[Opethian]

bootleg maps!!!

[munchiaz]

this would be nice if put on cloth. Then placed in a frame to hang on the wall

I made a bootleg about a year ago when I got the game, its actually behind my monitor lol, here is a shot-

The color is a bit off on this print though

Also saw this on my camera from when I was showing off my GC paintjob on tcp, not the best pic mind you but neat to see these black systems together http://www.ektophase.com/TG16/Phase_GCTGSat.jpg

I could look into making some prints at officemax or something, I was thinking slightly bigger than the original with the boarder from my wallpaper. This could also help set apart the original from the repro.
The original is 8.5 x 11 with no boarder and is printed on colored paper.
Any color you see is the papers color and the print is just black and white/monochrome as far as I can tell, I could be wrong.
A repro would most likely be printed on white paper so that is another way to tell.
I'm just not sure how I would ship it if I did make some..rolled up in a box perhaps.

That would be cool. I would def buy one.

They wrote Y's in the map, lol.

Oops I forgot the apostrophe. I love how even NEC was confused about the game's name.

Hey, I see a Metal Gear Solid case down there! Fine taste in your gaming my good man.

[Sparky]

Ha, I was offering up my services in a joking manner but Phase you got the means as well so that sounds cool.

If it is a folded map you could just fold it like yours and it would make it easy to ship out, I may have some other options on stock if the colour is more a yellow but not to take away from your offer man, I could pass the info onto you.

Also putting a little disclaimer on it that it is "not an original" is all you need to do, well that's what I do

[Phase]

I wouldn't mind giving it a go
I've already got a cleaned 600dpi file ready to go and could get a few prototypes tomorrow.
I can post pics of them tomorrow next to the original and see what people think. could also test folding them

[HailingTheThings]

Would buy.

[bob]

it should get silkscreened on cloth

[xelement5x]

Would also buy, but you should make the logo say "Y APOSTROPHE S" to discourage flippers trying to pass it off as legit.

Who here will be the first to tattoo this map on their chest?

[Phase]

Well got a few tests ran off today.

these first test runs came off a little heavy on the contrast making it look a little dark.

Alternatively I could try to make more of a replica of the original as I found some very close colored paper.
The pic shows more of a difference than in real life and the map has aged 20 years so this could be right on.

Have not opened the paper pack yet, do you guys like the prints more or should I try and make it closer to the original on this standard sized colored paper?

Note: the original map did not fit in the jewel case folded

[HailingTheThings]

Personally, I think it looks just fine the way you've done thus far, doesn't hurt to be a little bigger than the original, ya know? Great job, man.
