Title: Unwrapped map image of a NES box?
Post by Thermoptic on 01. Aug 2007 at 14:10

Hi! When i read Nesworlds article about the PowerPak and that the package didnt include a standard Nintendo cardboard box. I thought that i would design a custom cover box that you could print and use for your PowerPak.
The only thing i need is an unwrapped map of a standard nes box. So its simple to print, cut, fold and use it as a real box. If you have an unwrapped image of a nes box please post if you are interested in this. thanks!

Hey

Actually I have a print of the Nightshade box sent to me by someone at Konami well over 10 years ago. I scanned it in a long time ago and cleaned it up and began working on a box for GrandTheftendo however I never really got much work done and the project is now on hiatus anyway as Brian is too busy with real life. My box project wasn't anything official for the release of GrandTheftendo, it was just me having some fun.

Anyway I'll see if I can find the file for you later today...

looks like this...

Thanks Martin! That scan would be great. many thanks if you can find the file.

The PowerPak cartridge sticker has the old black box design (tennis, ice climber excitebike etc) so im going to design it like the black box series. I dont have the PowerPak yet so I probably have to wait for it to match the design of the cartridge (or if someone have a scanned image of the PowerPak sticker)

Shit I'm lazy... I'll get around to it today and I'll also scan the powerpak label for you.

Must me the missing summer heat that's lowing me down ;D
(yeah we've had a shitty summer this year with nothing but rain)

No problems, there is no rush! And thanks for the scan of the powerpak label!
Just hope that i can get a copy of the PowerPak when the next batch is released.

Here's the box template made from that real size print of the Nightshade box I received from a very generous person at Konami in the very early days making this website..

The file is a self extracting RAR archive (the BMP file is 8megs)

The scan should arrive shortly.

.... here you go.

Cool idea! It'd be fun to have boxes for all the retrozone stuff :)
