Title: Action 52 (NES) cover art for UGC
Post by: leoryn363 on December 28, 2018, 03:25:55 PM
Has there actually ever been cover art made for Action 52 for the NES?   I have seen various scans around on the the forums of varying quality.

I would really love if we would be able to get a cover made for this.  I hate having the loose cartridge sitting around.

Any help out there?

I have recreated most of this from scratch.  I think it came out really well. Took about 1 1/2 hours to do.

Let me know what you think:

I would like if this could be submitted to the archives.

My pleasure. I am happy to do requests provided I have the time.

Hi Arseen,

I am still getting this junk on the screen. I also can not post anything in the forums from Home just getting a Cloudflare 520 error.

I am at work and it seems to be fine.

I will do this cover. It looks interesting and will take a bit of time. Give me a couple of days.

Nice cover!

Just thought I'd point out a teeny tiny mistake...
In the English text the sentence that starts, "Try to get Billy Bob...", repeats on the next line

Thanks for that. I will adjust and re-upload to box. Check the box link in a few hours (I'm at work).

And if you could spend a bit more time cleaning up the dust I'd feel more comfortable uploading this to the site. That, and I'd say replace the Nintendo logo at the bottom of the spine with the Active Enterprises logo.

By Dust do you mean the little white dots on the front part in the black areas?

Absolutely. Even things like the patch of dirt near the ninjas fingers. Or the small scratch on the "A" or the two blotches on the "I" in the Action 52 logo. That's the kind of clean up that goes a long way when polishing up a cover. If you use Photoshop, the "Spot Healing Brush Tool" will make quick work off all of that for you!

Let me know if it still needs improvement.

Much better! Still a few spots here and there, but very minor. Nothing I can't fix in a couple minutes. I'll get this uploaded soon.

Thanks heaps, Once you have made the adjustments and uploaded it I will take a look and compare so I can improve the way I do it.

4th line of text on the rear your TM needs to be superscripted.  It says CHEETAHMENTM at the moment.   Would also say that the whole cover would benefit from a bit of an increase in contrast.

Typos in the French text - you’ve used it, rather than il on a couple of occasions.

To be fair though the original (https://www.mobygames.com/game/nes/action-52/cover-art/gameCoverId,16321/) text is pretty messed up to begin with. I count at least 10 errors on the german part...

But no surprise here... why should the packaging be any better then the game?  ;D

Hi Sheep,

Thanks for the feedback. i have made some adjustments to the text on the back and adjusted the contrast.
How'd I go?  https://app.box.com/s/40oromeyvm624w1m7jrusvikf789gpal (https://app.box.com/s/40oromeyvm624w1m7jrusvikf789gpal)

EDIT:
Pretty much I want to get to a point where the admins like my work so I can contribute to this community and take requests to grow the database we have.
Also PX0 how's the German now? I only know English so it was a bit of a guessing game.

Thank you very much sheep and everyone else who has given pointers with this cover. I have no idea what this game is but thought it would be fun to take it on.

I would love to focus on Gameboy (original) and SNES covers as this is what I have in my collection.

Once again thank you.

Thank you so much to everyone who jumped in to help on this one.   I couldn't believe no one had made a cover for such a notorious game yet!    It's wonderful to see a community come together to accomplish this.
