-20 requests, or can help in providing reference scans, let me know. There is much more work to do. For too long the VIC-20 has been neglected from an artwork perspective, I'd like to do my bit.
I hope you find these useful and enjoy them as much I did creating them. Thanks.
