I tell you folks, you have not experienced Tex Murphy until you have played them on the Atari 2600. Wooooo, I think the cartridges speak for themselves.

Well they did have to sacrifice the graphics and sound a tad.

Hey glad you guys enjoy, I don't know why I never thought about making it a desktop image before but sure here's a higher res picture:

It's 3000x2250 pixels, no clue how many megapixels that is but it's big so it should look a little better as a desktop image. Anyway, enjoy.

Well if I didn't know any better, judging by those textures you modelled this baby in 3DS Max.

You bet your butt Cub. Good eye, I do have a tendency to "borrow" images from the Googleweb as well. Depends how quickly I need something done. However if it's for commission I actually have to go out and make the textures myself. Love digital SLR's . . . now I just have to buy one.
Oh and by the way the labels are a web program that makes Atari labels online:

Play around with it and have some fun.

However, I might also add that those labels might be upside down.
I had an Atari 2600 (cripes I am getting old and now I realise it) and the cartridge labels would be upright when insrted in the console, which means the bottom of the label should be facing the microchip side, and not the top of the cartidge (where the thin label is) like you have it. Also based on that layout the thin label is upside down too.
But that's just be being uber picky. Most folks would probably never even notice.

Actually Cub that's a good point. I thought about that ahead of time and I made sure that I based it directly off of the Atari carts from my collection. Now I can't speak for the carts outside of North America but I know the ones here looked just like the ones I reproduced. Here's a quick pic:
