New stickers for handheld games

Try this:

Clear your web browser's cache, and then right-click on the link above for MsPacMan and select save-as (instead of just clicking on it like you normally would). Your browser is just copying the bad .ZIP from your cache, you have to force it to re-download the file. I just did it myself and got the bad .ZIP, and when I forced it to re-download it it was okay, so I know the one up there now is good...

Hi there

I'm looking for these files, but these are no longer available...

Anybody has a copy of these files? If anybody can provide me with a copy of the Pacman files, I'll greatly appreciate that...

Regards

[Rik]

Heh, yeah, that server died long ago (well, the company shut it down). I'm uploading them now to a permanent location. I still want to clean them up someday, it'd be even more awesome if someone created vector art out of them (like Illustrator files or something), but I'm not sure that's in my skill set.

I've also scanned the Q*Bert stickers (since they all conveniently fell off my game... ). I'll post those up later if anyone needs them.

So, for now, these are going to be the original .JPGs I received several years ago. They don't look bad, I'm just hoping to make them better some day... (Or someone else is welcome to help out!)

I'll post the link in a bit (not hard to guess I suppose, but I don't want anyone trying to download partial files while they are uploading... )

Okay, they are all up if anyone wants them:

Hi Rik

Thanks a million. I recently bought a working Coleco Pac Man, but needs some cleaning. All the stickers are gone, so that's the reason of my request.

I have a friend who is savvy on graphics software, let's see if he can vectorize these stickers.

Regards and thanks again.

Hi Rik
Thanks for the stickers ! I really needed these !
It would be very nice to upload the Q*Bert's as well, because mine are seriously damaged.
THANKS !!

Hi

Here are some pics of my Pac Man restoration, the only original label I keep is the control panel one:





I printed the labels on an adhesive paper using a laser printer. Later I put a protective transparent adhesive sheet on them. Then I put the labels on the tabletop.

The result is good enough for me. The dimensions where correct, but the colors do not match 100% compared with the colors on the control panel label.

Anyway, I'm pretty happy with the result.

Thanks Rik for sharing the files, you can see those were put to good use.

Regards

Wow, that's great. Did you clean up the images at all, or just print them exactly like I uploaded them? They look great! Getting the color to match with the overlay might be tough, and I'm not sure it did 100% originally anyway since the overlay is printed on plastic...

That reminds me, I have the Pac-Man overlay scanned too, I forgot to include that in the package (I think). If anyone needs that, let me know.

I'll get the Q*Bert ones up too...

Hi

I didn't clean the images, I just used them just the way they are available.
I'm interested on the Pac Man control panel overlay scan too, please upload it.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for those images.

I'm in an odd spot where I have one Mint In box pristine Coleco Pacman that doesn't work mechanically, one ugly pacman that works perfectly and a decent Donkey Kong that's missing the battery cover.

The logistics say that I do a little swap-a-roo on the pacmans so the working innards are in the pristine case, which leaves me with a crappy Pacman case and with Pacman battery cover, and a Donkey Kong in need of a battery cover...

Now, with that, I can use the Pacman battery cover and print out the Donkey Kong instructions.
