GCE Vectrex Cartridge Art - Label Help

[Retro Goonie]

I'm currently working on new vector style and realistic style GCE Vectrex cartridge art, I know people like one over the other, and need some help with the last label I need to do...Mine Storm (USA).

 

I'm going for as close to 100% authentic as possible and I'm using USA style labels.

 

I've noticed:

USA labels have their own Vectrex logo, the GCE logo, squared corners and "Made in Hong Kong" text.

 

Europe labels have their own Vectrex logo, MB logo, rounded corners and "Made in Ireland" / "Made in Rep. IRE." text.

 

After searching the internet for reference pictures (Moby games, Gams FAQ, eBay, Google images etc...) I could only find a few images of the Mine Storm cart and it seems to have a mixture of USA and Europe styles?!?!

It has the USA Vectrex and GCE logos but has the Europe rounded corners and the "Made in Ireland" text?!?!?

 

Can anyone confirm that this was the only USA version?

or

Was their a USA 'Mine Storm' cart with a label that was the same style as the other USA labels?

I've been coming and going on this project but I'm pretty much done and almost ready to upload.

 

I never got any feedback on the Mine Storm Cart so just went with what art was available!

 

Here's a little preview

Great job for sticking at it. And the previews look good

Stick a little update in the Hyperspin Community United thread if you get a chance when your done. Hopefully we will starting adding links to other people's projects so they don't get lost in the forums and such.

Cool! I'll check out that thread.

Finding/cleaning/creating the labels is the tough part.

 

Creating the two cart templates was a bit of a chore but you only have to do it once 

 

Once a label is done, it only takes minutes to add it to both templates...so I thought "Why not!"

Let me know when these are out! they look awesome!
