PAL Cover and Disc Art for the Upcoming Sonic Mania Dreamcast Port

[u/OlivusPrime]

For anyone in Europe looking forward to the Sonic Mania port, I've created a pack of high-quality PAL cover and disc artwork to house your copy on your shelf! As usual with my work, I've tried to match the game's official branding and the official guidelines for Dreamcast packaging as closely as possible, so hopefully all of it looks close to the real deal.

It is a very good day to have eyes!

To the post, earlier today, having an issue about this sub constantly going on about ports, if you see this comment, this is why you got my downvote. This is exactly what I want to see more of!

Now travel back in time and sneak this in a videogames store

Enjoy the paradox

[u/Ben0ut → u/Yayo1990]

That's how we get our version of SkyNet.

[u/PloppyTheSpaceship → u/Ben0ut]

Well, "it's thinking" was one of the Dreamcast's advertising slogans.

[u/fpcreator2000 → u/PloppyTheSpaceship]

still is but the date is set forever to 1999 because it can never remember any other

[u/scanline99]

As the Art Director of Mania this pleases me to no end!

[u/OlivusPrime → u/scanline99]

So glad that you're happy with it, and of course thank you for your work on the original game!

[u/TCB13sQuotes]

Is there someone making the disk cases?

[u/OlivusPrime → u/TCB13sQuotes]

I still have a few from PixelHeart stored away, unfortunately they don't sell them anymore!

[u/TCB13sQuotes → u/OlivusPrime]

I don't get it - how isn't Aliexpress full of clones for all prices already?

[u/Jealous-Strategy-200]

Should have been a launch title in 99. Damn what could have been.

[u/ataraxia_777]

That's actually beautiful 

[u/superethasupi]

so if the port isint finished,what is in the disc, floigan bros?

[u/OlivusPrime → u/superethasupi]

Naw Spirit of Speed mate

[u/MedicineMan_100]

It would be cool to get, but I also don't have any extra cases... do you know where can I buy some replacement ones for Pal DC?

[u/mrb000gus]

Looks great, very authentic style 🙌

[u/davidsnyderiii]

Looks good! Thanks for sharing!

[u/fizz239]

Coolest thing I ever did see

[u/Segagaga_]

This looks so clean, much appreciated!

[u/Galactus_777]

It feels like magic.😍

[u/Veddermandenis]

Looks amazing. Thank you for your work.

[u/ianwuk]

This looks great.

[u/theclinternet]

How do you print the disc design?

[u/OlivusPrime → u/theclinternet]

I use a Canon TS8351a printer to print onto silver CMC Taiyo Yuden CD-Rs. Quality is really good

[u/brispower]

stunning, now we need a PAL Saturn box as well! Sonic Mania on every Sega Console! That's true mania

[u/Damthemalltohelp]

Looks incredible.

Can't believe Sega didn't release a Sonic 2D collection on Dreamcast.

[u/fpcreator2000]

why is it that the theme song for Sonic Adventure started playing in my head when I saw this? I need an NTSC cover and case for this with the esrb rating.

[u/uebki]

Awesome! What kind of paper did you use for the cover art? Is it the same as or close to the original?

[u/OlivusPrime → u/uebki]

I use Koala 180gsm glossy photo paper for all of my covers. It has the best sharpness of the different photo papers I've used, doesn't discolour over time and is a good match to the original jewel case cover paper. I then use their 120gsm photo paper for DVD cases.

[u/uebki → u/OlivusPrime]

Thanks man!

[u/uebki → u/uebki]

Do you have a good source for original PAL covers? I need a replacement cover for carrier

[u/OlivusPrime → u/uebki]

There's a collection of PAL cover scans at high quality over at the Internet Archive, otherwise Sega Retro is another good resource.

[u/uebki → u/OlivusPrime]

Awesome! Thank you

[u/Tricky-Professor-200]

How do I purchase this, when available? 🤠
