#Blog Game restoration episode 2

So I recently got my hands on a copy of Home Alone 2 for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. A usually not that great game/super rare and expensive title.

As a fan of these two classic Christmas films and fan of the first game on the same system, I always wanted to grab this one. But the fact this was super expensive never really motivated me to get it.

But I recently found someone selling this one with an universal game case+cheap print of the cover on a pretty cheap and affordable price. So I finally jumped the gun. 

What arrived was the game with an awful universal game case and really bad print of the front cover only...

So I decided to take it into my own hands to restore this one:

 Ugh..

 

 

The only authentic aspect is the actual game cart.. 

 

 

This reprint is so bad it's both blurry and pixelated. ..

So I remade the cover in photoshop with the cover from the DVD release. I updated it according to online scans, made a better side design, etc.

And here's the end result with a brand new Sega game case (thanks to PixelHeart for these!):

I always "brand" these. My goal here is not to pass these mockup recreations as authentics. But just to revamp my collection to have things look nice and proper.

That's it!

 And to end on a completely different note,

Now that Disney acquired the Home Alone franchise (with the 20th Century Fox bid), they quickly rushed a new sixth (6th???) film to cash in Xmas time:

I still wish they'd gone with the rumored Macaulay Culkin-return sequel.. Sigh..
