Revision as of 15:21, 6 June 2014

So I guess the plan is to replace this page with something more... elegant. Problem is, I'm not sure how best to handle the scans

doing something like this:

Box Name Date Price Console Cables Controllers Games Notes
Mega Drive, EU
SMDS1 EU Box Back.jpgNospine-small.pngSMDS1 EU Box Front.jpg
Cover
Mega Drive >= 1991 £ ? Pad MD PAL I.jpg

x2

Sonic the Hedgehog

is a bit messy, and I don't know where I'd put manuals/warranty cards/whatever without this getting even more cluttered. Ideally I want to reduce the amount of scrolling, but I don't want to upset the scan tracker.

This solution will need to apply to all systems, including the Saturn which has its own thing going on (which I'm not keen on either - we'll have a lot of stretched templates when manuals start being collected).

Advice/solutions? -Black Squirrel (talk) 04:02, 4 June 2014 (CDT)

Oh and also - to save costs, Sega often used a "standard" console box and wrappd it in a cardboard sleeve for special editions. I've been ignoring this fact up until now, but I imagine it'll come back to haunt us in the future for whatever reason. Presumably we'll want a way to manage that too (and again I think it'll clutter up the scanbox template if I start adding 3909342 fields for all the different box sides plus the sleeve sides - it wasn't really built with this stuff in mind). -Black Squirrel (talk) 12:25, 4 June 2014 (CDT)
