Fool your friends, scare your local video game shop... It's the Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Genesis box paper craft thing! Okay, don't fool your friends and local game shop, you'd just come off as some sort of goofball. However, you can make it for your own amusement. Here's what you'll need:
- The files, available here
- A plastic Genesis or Mega Drive case and game cartridge, I used a like-new copy of Death Duel
- Two 8.5"x11" sheets of printer paper
- One 8.5"x14" sheet of printer paper, or whatever can fit a 7"x11" image
- Tape, plain or double sided
Print the cartridge sticker and instruction manual on the 8.5"x11" pieces of paper, cut on the edge. Fold the manual in half and place a piece of tape inside to keep it shut. Use double sided tape or loops of regular tape to stick the sticker to the cartridge. Print the cover on the larger piece of paper, trim and place in the Genesis box, place the cartridge and manual inside the box. Do the hokey-pokey and turn yourself about. That's what it's all about!
Next week: Make your own Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Game Gear box!

Okay, maybe not.
larious.
ReplyDeleteFinally, something interesting to do with that ESPN National Hockey Night game I got when I eBay'd a replacement Genesis.
ReplyDeleteGame gear box? Do it!
ReplyDeletecooooooooool
ReplyDeleteplease do it for the dreamcast
Better yet, show Sega that a PS3/360 creation would not be difficult
ReplyDeleteEU blue box design is needed now ^^
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome. If SEGA ever decides to sell Sonic 4 on Disc, they should sell it in throwback genesis covers made for modern systems and instead of holding a genesis cart, they should hold a disc instead, I kinda got inspired to edit the above example into this below.

ReplyDeleteIt would make a very nice display piece.

Hey Barry! I'd love to get a copy of the two mock up box arts, manuals and sticker for the Sonic the hedgehog art that you've custom made. Please e-mail me at jcamelo777@hotmail.com and I'll talk business with you. I'm willing to pay if your willing to get those two in my hands. I'll cover cost and shipping.
