Playstation font help.

edited June 2012 in Chit chat
Hi ho peeps.

Does anyone have any idea what the font they used on the spines of the PS1 UK games was called?

I got one for the original PS1 logo, just can't get the spine matched up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Fanks :D

    Have you tried What The Font? Scottie pointed it out a while back, it's rather handy. :smile:

    I think I've found it - Franklin Gothic Heavy - well, is pretty damn close :)

    I got a disc with Thrill Kill on it so thought I'd slap it in a spare box and make a cover for it :)

    Ooh, kinky! Always wanted that game. Used to be fairly common, but now there's no sign of it. Sigh.

    Me finally got Densha Da Go! Love it ta bits... erm, not quite the same sort of game as Thrill Kill tho. :D

    Your'e the sort of gal who should know this.... Did Postal and Sex Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll ever get released on the PSX? I need 'em in my collection so I does!

    Upload ya cover when it's done. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeez?

    I think I read somewhere that a lot of Thrill Kill's code went into Wu-Tang - Taste The Pain, also for PS1......been meaning to get a copy of both for some time now!

    I've got a copy of that too, but my PS1 was never chipped and I can;t seem to get it to work on an emulator, so my copy remains unplayed (I don;t even know where it is now either)

    I don't think you're missing much if I'm honest. I played Wu-Tang a few times on it's release and it got quite boring after a short while. That's why I'm not too fussed about missing out on playing Thrill Kill. It would still be nice to be able to say that I've played it though.

    The code was also used in X-Men Mutant Academy 1 and 2

    As a game... it's so-so. If it had hit the shelves it would have been considered worse on the gore front than Mortal Kombat... but without the playability. Still, it does have some of the most... colourful characters you'll ever see in a fighter.



    The 4 way mash up was pretty impressive for 1998 though.

    Oh alright :)

    I modded a NTSC front cover to the UK style and made the back cover modding text from a bit of a shabby cover.

    It will do... Oh and the 18 cert is in the right place, just to the right of the holo sticker on the physical case :)
