Did you print that yourself or buy it and frame it?





Nice.

Maybe resize the image or put it in spoiler tags?

I had it printed by photo box as a 14x11" poster then grabbed the gram in Tesco!

Came out really well! Need to decide what others to get! I asked on Reddit for a place to get high resolution images of the covers and was pointed to the cover art project site! Exactly what I was after

http://www.thecoverproject.net
 
:D yea thanks! Just need to think of which covers to get! Metroid etc always looked good! Bit tricky on photobox to get it cropped to fit there print sizes, I would prefer to have the whole image including the mega drive strip on the left but that meant cutting out other bits!

Another site may offer better variety here
 
I'm totally going to do this! great shout on that site. I have a massive empty wall in the spare room that I was looking for prints for.

Time to ressurrect my lost youth :P
 
I was thinking of having to scan my own covers in but this site seems to have taken all the work out of it :) has different region covers too by the looks of things! I was just thinking of maybe one from each system or something!
 
Also Tesco 14x11 frame came in the wood colour as above or black,white and silver so plenty of choice! Frames were on sale when I nipped in yesterday

I was annoyed missing out on Saturn - I really wanted to play Panzer Dragoon Saga and Guardian Heroes back then.

Well you still can, just need to take out a small loan first :p

Must admit i wouldn't mind a Saturn in my "collection" (if you can really call it that, more like a small gathering). Wouldn't mind getting a Dreamcast aswell.
 
Never had a Saturn, what sort of games does it have? Kirby, Sonic etc?

Still contemplating a Mega Drive again. Bought one with my ex stepdad for £10 from a guys house years ago.. ;_;

And god knows what happened to my C16 (I think it was) and 3 black bags full of games my mums friend and daughter bought over, had the floppy disk holders and everything.. Good times as a kid!

sigh.

God knows mate! Long time back really some 10 years but yea! At the time I worked part time after school at our towns indie game store! He had a load of retro stuff out the back that was sold it asked for but not actively on display! So one break time we walked over there and grabbed the light guns, 2 steering wheels drag rally etc not sure what light game gun it would have been! Set it up in the common room, was great fun! But yea pretty sure it was just left there I can't completely remember but it ain't here :D lol

Not good as I'm starting to build up a small collection and it would have done nicely
