Title: Gate olf Thunder Rear Insert?
Post by: Bernie on March 05, 2014, 01:02:33 PM
Hey, I know someone here made an insert for this game that was the Duo pack-in.  I seem to remember a few of em actually, and I THOUGHT I had saved all that mess...  Can someone point me in the right direction?   ](*,)

Thank you so much. I was going to print my own disc case insert by using a photoshop template, but yours can't be topped.

These are pretty cool, did anyone get them printed up on the same kind (or similar) card stock for authenticity?   For years I have suffered not knowing which of my two label-less games was Ys Book I & II and which was my Gate of Thunder 4-in-1 CD!  Speaking of which, did someone make one for Ys?  I got mine with my Turbo Duo, so now that I think of it, I actually don't know if the original release of Ys has a proper back insert.  I assume it does, right?
Title: Re: Gate olf Thunder Rear Insert?
Post by: Necromancer on March 06, 2014, 07:36:50 AM
Sparky has professionally printed inserts for both GoT and Ys: clicky (http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=9393.0).  Also,  the retail version of Ys did indeed come in a complete case with back insert (and a map!).
Title: Re: Gate olf Thunder Rear Insert?
Post by: johnnykonami on March 06, 2014, 07:43:04 AM
Thanks for the link!  I'll have to think about ordering a couple some time.   Oh man, a map too?  I didn't get the CD-ROM attachment at all so I didn't even have a reason to buy CD games until I got the Duo, so I missed that boat.  I'm not too heartbroken about it though!

The map is neat but not at all helpful or necessary to play the game.  If you'd like to print out your own or just take a peek at it, Paul has a good scan of it available here (http://www.pcengine.co.uk/HTML_Games/Ys_I_II.htm) (scroll down to 'images').

Thanks for the peek!  I have beaten Ys I & II dozens of times on various consoles (most recently on Steam), but it's cool to see it.

I can see it now:

The ship gets really hot and as the engines shrivel, the pilot (white suit and all) ejects from the cockpit at 30mph.

Keith - give people credit when you repost their stuff.

Also, that's the old version and it's strangely low-res. I did some fixes a year later. Here's the original thread with proper PDF and TIF downloads in full res:

These look really good, thank you for making them!  (Even if it was a while back and I'm late to the party)  What's the ideal kind of card stock for printing these on?  I've had a couple of my old games and music CDs have the inserts shrivel/wrinkle up due to cheap paper and I'm sure moisture just from living in swampy Maryland.
Title: Re: Gate olf Thunder Rear Insert?
Post by: Necromancer on March 07, 2014, 07:23:30 AM
I laser print on 110lb card stock (no gloss) and lightly score the bend line for a nice, crisp corner.

The stock on real SCD inserts isn't very heavy. I think the waviness problem is that most consumer printers use too much ink (more $$ for Epson). I printed mine at Kinkos on regular gloss.  Looks great, feels almost like the real thing, and no warping or waviness since 2008.

Answer: No.

Post by: johnnykonami on March 07, 2014, 10:37:54 AM
The only waviness I've really noticed lately is a Legendary Axe manual I have, none of my Japanese games have this problem and all still look pretty great.  I can't seem to find my Alien Crush (I'll be heartbroken if I can't find it!) and Keith Courage box but I wonder if it's just a deal with early US game manuals.  My Blazing Lazers looks alright, not perfectly crisp but pretty good shape.  Trying to flatten the Legendary Axe one under a pile of books right now.

Some of my old Son May CD inserts have collapsed in on themselves, too, so I figure it's just what quality paper you choose.

Can't find your Keith Courage box?  Don't worry, no one else can find theirs either.

Holy shite! This would actually be a fun project: design a cardboard box for Keith Courage.

OK, I'm easily amused. Still, I actually like the comic-book style art for KC. I think the package design could look really kool. Too kool for the actual game, in fact.

Oops, I meant the manual, not the box.  Pretty sure there was a manual.  I know it didn't come with a box.

Yes, Keith had instruction manual, comic book, and a round sticky-sticker (instead if a plastic clip) to hold the HuCARD inside the jewel box.

I got my copy with the original TG-16, I can't remember exactly because it's gone MIA and I'm kinda wondering where it is.  It's been a while but I remember having it in a jewel case like the rest of my games.  I don't remember the sticker you are talking about but you make me wanna find that comic again!
 
Now Ninja Spirit, which if you bought separately surely had it's own box.  But I remember pretty clearly that you got only the card and the manual with the TurboDuo.

^^ almost brought a tear to my eye.

I was lucky enough to find a truly complete Keith Courage locally back in '09. I still need to read the comic. Sadly there is a big sticker on the front of the jewel case. Sounds like I need to get the hair dryer out.
