Atari Reborn Contest

Does the box have to be for the Atari 2600 or can it be for any Atari system, like the Jaguar? I'm thinking about using the template for the Jaguar because it gives more design freedom.

I'll give it a go.

So if I posted a box today and added the tags it would be considered an entry?? Or do we all summit on the 18th and start from there??

You can post it any day before the deadline as long as you tag it. And welcome back.

Are we aloud to do orignal Xbox games if there is a sequel on the 360? It just seems stupid doing a box for the 3rd game released in the series when theres a earlier one.

Just the Atari 2600. But you can use any template you want. It doesn't have to be an official-looking one. I hope to see some creative re-imagining there.

Also, be sure to look at the different styles of templates. There were a LOT - every publisher basically had their own. http://www.atariage.com/box_styles.html?SystemID=2600

No, just the consoles listed - the point is that they are modern games.

Ah ok, thanks for the link. I didn't realize there was so much diversity among the cover designs for the 2600.

Anyone can participate? I have an idea in mind and I would like to use it, even though I still have to finish my Brutal Legend box art..

I know I have no chance in winning but it still was fun making the box and doing something outside of my comfort zone.
