I love auctions like these. It is for a disc that contains nearly 5 gigs of production artwork for the King’s Field and King’s Field II PlayStation games. This is an archive of all the high-res production artwork and layouts for all of the packaging, advertisements, retailer data sheets, posters, strategy guides, disk labels, flyers, and more. There are numerous items that have never been seen by the public such as preliminary key art and logos, as well as data sheets given only to retailers.
These are the high-res files that would be used to print the materials from. These are QuarkXpress, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop. They are fully editable, high-res and print ready.
Some of the things in this archive include original source files for:
Original long box packaging
Alt long box packaging with callout for Phone card
Jewel case packaging
Posters
Game disk artwork
Data sheets for retailers (some depicting pre-production box art)
Instruction manuals
Ads and “advertorials”
Brochures
Contests
High res key art with unused variations
Co-op advertising inserts (went in some EA games)
Promo video artwork
Maps (both raw “ram dumps” and textured game maps to go in the map book)
Trade show booth flyers
Raw text (may differ from final)
Internal memos/communication regarding artwork production
While something like this would be super cool to have, I’d definitely want to make sure this copy is unique and just a DVDR of some torrent that has been released somewhere.
These would have been recorded on CD-R or WORM discs being in the mid ’90’s. Certainly not DVD-r.
I personally wouldn’t pay $250 for a $1 DVD-r copy.
Originals would look like this:

Unless this is being sold by Tim Lindquist himself, I would not buy it.
That is definitely Tim selling this. Don’t ask me how I know (as that will come forth in due time), but this is certainly legit.
But who’s to say he’s not just going to relist another after this sells?
That would greatly reduce the value of the 1st purchase.
True…he doesn’t mention anything about passing along exclusivity rights to the images or anything of the sort…
I am not interested in a disc of production files. However I just watched a video of that Snacks & Jaxson arcade game he has for sale. This is one crazy game. Never heard of it but it looks pretty fun.
I’m into box artwork. I already have same files for PS1 but never seen for the longbox edition. I’d be willing to pay, not 250 but still some, even for a copy.
mb7241 says he knows this person. I’d be willing to contact you if you know this seller. Is this matter open for discussion?
Anyone can help?
