Console Box Replicas/ Reproductions

[Leonardobiagi]

Thanks for your continuous support and all your work on this project.

Only the imagination, to have some day, a complete, great looking Sherlock Holmes game in my hands, make me happy. 

Thank you Tom, it's a great project and we all take pleasure in doing so.

Having a Master Series Game released would be an INCREDIBLE addition to the Videopac library and might attract new people to join the scene more than any other release.
Whoever is capable to release this, should do so.

Thanks immergruen, we're working hard on it, it may take a little time but it's gonna get the release.

I will gladly organize a US shipping group. Just let me know!

Thanks ScottyDont00, I think every help is welcome, I don't know how it works since I'm new to all of this, but when the time comes, we'll talk about it with you.

Hello evebody!!! Another update and another interest check! We're way past halftime on the project. We're 99% satisfied with the box, 90% satisfied with the board, the overlays are looking great (we are still choosing the style and button format), the chips are on hold and the instructions are starting to take form. Like I said before there's nothing physical to show, but we're up and running and really excited for the outcome!

The interest check is if there's anybody who would like the Videopac version, so I could adapt the box, the overlay (the odyssey version is much wider) and the instructions manual. Those are easy to adapt.

Thanks again for your time!

Hi, I would probably be interested in BOTH versions and might not be alone with that. If i had to chose, I'd rather prefer the Videopac version though.

Aaaand here I come with another box request...

Since I don't own any videopac master strategy games, I've been researching for some boxes so I can make one of the Sherlock's to look alike, but I can only find the front of the boxes on google, and one from the side. I've noticed that the videopac versions have videopac written on the side, so could any of you nice souls that owns one of the videopac master strategiy games (it can be any game of the three released in any language) send me some pictures of the sides and bottom, it would be very helpful and I would be eternally grateful.

And another idea I had ( and I dont know if its a bold move, I haven't discussed with Rafa, the project leader) is that, when the project is ready and all the text is done, if anyone would like to translate it in their language and send it back to me, I would make the videopac in their own language. I noticed that since the videopac is the european version, there's a lot of different languages released, so I'd be willing to do that per request. We can do that interest check on the pre order. What do you guys think?

And please, please send me the pics.

Thanks again

Nice project!
How to use the board & tokens?

Would there also be a keyboard overlay for the G7400 console?

Hi Marc, how are you? I've tried to reach you through email, but never heard from you again...
I'm working on the tokens and Rafa is working on the board instructions (alongside Rene I think) but ultimately we'll get together to make the final adjustments, and all the help is welcome!

Would there also be a keyboard overlay for the G7400 console?

Hello Rene, for sure!!! From my part, anything that can be done, will be done... I just need de measurements from it, and maybe a picture so I can overlay it and make the buttons placements correctly. Maybe Rafa would have it?

hi, wouldnt different languages cause problems with the quantity of text being stored? an english text takes about 20% more letters when translated to german. i remember this was an issue when first console role playing games were released in german.

anyways
i would proudy offer my support. my mother tongue is german. i can translate from english and spanish.

I see what you mean. But what I meant was only for the box, instructions, overlays. I guess for those items we could adapt. If you would like I can send you the text from the back of the box so you can translate it to german and I'll make the art with all the text to see how it goes. I'll PM you with the text.

Great!! I checked that post before though. But I'll thank you in both. Thank you!! That was perfect. I also asked there how would "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" would be in Dutch.
I'll try to assemble a box this week and I think it'll have a harder paper. But let's see how it turns out.

Dutch name "De avonturen van Sherlock Holmes"
