Does anyone else make their own Atari 2600 "boxes" using Universal Game Cases? I've found that look really nice on shelves.
Anyway, I've been making my own cases by printing covers from "The Cover Project" (which is a great place, by the way) and inserting them into Universal Game Cases. Unfortunately, there are only 122 Atari 2600 covers in their database.
I've tried to make my own covers in Word, but I admittedly have very limited skills to accomplish the task. I've tried using the box scans from right here on AtariAge, but the scans obviously only include the front and the back of the boxes and not the "side" like on The Cover Project, which is important since you are looking at the "side" when you are displaying the cases on shelves. I've tried making my own "sides" by opening the front or back box scan in paint, copying the title of the game, and then rotating and resizing it to the width of the standard size. However, the results leave a lot to be desired. It's just not a true representation of what the original box looked like from the side.
Anyone have any advice?
Thanks in advance.
