Title: Box art and manuals
Post by: Kon-Tiki on June 19, 2003, 07:05:18 AM

I'm looking for examples of the old Sierra gameboxes and the manuals. Looked at the boxes at Spacequest.net (http://www.spacequest.net), but that's only for Space Quest. Anyone know where I can take a look at the other boxes to see how they're made up (especially the art on them) and where I can see how the manuals look like and how they are set up?
Thanks.

I need a scanner.. then i'll be able to scan them in for you.  Best bet is to look up ebay, they always have pics as examples.

Mobygames (http://www.mobygames.com). Practically, I'd be able to scan them in, but I'm too lazy... Maybe, if you can't find some of them from Mobygames.

www.mobygames.com (http://www.mobygames.com) has loads of box covers for nearly all the old Sierra AGI and SCI games.

Eero: he seemed to be typing at the same time, but pressed 'post' just a bit later.

I know how the front should look like now (although I can't draw like that), but sides and back... that's not on mobygames. Nor are the manuals :-\

Thanks Omer, that Replacementdocs-site really rocks :)

Pika, I'll contact you for the box art, you've seen what my drawing abilities on a pc are, so I'd better not do it myself or will have to scan it in (and that pc has a broken disk drive :-\ )

Buzzlescut, thanks for the fonts. They'll be useful for the manuals.

I now know how the boxes should look like and what measurements they have, so the designing can start.
Now to take a look at those manuals to find out how they're made up...
