Hey all. For my VB collection, I’ve been displaying my games using this method, http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=79852 I think it’s a fantastic way to show off my games while keeping my cardboard boxes safe from damage (keeping the boxes separately in a plastic tub). From the site I have covers for the 14 NA games and V Tetris but was wondering if anyone out there was good with photo shop (I suck at it) that could make covers for Virtual Fishing, Inmouse, Virtual Lab, Space Invaders, SD Gundam, Virtual Bowling, and Space Squash. Also if possible, the Planet VB releases Bound High, Space Pinball, Faceball VB Prototype, and Bloxx (plus the other releases when they come out). I’d like to keep my collection uniform and if we could get these files out, others who enjoy this method of displaying their games without PS skills could also put them to use. Thanks in advance to anyone who could make these.

I did a cover for Space Squash, but i have no idea what to write on the back. I can’t translate the original back cover (here), and I… well, you don’t want some awkward, poorly worded sentences on your cover 😛

Please feel free to use the English translations that I made for the back of the box as a basis for your box. My translations can be found here:

http://www.planetvb.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=17681#forumpost17681

The translations that I made are very literal and don’t flow as smoothly as an English speaker would say it, so you may want to reword them a bit to make them flow more smoothly and naturally.

Thanks Benjamin ! I admit i didn’t search before asking 😛

But my problem is precisely that i’m not an english speaker, so i will not do any better than what you’ve purposely done.

Here, I revised the translations some, so that they flow more smoothly and naturally in English:

Another native English speaker humbly offers his attempt 😉

My pleasure, Craby. You did a great job on the rest of the cover.

One thing, though: why the extra space between the sentences and exclamation points? Is it an artifact of the font you’re using, or maybe the software you’re using? I know I didn’t put them in the copy I posted (in fact, I specifically removed them from your original).

[Craby]

I did because that’s how we use exclamation mark in french. I even had a doubt when reading your post and i went to check on official (but french) sources.

But I see that’s not how it works in english, I didn’t know. My bad ! 😛

From Wiki :

French

In French, next to marking exclamations or indicating astonishment, the exclamation mark is also commonly used to mark orders or requests: Viens ici ! (English: “Come here!”). A space (« espace fine ») is used between the last word and the exclamation mark.

(I can’t edit my previous posts and i feel bad spamming the topic)

Well, I guess we both learned something today! 😉 I wonder why you guys put the space… Probably to avoid confusion due to use of accent marks.

I don’t think anyone would be angry if you posted a changed file. In fact, why not post a “version française” as well? :thumpup: (Of course, then you’d have to translate all the other ones, too ;-))

On the other hand, I guess it wouldn’t be too hard for others to fix it themselves… I would fix and post it for you, but it’s already a JPEG 🙁

Because England needs to mess with us french since middle age, in every possible ways ! that’s why ! 😀
Sending us Flashboy carts and awesome music is just part of a bigger plan to invade us for good 😯

Excellent cover! You may want to change the serial to “VUE P VSSE”, though.

At once, sire !

You guys have been doing great! Love the covers. Just a few more need to be made. Should probably make a sticky with a link to the instructions, the link to where to buy the red cases from Nintendo, and each games cover to DL so anyone that visits this site can turn their own VB collection into something different, if they choose to. Personally, I appreciate everyone’s hard work so far! Now to finish up the remainder covers!
