are you using the original Nintendo Entertainment System spine I made, The Game's or a modified version seperte from either of ours?
I firmly think that the black and red works better than the white one. The white makes it stand out too much for its own good IMO.
Just finished Kung-Fu Heroes.

It's a modified version of the Playstation cover. Here are the originals of the rest:
Are you going to have matching spines for the whole Mega Man series?
::requests covers::
Are any of the original Megaman covers ready for download? If not, when should I expect them to be ready!! Keep up the good work guys.
The spine was done by scanning the cardboard box of a jazzwarz Quickman figure ... Since the logo is from the modern Megaman games, and because Megaman 1-6 are pretty much a set, I think work should be done to ensure all the spines for all six games use this design.
These ones eightcell?
:: custom megaman cover ::
Are we using the media shelving universal game cases for the NES games as well??? Someone update me on what modifications need to be done so the game will fit... I new to this stuff.I just took some wire cutters and snipped the pieces off that get in the way. The case cracked a little in the back but it shouldn't be noticeable with the cover.
...many of the box discriptions of the games had awkward and misleading discriptions. If you plan to clean up the covers anyway, why not reword some of the awful 80s cheesiness of the covers? Just a thouhgt.
im gonna go ahead and say those look great eightcell, although im am deffintly partial to the number being with the name of the game, not on its own at the bottom, it just looks nicer. those custom covers are great though. Good work again.
:: TEXT ::
I noticed with the Megaman 1 cover that you managed to remove the PlayStation logo. Will you also be doing this for the rest of the covers?
It isn't until the end of Megaman III that the player discovers Breakman is actually Protoman, so it would kind of be a spoiler. I think its best to write the game discriptions in spoiler free fasions. Otherwise I might as well put for each game:
"Megaman fights eight robot masters, a few bosses, then Dr. Wily. Then he wins."
KaiserWAVE, I love Megaman AC too, but you should really check out the PS2 or Xbox versions instead of the GC one. The GC one has reverse controls (A is fire and B is jump rather than the other way around that every Megaman gave used ever) and no remixed music, making it very difficult to recommend over the other versions. The G4 interview is awesome though, so I suppose the GC version does have some maret. I own Megaman AC for both the PS2 and GC and I beat all the games on the GC version first, but its just a whole lot more fun playing them with proper controls and remixed music, espically in the cases of Megaman 4-6.
I'm going to be ordering a batch of 200 UMC's soon. Are eightcell's submitted but waiting to be posted? What happened to you buddy? We haven't heard from you in a while. Just kind wondering what's going on since you took such a lead in the NES cover project.
Cheers.
Hey Eightcell glad to see your back! How are the Megaman covers comming? I'm sure those must be a TON of work, just wondering what you think of my box discrition changes ( you can see them all in one post on page 6 of this thread)
Yeah.. I like the look of those NES cases.. with the spine logo... like the GBA cases.
If someone could make a cool SNES spine logo one i'd be willing to rescan & reupload my SNES covers.

Why would someone need such a SNES spine logo? Every SNES box has it's own different spine (...)
Is there a way you could make the spine at 294 pixels across at 300 dpi. Then I will upload the guide template.
any chance I could get a preview of one or more of the megaman covers eightcell ::)?
are these covers (not just NES but across the site) true to the original box dimensions or are they purely for the universal cases?

Purely for the Universal Case. ;)
Hello all new stalker...I mean reader who has been checking out the site for a couple of days and going through boxes of games to see if I had anything worth scanning. As luck would have it I do have a box for the NES/Data East game Dash Galaxy in the alien asylum and a very much abused box for Tiger Heli. At any rate I thought I would at least make mention of these two and if there is any interest I can scan up and email someone the raw scans of either one.
Also I was curious if anyone has been using NES cover art from websites like;
http://www.nesworld.com/boxart.htm
http://ubernes.com/nesboxart.html
http://www.tomheroes.com/Video%20Games%20FS/nintendo%20boxes/nintendo.htm
http://www.planetnintendo.com/thewarpzone/boxart.html
All of those sites have front and back images for most games but unfortunately no spines but for you creative types out there I thought maybe you could use this info for the betterment of mankind or just me ;D
Whipped these up last night using the site mentioned above as a resource. Had to resize, crop, edit bends and marks, etc.
I uploaded them to this site just a few moments ago, but here are the links to them:

Hope you guys like them, these are my first covers. :)
Very nice work! You're welcome! :)I'm almost done with the Startropics box art, however, there's a problem I'm running into here since I'm not familiar with the game. On the back cover, is that a blemish or an intentional "star" in between the A? I'm leaning towards intentional, but I can't judge. I've edited that part out, but I can always add it back in before I upload the cover.
The only thing you should always check is if the covers have the right dpi the begin with(not all cover scans at gamescanners are 300dpi which are the dpi used by our site).... 1942 for example has 1478dpi which is a little bit weird ans has to be changed before it can get posted to the site.... Although the high dpi isn't reflected by it's filesize so it's even weirder....
Anyway! Welcome to the project and if you're taking requests Could you maybe do startropics NES from gamscanner next? I'd love to get this cover.....
Best wishes Sebastian

Lumberjack42
oh wow, thanks so much! I've been wanting a 1943 cover for a long time since its one of my all time favorite NES games. Where did you get the scans from? Personal collection? If so, what other games do you have and have not yet made? I'd like to see a cover for Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! or Gun-Nac espically!
After that I'm going to be working on converting my DC collection into DVD sleeves.
Thanks for the praise.

You are not alone..... I am here with you.... ;D Talking of songs.....
As for the NES art you provided I just can't thank you enough.... The only problem with same covers redone is that I can only post them if the really differ from the covers allready posted for a game.... If they're just with a little different color or something like that I can add them only if they are from a different region then the covers allready posted for that game.... Thanks for your understanding....

Hey Lumberjack, would you be interested in creating Famicom covers as well? Maybe I'm alone on this one, but I collect Famicom games almost as devotedly as NES, but Famicom covers are a whollllllllllllllllllle lot more difficult to come across. I have a few, but the first thing that would need to be done is to create a Famicom template for use. Would you (or anyone who reads this) be interested in this endevour?
I did just find some US gems at a chain here in Oklahoma called Vintage Stock that I'm going to scan.

Where in Oklahoma are you? I am stuck in Norman for the summer :)
What is this Vintage Stock store? I am interested!
50 I think. Don't worry about your post count too much; it really doesn't mean anything. I have a feeling that sooner or later you'll become a cover guru as I am. You've already upped more covers than I think i have in my total time here! lol I better catch up ;)
I go there instead of Game Exchange because they are asses when it comes to getting cartridge games WITH the boxes.
Now here's something different. I thought, "Hey, I wonder why they didn't make the Legend Of Zelda cover like all of the other early NES boxes?" So I made one.
Legend of Zelda - Black Version
http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/Lumberjack42.custom.nes_nes_legendofzeldablkcjp.jpg
Tell me what you think!
Lumberjack42
Nicely done Zeldas, but I still prefer the original covers to these. Could you do a Famicom Disk System version? Now those cases looked good!
Everything has been made available.... Thanks for all your contributions so far....
I like the black zeldas as well..... Nice work!
I'll see if I can get good scans of the Famicom Disk System Zeldas. Probelm is that those covers are much much smaller to begin with.
thats something I want to do myself. that way, you can improve it! lol My intital ideas for a Famicom template stream from very much like the NES template. I'll need some help with some details though, such as the Famicom Disk System template and quite frankly a whole lot of everything to do with the beloved Disk System. Disk covers are only slightly smaller than the labels on standard 3 1/2" floppies of today. So its really going to be a challange to see how to convert them into the frankly massive Universal Media Cases. I was thinking more along the line of DS cases but that would involve heavy modding for each and every DS case since the disks wont fit. In anycase, I want to wait until my UMCs arrive before I start anything. For now, please keep up the exellent work on NES scans and I'll do what I can to contribute as well. I'll have Bubble Bobble ready tomorrow just to prove I'm still game! :)
I've uploaded some raw NES scans off two games I luckily found complete in a second hand shop in austria!
I haven't got the time at the moment to turn them into covers(too many other covers/collection stuff to do).... I uploaded them in 600dpi and straightened as possible....
Maybe someone has the ambition to clean and fix them.... :)

I would have never imagined Boulder Dash had a refined story but the back of the box is a good read :) Here it is:
"The famous researcher Stoneford bequeathed a mysterious map of an unsolved mystery to his son Rockford. The mystery of the "six diamond worlds". It is written that the holder of all jewels from the labyrinths will be immeasureably rich. Rockford sets off to explore the seemingly impervious caves of the Boulder Dash world. Hideous monsters and strange, mutated creatures guard the diamonds. You have to help brave Rockford to collect all the jewels and find his way out of the caves. Prepare for a special adventure which requires courage and dexterity. If you share these traits, if you're fortunate at the right moments, you will become the Diamond King. Rockford needs your support exploring the six magic worlds of
BOULDER DASH
Do you accept the challenge to help him?"

I found a couple of decent quality scans on a site. The only bitch was he/she watermarked them, so I had to clean that up too. The best thing is that he/she has several Disk System complete covers with no watermark and they're 300dpi.
Lumberjack42
I can email you the raws I used. Lucky for me I NEVER clean out my computer, those raws date back to January 9! Keep in mind at that time, the NES Project was still a pipe dream of mine, and all efforts went into simply getting it done. No doubt that it can be impoved upon. Whats your email and I'll send you the raws.
Good job and interesting, but I don't think simply placing a different Megaman in front of the visible old boxart is the best idea, especially with the clash of art styles as your MM1, 3 and 4 are by Inafune, 2 and 6 are from the Megaman comic and 5 is from one of the various Rockman mangas.
I much more like the idea eightcell had to create English versions of the vastly superior Rockman complete works covers. All that would need to be done is replace Rockman with Megaman and a little resizing and boarder art. Then for the back, a complete rewrite of the boxes.
I think that's the best way to go, personally. What do you think lumberjack? I don't mean to crap on your work I mean I can tell it must've taken some time and effort, but I just think there are better ways of doing the set. Oh, and as discussed a few months ago: make sure when your doing the spines that they match. The idea is to make Mega Man 1-6 like a box set of DVDs or something...so they all fit together. How do you like the idea of working together on this? If I did the backs for each and had you do the fronts and possibly the spines and then we add the two together? I just want to try to modernize the covers for the Megaman games as they evolved in art style and such.
If you're going to be using small pieces of artwork, I recommend this program:
http://rapidshare.com/files/34900613/PhotoZoom.Pro.v2.2.4.rar
With PhotoZoom Pro, you can resize a picture and have it not look absolutely horrible. Very useful!

I really like the idea of speading the classic series name among all six titles, but I think that the logo difference between all six games should be updated to reflect the standardized modern Megaman logo. Would you mind doing an alternitve version like that? Otherwise, fantasic spines lumberjack. I'm very impressed with your hard work.
Getting standardized spines would be tough since you'd have to add the number as well. You have to practically draw it yourself.
...unless there's a Mega Man font out there. argh, I knew I saw one somewhere, but I can't for the life of me find it.
I also notice some spines have the "TM" and some don't. Be sure to add those for consistency.

My... God... Well, it does look better than the US one i guess...
Though I have to say regardless of the region (except Japan of course) all the NES Megaman boxart looks awful...none of it really reflects in the in-game graphics and I don't think anyone really had any concept of what Megaman looked like except for Inafune.
Hey dante....
Did you allready finish the Mega Man 3 cover?
I've got a PAL Mega Man complete myself yesterday and will make a cover out of it too.... The only thing is that if it's too similar to your PAL cover I won't do it because I can't upload it anyway... :)
Anyway the description on my cover back is german so that is a bog difference but the rest is pretty much the same....
great cover lumberjack!

By PAL Mega Man, do you mean Mega Man 1 or Mega Man 3? I'm assuming the former. If it's in better shape than the raw I posted, then go ahead - I for one would very much like to see it.
The Mega Man 3 cover is pretty much finished except for one screenshot. Shouldn't take too long.

As you can see, I took the effort to reconstruct the screenshots by taking screenshots from the game with an emulator, editing out the sprites until I had a picture with no sprites and then repositioning the sprites so that they looked exactly like the screenshots from the original box.
The Mega Man 2 cover will take somewhat longer to complete.
Tiktektak, if your Mega Man 3 box is in any way different to mine, then by all means turn it into a cover!
UPDATE: Uploaded a new version of the cover to correct a little mistake I made in the third screenshot on the back.

This is the original European Adventure Island I. It says 'Classic' on the front, so I take it there was a version with a different cover before this one.

You have a cover for Wall Street Kid? HAHA oh wow I recall that game. Now if I get a cover for it I wont be able to sell it! ;D
By the way, does anyone hae a Panic Resturant box, manual, or the game itself? I need to re-create the label on mine.

Hey Dante,
The small Nintendo logo on the lower spine was there mainly as a placeholder for the publisher logo, unless it's actually a Nintendo published game. The lower guideline is there for the bottom of the logo. Just FYI

Lumberjack42,
noticed something odd on the Rush 'n Attack cover.
See picture below:
(http://www.ddmyab.com/pics/rushattack.jpg)
Looks like you cut the logo in pieces and forgot to re-align one of the pieces. This occurs both on the front, back and spine.
Also, there's a slight scratch on the back (at the top) that would be really easy to clean up.

Other than that, great job.

Damn, that's messed up. Still, you have to agree that it was probably not supposed to look like that. I can't think of any stylistic reason why a logo would look as if someone took a scissor, cut-out a portion and moved it somewhat to the right.
Anyway, if it's supposed to look like that then I figure it should look that way on an UGC cover too.
That Ninja Gaiden II cover looks great, except for the tear spot on the dragon's face. Any chance you could fix that up? It's been in very version of every NG2 cover I've seen since they all come from the same scan.
It's unfortunately almost impossible to fix.... If you manage to fix that spot lumberjack and make it look like it's original and nice you are a true artist....
One would have to redraw parts of the dragon's nose and mouth to accomplish that and this is really really difficult in my oppinion.... Especially if you want to make it look really nice.... Could be that it's better to leave the spot alone....

I might give a go at making a cover for Conquest of the Crystal Palace but the cover tear on Willow is beyond my ability.
I haven't seen Willow in a long time but that cover art doesn't look much like Val Kilmer.

Wow how the heck did you do that so quick.
It takes me a few hours to do one half as good.
I am thinking of picking up some Photoshop CS2 books to learn some of the more advanced stuff, anything you recommend?

Hello guys Im new here and this is my first post, i like whats going on here to help preserve the classic games. Good job to all the work being done here!
There are 100 covers down and 600 or so to go, cant wait to see this prioject complete
With all that said I found Hollywood squares today CIB for $3 its in the uploads section already its pretty bad but using the clone tool in photoshop might be the answer. I tried to remove the marker as best i could without damage to the box, cant wait to see a cover!
Im not one to purchase NES boxes but when i see them for a cool price from now on im sure to pick them up for uploading. :)
hmm for some reason i get this error when i click the link

On the Karate Kid and LoLo cover I uploaded I left that Nintendo logo there as I thought it was part of the Lumberjack Spine trademark, it was not on the original box (neither is the Nintendo logo at the top though), should I remove them to preserve the retail classification of the cover?
Antony30bc
hey guys check this out its only posted for 14 days cuz i uploaded it to some temp service do with it what you will.

Awesome as always LJ42.
lol your gonna finish NES before Dreamcast at this rate.
Antony30bc
Uploaded Pinball NES, and just got back from the Flea Market and NO BOXES :( but picked up a few cart or really cheap, Adventure Island, Pac-Man Tengen, Double Dragon, and DIg Dug 2 just to name a few.
I am still awaiting a few from ebay.
I wonder what the hold up is on NES covers getting approved.
Yeah my Top Gun 2 cover is badly sun faded.
Antony30bc
Before i became an avid NES collector i just scanned some boxes that i had from when i was a kid and tossed the boxes like 4 or 5 years ago, yeah im a moron LOL i dont really collect boxes im just in for the manual and game but i would love my collection to be cased in those nice universal cases.

Ok the Taboo cover finished uploading, they look awesome. I need to get some ink for the printer so I can print all of these.
That leaves
Dragon Spirit
Demon Sword
Top Gun 2 which you have a better box for so can prob delete the raws I upped.
Deja Vu and Castle of Dragon which haven't arrived yet.
I have started loathing modifying the UGC cases, but putting the nice new cover in there and seeing the game on the shelf makes it all go
away.

Deja Vu arrived today.
For some reason it appears some jacka$$ felt he had to circle some items on the front cover with a pen. I can only assume something in the game asks a question about the box? Or perhaps the neighbors dog told him it was cool.
Anyways here are 600 DPI scans of the front and back of the box.

Antony30bc
It looks good LJ, you missed two of the circles the original owner thought wise to put on the front. They had 4 circles in total, two on the main picture, and then two on the smaller picture the guy is holding in the main picture.
Does anyone have an idea why someone would do that? Jeesh. I mean putting your name on a cart at least I can see why they did it, even if I wouldn't. But circling crap for no reason.
Antony30bc
Thanks. Were the cover artists notified what was wrong with their covers so they could correct?

Fixed Trojan, Taboo, Ironsword and Pinball.
Lumberjack42
I flattened all my NES cases with a 5 inch book, including Ironsword. I will rescan if required, even at higher than 600 DPI.
From what I can gather, including the original Mega Man cover already posted on the site, the original classic Capcom covers are almost impossible to clean up. I used the Mega Man cover on the site for the background of my Gunsmoke repair, after it was rejected I looked at it closer and I am not sure how the cover was approved to begin with. The text is very blurry or bled out.
Maybe because you realized the effort to clean it up was more effort than the original artist spent drawing it?
hey lumberjack you think you could put together an NES cover for me? Its bubble bobble. I'll upload the raws for you.
Unfortuntely not. I dont have many NES boxes that aren't on the site. the only one is Bubble Bobble, which scans are on the raws section waiting to be put together. I was hoping lumberjack would do it,but I haven't heard from him on the NES project for about a week now.
Front Differences - US Version http://www.mobygames.com/game/nes/kung-fu-master/cover-art/gameCoverId,15706/
The text "NES Version" was removed from the front cover.
"Rev - A" was written in the lower right corner.
Back Differences - US Version http://www.mobygames.com/game/nes/kung-fu-master/cover-art/gameCoverId,15705/
UPC Code has the 0 and the 9 in the center rather than at the bottom of the code.
Nintendo Quality Seal is present on the back
The Nintendo Logo and associated text are displayed in a smaller area rather than across the whole back.
Copyright data is different
Hmm More changes than I thought between the two regions :(

These look good LJ42. What do you think of the Times of Lore and Demon Sword scans? I can reupload these if you think they need it, could post them somewhere else at even higher than 600 DPI.
Antony30bc
The spine logo being a uniform color looks great on the shelf when they are all lined up next to each other.
Antony30bc
Some of those games don't look right with that black NES spine logo...maybe you should change its color to reflect the color of the box?
Hi guys, just wanted to introduce myself. I recently joined the site and started to print out some covers for my NES collection. I'm currently designing some covers for games that aren't hosted on the site. They are custom covers because I don't have the boxes for them :-\ so I just scan the cart label and go from there. I try to make it look as professional and original as possible. I have one up on the site for Double Dragon. Here's a low res sneak peak at an Excitebike cover I just finished and uploaded to the site for the next update.

Welcome to the project!
You are welcome to do anything you want and as anthonybc said there are many high res raw scans waiting which can be used by you if you want.... Because please never forget always use high res stuff for your covers otherwise they can't be used for our site....
Again thanks for the contribution and welcome! :)

A resurgence of NES interest? I am happy.Might want 600dpi if it's NES we're talking about. (unless it's in pristine condition)
I sent an email to the auctioneer of the Sword Master box (as part of a bundle) to see if he would take my money for some 300 DPI scans. Here's hoping.

Nintendo World Championships '90
http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/ErggtheGreat.custom.raw_nes_nwc90.jpg
This is my first NES cover and it is custom (barely).Wonderful. Simply put. I look forward to using this cover.
i know that there is one on the site already but the front logo is chopped off by the box.
The original box is this way but i though i'd offer an alternate.
i fixed this by making a smaller logo and changing the bandanas on the turtles to their respective colors.
It's a flash cart which emulates most (all?) of the NES mappers...you can load it up with ROMs and have most of your collection on one cart. It boots with a menu listing the games you've flashed to it (similar to a pirate multicart).
I can't believe Kid Icarus wasn't here already!
Anyway, I found a PDF file (http://kaiserland77.com/articulos/Articulos/Powerpak/Archivos/) that someone created for an actual box (not universal game case) that you can cut out and fold into a box just like actual NES games came in. Anyway, all I did was piece it into a format for the universal game cases. Here it is:

Hey, guys! I'm a relative newbie to the this site, but I hope you like my work. I spent a lot of hard work and precious time on a custom Mega Man 3 cover. I really like how it came out and I hope you guys do, too! Special thanks to satoshi_matrix for having written such excellent game descriptions for the NES Mega Man games several dozen posts ago.
could you also make a Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt and World Class Track Meet cover? Thats what I need.

Looks great, but I think the back of the box needs some work. Not in a sense it needs editing, in the sense its not very accurite to what Super Mario Bros. 3 is. As well, the US box uses a screenshot from the 1988 international confrence beta. If you think about it, that stage isn't even in the US release or even the Japanese release for that matter. :D I just personally think that the screenshots should be updated to actually reflect the final game.
Just my two cents though.
thanks LJ. Zoda's Revenege is a cover I've needed for a while.
Nice work LJ! Thanks a lot.
Antony30bc
Would another scan help or is it just the style of the cover giving trouble?
Harrison had called dibs on faxanadu but I have not heard from him since that post. He may have retired from NES covers.
Antony30bc
Looks very nice cpoc but why Pink!?! :o
Oh wow, Tengen Tetris! I remember when I bought this, I was so excited it came in an insert and I scanned it and it was one of the first NES covers here.
When I bought my copy of Tengen Tetris, it came in a hard plastic shell not unlike the UMCs. It also had an insert, not unlike UMCs. But instead of paper, the insert was fairly thick cardboard with dents and creases. I had tried to work with it, but it pales in comparison to what you've done. I hope to see this cover added to the project in the near future!
Just a quick question...
Is there a size limit for posting images into your messages?
You guys didn't mention about my cover for "Urban Champion" :(
On my latest cover I submitted, I tried replacing the old logos with a higher-quality ones. Also, I made the main picture a bit brighter.
I hope to get the box template all worked out because I have been trying VERY hard to make an exact replica of it. I find the folding to be the difficult part because if I make an uneven fold, then the box will be warped in an odd shape.
Hey admins, just a curious question.
How does the cover made by others gets to be added to the database? Does it go under review?
I haven't used IMANDIX yet to show the Urban Champion cover being used.
Here we go, hope it turned out alright.

I indeed do have the Tengen version of Pac-Man, but ther one I have is a grey cart and is licensed by Nintendo. Is that a different version from this? I seem to recall Tengen made two versions of Pac-Man for the NES. Can you whip up a cover for the other version?
yeah but often i have to scan the label which you know is much smaller and also some are quite damaged so needs alot of cleaning up.
Awesome. Do you have the Megaman 3 PAL boxart?
Is it just me, or does the EU cover for Mega Man look thicker than usual?

I'll be adding your Anticipation and Al Unser Jr.'s Turbo Racing covers to my next printing trip to officemax.

I'll be adding your Anticipation and Al Unser Jr.'s Turbo Racing covers to my next printing trip to officemax.
I found "Anticipation" will be difficult to cut out because the background is pure white. Your best bet is either to include a border around the image or add crop lines (+ at each corners) before printing.
OH and I dont know where to mention this but the link to the cover for AD&D Pool of Radiance is broken because I cant seem to download it.
http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/raw/ErggtheGreat.retail.raw_nes_quarterbackfront.jpgTo answer your question, "possibly." The back side would be done completely, but the front would be almost impossible unless someone else has the copy of the cover.

Here are some of my scans i cant get the ink off of it maybe someoneon this board can work their magic with photoshop??
ive only got a back cover and bout 8/10ths of the front cover of parasol stars rainbow island 2 isnt in the best condition tho
hey grumble i stopped for once to take a look and your version has alot more legal info than my retail cover does. lol.
the part being blocked by a "United video sticker" is the "This seal is your assurance that Nintendo® has approved the quality of this product. Always look for this seal when buying games and accessories to ensure complete compatibility with your Nintendo Entertainment System"
pal version sez also "Distrubuted by Ocean Europe LTD, 6 Central Street, Manchester M2 5NS, England."
above barcode just sez "Made in Japan, GAME PAK (NES-GP)"
bottom sez "Recommended for ages 8 to adult"
and i just peeled back sticker and it sez
"Ocean is a registered trademark"
"Nintendo and Nintendo Entertainment System are trademarks of Nintendo"
Also below the 3rd pic it sez "TM & © 1991 Taito Corportation"
I hope all that info helps and you can make another excellent cover i can use on my cases! Your a legend <3
It practically the same XD upload it asap XD my Parasol Stars game is naked without it XD and thanks GD!

where did you get kyleb from? i dont have other covers lol , cant clean the box cover any more than it is sticker residue is stuck there for good, it would have to be done in photoshop to clean it up, if someone else wants to clean it up go for it XP.
i printed it off and use it for my cover and looks pretty fine to me XD so im not gona worry bout it to much XP
Nice work G.D
Good stuff grum.... I love the "high-resolution-graphics" thing on the front of the capcom games.... Compared to todays standards.... ;D
bleeping around with a nes??? i was busy playing bionic commando on my spectrum plus 3!!!!
the quality seal is a little large. it was about that size on the original cover, but with the newer front it does look out of place. i can make the spine title smaller as well.Also, on the spine, there should be the Acclaim company logo instead of the "Nintendo" logo at the bottom.
I was wondering if the RC Pro-am cover have some adjustments made? Because (to my understanding) it looks a bit different than the original.
Okay so I took a close look at all of the covers and most of them were nice. Some were really great like the Legend of Kage, The Wheel of Fortune, Hogans Alley or Space Shuttle, some were on the borderline like Renegade.
Unfortunately some didn't make it. The sky shark front was much too pixelated as were the karts on the R.C. Pro Am cover and the heads of the players on Hoops.
Thanks for all your efforts though!
It's always difficult to work with bad quality sources and for that your efforts are excellent! You know if you had the time I could scan my Renegade box in for you in 600dpi.... ;) Only if you want to cause in it's current state the front may not be perfect but good enough for the site. :)

We might wanna get a new authentic Final Fantasy scan to replace the one we have. The one we have is made of GameFaqs low res scan and has alot of errors, certain parts of the sword has been deleted, pixels galore.

aw man I wanted that RC Pro AM box :( oh well, the others look great!
Looks much nicer - but you've typed NOBODAY instead of NOBODY.
sk1p, I can make custom region free boxes that would be usable for americans too, same with labels if you wanna replace the bad pixel art.

i just won an auction for the box for final fantasy, so i'll be able to upload a better version that what we have on the site now

i made two version, one with stars and one without, just because i like it much better without the stars.
and for some reason, there is no TM on the spine logo or the back logo. kinda weird, but thats how it was on the original.
thanks. what did you do to make it so clean and straight? i was trying to rotate it and then use the little box tool in order to make the straight lines, but it ended up not really working to well for me
thanks. i tried to do it the same way you did, but i ended up losing track of the rotations. it looks like you used the front from the gameboy advance case thats on here, which i only found after i had uploaded them. but seriously thanks it looks much better and much more original now.
i put the new front on and re-uploaded them.
alright, here is final fantasy. retyped everthing because it just looks better that way. it used times new roman for the font, which is kind of odd for a cover, but whatever. i replaced the screenshots because the scans of the box didnt look too good. i tried to keep them as original as possible, and the first and last are pretty much the same, but the middle one is different. left off any kind of logo on the spine below the title because it said nintendo enough times already on the box. as always, let me know if there is anything that needs to be fixed.

its really only one different screenshot, but if you think it should be a custom thats fine by me.
well, if you want i can upload another with the original screenshots. the box i bought was a little scuffed on the back which was the reason i replaced them, so the screenshots wont look as good, but it'll be more original. whatever you think would be better

how much time does it typically take for a submitted Nes cover to appear on the website? There's a few here including mine that have been submitted a while ago and I still haven't seen them up in the Nes section!
Just wonderin ;)
I need to make some adjustments to that cover cause it has some scratches. I'll upload it later
Don't have Dick Tracy, sorry.
Ah, awesome, I'll get to it Arseen, did you get more of the black europe games? Slalom, Soccer, Tennis etc?
Also, I got what I need for the yellow Metroid cover, so nevermind
We still need this version of Metroid, it's the only one we don't have
Awesome Metroid cover Akumu :D (Had an idea to do that too)(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v243/AkumuHau/covers/metroidre2.jpg)
One suggestion: could you make the same cover but remove the "classic series" banner?
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v243/AkumuHau/covers/metroidre2.jpg)
French SNES games are compatible with all PAL SNES consoles, so I would assume it's the same with the NES.
... Im not a Final Fantasy fan ...Funny thing is, i'm not a final fantasy fan either ... yet i keep making covers for the series. JRPGs just take too long to play and since i get busier as each day passes it probably won't change anytime soon. Glad you like it.
I really like the idea of the printable box. Do you have a template for this [or any other box sizes?]I have not made a template and I would feel really guilty making one. I got the basic "shape" for the boxes from a french covers site. They have an assortment of boxes for a bunch of systems. You have to sign up for a membership but its free.

I don't have scans of the US boxes, sorry.
If you want, I'll upload them to box.net in their current state, without the proper barcodes.
Or you can wait until I find a scan/a way to make them.
I found some outrageous Mario art the other day and thought about doing this. Props to the original artists for the paintings:

I actually saw a drawing of Adventure Island in the same art style just the other day. Might be the same artist:
http://barbatebalatron.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/adventure-island.jpg
The images on the back are from the net or a emulator (in GIF format) so its nice and crisp. I just realized i used an image twice for the back so i need to change that before i upload it. Since the early covers just use pixilated images for the front it makes it a lot easier to fix up a bad rez picture :)
Aaaahhh so the front was taken from a low res scan after all.... For that it looks really good.
Haha, you don't want tiktektak to thoroughly check your covers. It's like asking the dentist after a checkup if there's really nothing he can find and telling him to look again and agian ;)

Back in 2007 I was hopeful I'd see a Xexyz cover someday. I still hope that day will come.

EDIT: Sorry, it's been a while since I uploaded raws.
.... What's next? Wall Street Kid? :D
Been lurking since I got my first wii sports cover so many moons, first time posting. That Bubble Bobble 2 makes me happy. I know this isn't the right venue for it but if one could get a Duck Tales 2, Rescue Rangers 2, Flinstones 2, and Dragon Warrior 3 my rare game shelf would be looking sexy.

Well I got Akumu to make that Bubble Bobble 2 cover by scanning my label off the cart and he just re-created the back from scratch. If you can get nice label scans of your carts (I scan my labels at 700dpi) and can find scans of the back like I do you can probably make it happen. This is the best way to do it as it wont be easy to find people with boxes of any of those games. Im gonna need all of those accept Dragon Warrior 3 so that would help me out too. If you can scan your labels Im sure I can find back scans.
.... What's next? Wall Street Kid? :D
Actually that wouldnt be too difficult to recreate. ;)
Here are some links for some decent scans to use as a base to recreate the cover.

Heres a front and back for Flinstones 2. I will try to scan my label in 1200 DPI Monday at work to act as a supplement. If these images aren't what you guys use feel free to delete them from the raw section.

We really should have somewhere to store covers that arent up to quality standards. Theres a good few people who would be more than happy to use that cover the way it is rather than not have one at all and who knows how long it could be before someone uploads a better one. I had Akumu put together a couple covers for me that I imagine didnt make it due to quality standards. We probably miss out on alot of covers that would be very helpful to fill up the games that still need covers.
........they're 250 dpi isntead of 300......

I also agree to this. I made some pretty good covers for 32x games that can't be uploaded here because they're 250 dpi isntead of 300, but they still look awesome printed out, so yes, I also support this.
Darkman for the NES; Made from scratch using a low res scan of the original box as a base. Ended up just using the image from the original movie poster.

@supericeboy
Nice cover :)
I think it would benefit from moving the Nintendo seal on the front away from the edges. If you look at other NES covers the seal doesn't touch the edge (in fact its pretty far from the edge). I'm assuming you duplicated your front NFL logo for the spine right? The outer glow seems too heavy on the spine of the NFL logo. And last but not least ........ Is that Braylon Edwards? He was 5 when this game came out, lol
Like i said before though, nice cover :)
Oh man, I remember Ikari Warriors. SNK before the Neo-Geo. I didn't realize it was ported to the NES, and I'm not sure how it would even work. The arcade version used the SNK developed rotary arcade stick, which the NES doesn't have unless SNK released a special Ikari Warriors controller? Does that mean the NES version is totally broken or is it nothing like the arcade original?
hi, I really need that SuperSpikeVball cover, is it already sized to print for a UGC?

I had to resize it to 32% before printing, but you should check from print preview is it fitting on your paper type.

That looks fantastic. Now if you use this as a template for you first Ikari Warriors cover, you've got yourself a perfect retail re-creation.
Good stuff man. Thanks for putting 2 & 3 together for me!
Good stuff man. Thanks for putting 2 & 3 together for me!
No problem. I needed them as well, but didn't have any case art.
Heres the renegade cover that i should have finished months ago.
I retyped all the stuff on the front which was a pain, and i used the better quality front from tiktektak's scan.
luckily I had already edited out the typing on the front in order to retype it, and i saved a jpeg of the front without the words on it.
http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/Ragnarok2103.custom.nes_renegadealt.jpg (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/Ragnarok2103.custom.nes_renegadealt.jpg)
It still looks oddly empty, and now the front looks empty as well, but oh well.
edit: or i could do it like this, but i dont want to have two different alternative covers for the same cover.
http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/Ragnarok2103.custom.nes_renegadealtaltcopy.jpg (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/Ragnarok2103.custom.nes_renegadealtaltcopy.jpg)
I think we should try to come to some kind of consensus as to which alternative is more preferable.
Worked on a Yo Noid! cover:
@ supericeboy:
Yo Noid, Ikari Warriors 2 and 3 and Rampage have pretty bad moire fronts. Those should be rescanned with the descreen/derasterize option turned on.
I can fix if they are to dark or haven't got good colors but such moire stuff is unfixable.
Other than the fronts these covers would be perfect. :)
EDIT: A yes and before I forget the "The Firemen" cover from you is in the wrong template. It is an EU game so it should be in the EU template.

The only thing which is a little strange is that the spine hasn't got the same background as the front and back and that the backs background has some uneven spots. Other than that nice!
If you upload a cover again with the exact same filename it overwrites the previous cover
No matter how many times I see it, Panic Restaurant's US boxart always freaks me out. I hope we can get the Famicom artwork someday.

he seriously looks like he's wearing black thongs and high blue boots...weird. makes you want to go back to Atari graphics. lol.why is the guy on the right wearing a thong?I think that is just how blue team rolls ;D
@badchad:
Jup now it looks really really nice! Will check and add on my next upload spree.
such an awful game.
For anyone who hasn't heard of Gimmick, load up an emulator and play a stage or two. Be amazed by the audio and ghe fluidity of the graphics. Then go on ebay and import yourself this beast.
Although Gimmick is vastly superior on the Famicom
What's next? Ufouria cover? Haha.
It's all about expansion audio.
Unlike the NES, the Famicom had no restrictions when it came to expansion audio, and many games have vastly superior audio on the Famicom as a result.
Sunsoft created Gimmick with the their own mapper and audio chip, the FME-7 which allowed for very smooth splitscreen and extremly high color depth. It also provided three extra sound channels, bringing the total available from four to seven.
The PAL release uses the MMC5, which has no ability for expansion audio.
Thanks for the scans. Consider it done.
Yeah the difference noticeable in Castlevania 3 (haven't played my copy of Mr. Gimmick yet).
Damn now I want the Famicom games englishified on the original carts. ;DWell yes. Gameplay wise, Gimmick like all NES versions of Famicom games are the same.
Not the case in Parasol Stars on NES:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mjHijG3Nag
After that video I realized that I have Euro version and now I want the US version too.
Thanks for the scans. Consider it done.
Sorry about the typo, I meant Rainbow Islands (like the video shows.)

Someone on nintendoage posted raws for the front and back of this game in 400dpi. So I decided to take a stab at it.
Use Vector Magic on some parts, manually fixed some things (like the education sign).
Retyped the back text.
Used the back header for the spine (is that alright?)
Still need to do the following things:
Fix the screenshots
Fix the white lip on the edge from front to side
Fix white border on front cover
Fix nintendo seals and nintendo red logo on back
Let me know if you guys spot anything else. I'm going on vacation for a week and will work on it after
Nice work although this cover must have been one of the worst art-wise!

Yes and I have the box for it also that I can scan, so you can do the back also. ;)
Or is that the real back?
... and Trolls on Treasure Island (unlicensed game, but fully legal)
Gonna start working on the DK Jr. Math cover again. And to answer the one request I'll try to use that cart label as an alt.
OK, uploaded here: http://www.mediafire.com/?4nu3v8j3jj56dyy
It includes also Tiny Toons 2 (+ back text translation) and Trolls on Treasure Island (unlicensed game, but fully legal)
Few request with the covers:
1: On Robin hood, could you remove the red bars from the top, missing parts can be found here: http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=3910. Hopefully tiktektak won't mind us "borrowing" parts from his cover
2: Please remove the French parts, missing parts can be found here: http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=3092, thanks to Lumberjack42 (Haven't seen him in a while).
and could you also then PM the Shadow Warriors 2 cover, thought I had that game covered ;D, but didn't.
Many thanks, but you Englishify it?
Here is the back of US version which has the same text but in English:

Can also be copied from the Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos cover on our site:

Just make the orange text yellow.
And as the hole name of the game is Shadow Warriors II: The Dark Sword of Chaos, would you add the missing text in some nice font.
(Well this last part I can probably also do myself)
Sorry if I am too demanding. ;D

I see we got a few more covers up today! Yay ;D
One of those is my Rescue Rangers 2 cover. I made a few minor fixes to that cover but never got a chance to update it because this was the day we had the server move and the upload stopped working. Im not sure who approved the cover (shenske or tik is my guess) but could I send the updated cover to whoever it was to update it? Thanks.
Ok cool, then all you need to do is add bullets in front of the 3 game description lines at the bottom (eight levels, 1 or 2 players)
Booyaca! As requested by arseen
I vectored the logo and a buncha other stuff.

Hey Tik, did you ever get around to adding the bullets to that Rescue Rangers 2 cover?
Nope but I have to admit that I think that those changes are not really too important. ;)

Would you also fix the back text, the r's are not OK.
Here is the back text partially copied from Gamefaqs:
ICE HOCKEY
Fast paced action at the drop of the puck!
It's fast skatin', hip checkin', high scoring action. Lead your team into center ice, over the opponent's blue line. Pass over to the point and set up for the tip in - Score! Choose a country for you and your opponent, select a level of play and face off at center ice to become the top goal scorer in Nintendo's Ice Hockey! Get charged with a penalty and test your defense. Or attack on a power play and use your puck handling skills to catch your opponents off guard. Either way, you can become a superstar in the league of Nintendo Ice Hockey!
Players: 1 or 2
And the text on spine could also be bigger, ICE HOCKEY (I typed it, so you don't have to ;D)

But still the cover is coming from a scan which is unacceptable. The scratches are not the problem it is the resolution.
No works
Yeah but there is a loss of quality and detail in the cover regardless, probably because it was made with scans from GameFAQ. And you always say everything should be the best it can be! ;)
I hope your not telling me I did all that work for nothing lol
No works
Should have just done this from the beginning. Uploaded to photobucket.

Sweet! Now I have a reason to buy DuckTales 2 sooner than later.
I've noticed this in General with the classics on the NES. Also, unlicensed games are started to skyrocket.
The font for the title looks off ...
I'd suggest changing both to the original font so that they're both consistent. I want to use the "black box" cover but I'd like to have it match the rest of the "black box" games.The font for the title looks off ...
Yeah it is off, i was debating on changing it. The font i used for this cover is the same that i used for Ice Climber and the other black starry classic nes games. Maybe i'll leave the font for the black one and i'll change change the font to match the retail cover for the gray version. Sound good? Or should i change both?
Mello yellow anybody? lol

That cover looks very very nice at first glance. Did you create it from the low res one we had floating around?
A yes a minor thing. The seal of quality on the front looks a bit huge to me. ;D
Metal Storm for the NES
Here is the Cover:

That doesn't look too bad does it? ;D
I especially like the red tape on the front and back. Especially the one on the front would be fun to fix.
Its a good W.I.P. If your up for after this you should try whipping up an NTSC cover! ;)

this is what i got so far. haven't been able to do much more because i'm working like i live at my job lol.
Next is the top fix then i'm gonna vector out the logo.
thank you sir!
Looking good. I would rotate the Taito logo on the spine tho.

Just out of curiosity. Why? Doesn't it look better if all text on the spine is in the same direction?
a yes and I'm all for a second version with a one color spine too. The background makes the text a bit hard to read.

If you look NES cover (and SNES verticals) they all have game maker's name at the bottom vertically at 90 degree angle to other texts on spine)
I thought that was pretty obvious...
Something like this?
I still would maybe do a solid blue version and a "blocky" version of the spine just to have a real retail cover too.
Every once and a while i get some time. Retyped, vectored and completely redone ... :)

@Arseen: wao i didnt know this game was so expensive for an NES game, but guess it's not too expensive since i'm used to collect Neo Geo AES cartridges.
Cool, I can work with that! Think you could scan the back too for the screen shots please?
Here it is! Is it just me or does this guy look like Mel Gibson? :DI miss the non-crazy Mel :(
If the gun is replaced with the beaver, then it'll TOTALLY be like Mel. ;D

Do I sense a future review? ;) Metal Storm is definitely a classic, I remember playing this alot myself when I had it when I was younger. The ability to effortlessly flip to the ceiling was a unique feature never seen anywhere else.
lol, i seriously thought for the first 20 sec that thus was a fake trailer. :o

Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja (PAL/UK)On the front cover at the "Nintendo seal," the new one didn't fully cover the other one; I can see the old one sticking out.
"Im BAD"... you most certainly are. Oh how i loved it in the arcade. Oh how i hate the NES vesion.
Arseen will be happy to see that one! ;D
You still got a few changes to make, if this is gonna be a US retail cover. Heres some reference scans you can use:Huh, weird. The scans Kaiser sent me didn't have that black Nintendo seal, mine were white. ??? I sort of intended this to be a custom cover, that's why I left off the Sunsoft bar at the top and replaced it with the Nintendo bar, and added the seal and NES logo on the back from the template. The bottom of the back looked empty without them. If it can't be uploaded as a custom cover then, I'll make a retail version when the upload page is back online.
http://www.mobygames.com/game/nes/spy-hunter/cover-art
I for one am a big fan of custom covers :)I have to agree with you there, Kaiser. I love the custom look. (I think the black seals look ugly, too. :-X Haha.)
But if anyone who makes a custom cover has the means to do a retail as well he/she should be highly encouraged to do so. Retail covers for NES are very popular and sought after by a lot of people here!And, if that's the case, I'll keep my custom the way it is since I think it fills out the cover better, and I'll tweak BadChad his retail version. :P Then everyone's happy!

I didnt know that. But I dont think Spy Hunter got that treatment. I browsed through google images for a bit and didnt see a white seal version.
Personally I think that even if the cover is custom it shouldn't have a US seal of qual on the back and a PAL seal of quality on the front. That is like miying the regions on one cover.

3D Battles of World Runner:
Entire cover was made from scratch, however the best I could do for the cover art was a cartridge scan. Cleaned it up pretty extensively but I'm still not sure if it's up to standard or not. Either way, if anyone needs it they're more than welcome to it.
I haven't done many NES covers, so I'd be curious to know if it lines up right and everything once it's printed.

Of course Arseen raws here for the game were unusable: http://www.mediafire.com/?0h8d7u1cgwz4u
Whoa, your cover comes with free 3-D glasses?!
*throws psd in trash*
lol good job
FALSE ADVERTISING!!! In all seriousness though, think you could cook u p a custom that removes the 3D glasses thing? It's a minor gripe but I keep my radically tublar 3-D glasses in my Rad Racer case, not 3-D World Runner.
I'm guessing that's the PAL version of Super C? Why was Super C renamed I wonder? was the "C" enough to justify worrying about referencing the Iran–Contra affair?
Thanks Brandonh1091, at first glance on the screen the cover looks good, the front image might need cleaning as do the 3 yellow of 3-D texts.
There is direct link to my box scan, which might hel with the front images:

Here comes Probotector 2 - PAL version:
(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/575/nesprobotector2box.th.jpg) (http://img9.imageshack.us/i/nesprobotector2box.jpg/)
Maybe i will convert the back into the other Konami Box art - the one with the grey bars like on Probotector 1 or Castlevania boxes.
oh geez I bet they suck ass. IR wireless controllers are awful
Yes, i've uploaded it to box.net. You can find it in the NES area.
I just used the scanned back, no text added. If it is not clean enough, i could do it again.
No developer logo on the spine? ;) Looks good tik!
As my box looked a bit bad it was a 6 hour job making this cover. Good that I'm on vacation at the moment. ;D
Another one from my collection:
Do I need to say anything. A true classic! You USAians may know this game as Bomberman 2. Don't ask me why they changed the name for europe.
Sub-Terrania
I have a copy of this that I can rescan and link if you would like
tiktektak, cool cover, cooler story. It reminds me of when I used to work part-time at Sears while in High School and College. The store I worked at had an arcade run by an outside company. My buddy just happened to be an employee there. Every day I'd go there and play for free on my 15 minute break.
Have you ever thought about buying a Cabal arcade machine if you ever run across one? Anyway, a lot of people here are going to be sad when your vacation is over :'( (hopefully you have 2 weeks off :)).
Has the Felix the Cat cover been uploaded, because I can't find it on the site... :(
Is it possible to get a download for that file I would greatly appreciate it since I just picked the game up with the manual.
I JUST bought this game complete on Ebay JUST so I could scan it for the site lol. Damn, oh well I also purchased Wheel Of Fortune Featuring Vanna White which is the only one of the four NES WOF games missing so I will get that up as soon as I get it. And yes, it will be scanned at 600dpi.
Sucks the old upload feature doesn't work and I'm not a cover admin anymore. But here is a preview for my first new cover in almost two years.
Got more to work on now, so messa happy now!

You know being away for years just lurking has to have consequences. If you come back permanently though it is out of the question that wou will regain your admin title instantly.
Let's wait and see if you are really back from the dead. ;)
Oooooooooweeeeeeeeee!! Welcome back Lumberjack and Akumu! Way to kick in the door lol
how do you fit little red hood into de UGC?I'm pretty sure that's impossible. I mean, not 100%, but that game has a thickness, at it's widest point, that is almost greater than the thickness of two NES cartridges. I'm pretty sure there's no way to fit that game into a UGC.
And just to show I am serious...
Does that help?
Oooooooooweeeeeeeeee!! Welcome back Lumberjack and Akumu! Way to kick in the door lol
WHAT! No post from Arseen yet?
He must have passed out and hasn't revived yet.I only partied hard Finnish style, sitting in bar consumed about 30 4cl shots (that's 1.2 litres to you math challenged ;) ) of 40% alcohol from 6 PM till midnightish, bought two pizzas, ate the other, and went home, when others started to passout.

Woke up next morning 10ish, no hung over whats so ever. Watched baglog of TV programs and ate other pizza.
After that I've had 2 buzy work days, after both I've had to pick my siblings from school from neighboring town.
BTW: I'm, how to put it, with such fat storage that others passout before me, so I never get the change to passout myself, because I have watch after the others ;D
Oh, I thought you had seen that I mentioned in another topic that I would be going out to celebrate my birthday! ;D
WHICH BTW IS TODAY!!!
;D Happy born day!;D
Phew, this one was fun. My box was in pretty rough shape to begin with and editing out the "Free Exclusive..." logo (that Im sure barely anyone will need) on the front was a bit of a task. Im happy with how it turned out tho. ;D

Lumberjack! Excellent job on Bugs Bunny and the others!!! Any chance I could get you to make these two Donkey Kong NES covers for me?
http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=5115.0
I'm bit afraid to ask this, but could the Dynablaster cover on the site: http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=11780 be bit redone?
I mean the front image is grainy. Would someone either repaint the front cover or atleast soften it so it not so grainy?
I lack totally the skill to do it myself. :)
Also would someone remove the German text from the front or replace it with Englisk one.
[Runs away before getting mawled] ;D
Okay I took a look at all of your covers lumberjack.
Hmmm. How should I put it? I needed to use half of my precious free day to tidy some of them up for publishing on the site. You know I always tell everyone quality over quantity!
Because you are an old time member and in my oppinion respectable person and cover creator I'll go into detail:
Wall Street Kid = unclean back + front
Three Stoges = unclean Stooges front and back
Tiger Heli = blurred back, especially screenshots
Bungling Bay = unclean
Infiltrator = blurred + unclean
Galaga = unclean (not too bad but had no time left)
Dragon's Lair = many small dirt spots / dots
Cool World = unclean
Bugs Bunny = wrong dimensions of front and back?
Dragonstrike = blurry front, unclean
You see it is all just because of unclean stuff.... If you had invested much more time per cover they would have been nice.
Even the other ones which will get published soon needed some additional cleaning, sharpening, etc. but not as extensive as the aformentioned.
As I said quality control has become much more strict than two years ago. Covers by me from these times should also be redone no question and I impose those strict quality guidelines on everyone! Me and all the others I check covers from!
Please invest the time needed to make the covers perfect!!!! I know you are more than capable of that!
Thanks Seb

Ah, so basically, you have to reproduce the entire cover from scratch to pass muster these days. Some of those took days to work on. I guess this place just passed me by.
making all the Bombermans heads and feets and other plains one solid colorThis was what I meant by grainy, as made by visible spots.
atleast softenWith this I meant exactly the same.
Sidenote question, tik: Will this standard ever eventually be used to go over older covers, already posted, to bring them up to the new code? I ask because, to be honest, the differences in quality between some of the old stuff and what passes the muster now are pretty evident; and the effect is incongruous... :-[
You know it'S nothing against you personal but I have to make the same qual measurements on all cover creators new or oldtimers a like!

The problem is, is that if there is a cover already hosted... contributors decide not to redo a cover that is already up. I'm still ranting about the N64 section if anyone has followed along with the whole schpeel. If it is not hosted, then there is more incentive to create a cover. If it is not accepted, more incentive to clean it and upload again

Exactly. Here's a perfect example: Yesterday I noticed that I had only 1 Players Choice GameCube game in my collection: Viewtifull Joe. Well, seeing as I'm not really a fan of 'Greatest Hits'-esque covers I thought "Let's see if TCP has the original NTSC cover." Well we do, but it's faded and dirty, it's i.e. a raw scan provided by Snowcone (http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=1058) back in the day. I'm glad the cover was provided but, IMO that's a perfect case of an old cover that should be cleaned and color-corrected. I've found a bit of a better version @ CoverGalaxy (http://www.covergalaxy.com/GameCube/Viewtiful+Joe/Cover/) (which was probably based on Snowcone's raw), but the point being made is once something is already up on the site it is assumed to be up to snuff, and so as said, disincentivizes ppl from re-upping new versions... :(
What I try to say is that it still looks like the cover would be a quick whip up from mediocre scans (which I know it is not!!!), and I'd like a version of the cover where the Bombermen would look less like quick spraypaint job, and the coloring would be closer the look/quality of SNES counterparts, but still shape of NES ones. Especially the blue and green parts look grainy/spotty.

See if whomever you got them from can re-scan them at a higher resolution. 72 is just too low to work with.

I'm almost leery of even posting these in the first place, but I've already put time into it and even if they suck balls, maybe someone can make them usable.

OK, I'll ask differently: Would someone make alternate custom cover of Dynablaster cover on the site, where the front's blue, green and "skin" parts are altered so that they are solid slide tone color, instead of the original dot matrix newspaper closeup look. ;D
And where the fronts German text is removed, and perhaps even replaced with the English version.
Happy ;)

Come on lumber don't talk like that.... You know with some extra work all of your covers (haven't checked the new ones yet) would pass easily....
I dunno why you don't want to go the extra mile to make them perfect and rather be huffy. ;)
I don't want to be disrespectful as I still think of you as a important part of our community but still quality requirements have changed much over the last years and we are all equal after all so everyone has to fulfill the same requirements. :)

I have to go with tik on this one. Hes not trying to be discouraging or anyhting, we just nothing but the best for the site which I aswell am sure your more than capable of. I too have checked your covers and for the most part they just need additional cleaning which is just a few simple clicks with the spot healing brush. As for the ones that have blurryness, all ou need to do is just rescan those and make sure to apply enough weight on the box to keep it nice and flat.
Especially seeing as your capable of contributing so much to the site as you alredy have (Ive definetly printed out my fare share of your covers), we just want to see you produce top notch quality with the rest of us. Please dont take any of this the wrong way because its good to have you back and your definetly a worthy member to the site! :)
Its definetly a habbit that grows on you. I have a system where I starighten things out, clean the raw right on the spot (up to 300% zoom sometimes) apply it to the template then final touches/color corrections. Its time consuming at first but when you develope the eye for it you can fly through it.
NES/SNES and other cardboard stuff mostly is a lot of work and needs extreme touch up depending on the scans condition.
You know what I like about Lumberjack's posts? He always has some you need! Thanks!NES/SNES and other cardboard stuff mostly is a lot of work and needs extreme touch up depending on the scans condition.

Can anybody go in and rework the Contra US retail cover. The bottom seems to be cut off. I hope someone still has the original box scans.I second it ;D
Looks like the official seal and some legal text is the wrong place on the back of the Shadowgate cover.

Hey lumber!
Took a quick look through your newly uploaded covers. Seems like you're back on track! Most of them are really nice. A few things I saw.
On MTV remote control the new front Nintendo seal doesn't really overlap the old one.
On the Zanac cover the front artwork is really unsharp. Maybe it could be rescanned?
On the Kings of the Beach cover the front is partly blurred (not too bad though) and on the spines left side is a strange grey line which widens on the top. (Intentional?)On the Exodus cover the back has a yellow line on the left border. (Intentional?)
On the Where's Waldo cover the back has a blue line on the left border. (Intentional?)
Thanks again for taking our new and improved quality restrictions into account! I knew you would have no problem making your covers top notch! It's all just a question of time.

I GOT MY OLD HD RECOVERED!!!!!!!!!!!
I found at least five or six covers that I hadn't posted before my hiatus. I'll make sure they are cleaned up before I link them.
I need but only one more NES cover. Mighty Final Fight. I have faith that it will show up some day, but I just thought I'd mention it in case someone has it sitting around somewhere...

Id say you did a pretty good job SJS. Looks pretty clean. Only thing I noticed is the spine logo still looks a little rough around the edges. Smooth that out and I think we might have ourselves a good replacement! :)
Here is a good reference pic for what should run across the top where the banner currently is:

Is it possible to get a download for that file I would greatly appreciate it since I just picked the game up with the manual.
Could not find it either, hopefully creator links it.

lol is that my text I wrote way back when I see on that cover ;DAh, yes, yes it is... sorry, I had meant to mention that when I uploaded it; I blame my forgetting that on it being 3 am when I did so.
Mario Is Missing
Fixed up the Mega Man 1, and, as mentioned by Arseen, removed the red NES bar. Also threw together a MM2 cover with the red bar, for comparison sake. On a side note, building the Mega Man logos is also easier than I thought it was gonna be...

NES cover art is already vertical so there really isn't a need for a vertical NES template.Actually I'd like a template that has atleast the spines matching each other, maybe something with the NES spine logo of ours with NES gray background for the game's name.

Yes but he is ripping of SNES vertical template of shenke, which shenke no likey.
On the other hand if creates his own NES template from scratch...
I didn't mean to disrespect your work, shenske. I acknowledged in the first post that I was making them for my own personal use, and will continue to do so, but I don't really have any need to upload them here if they are causing issues, as that was never my intent. As far as designing my own template, I really don't have much clue where to start, though I may look into it. I do apologize again for the transgression on your work, and for not acknowledging the readme file (been a while since I have read it, I must admit).
It is completely unnecessary/unfitting for the NES covers to use this kind of template. The NES art is already set up with a larger y-axis than x-axis .... WE DON"T NEED ANYTHING ELSE TO MAKE IT FIT!!!
I had a very clear vision in mind when creating all of my templates. Every system has a very different template because i absolutely DO NOT want them to look like one another. Its very unoriginal & unimaginative to have a "one template fits all" mentality ... trust me they'll look like garbage if we do this. Since I created the template I'd like it not to change ... at all. I created the readme file for this specific purpose.

Nice covers akumu. Hope they'll hold up when looked at closely.
Thanks for the Dizzy cover. Needed that one. :)There are raws for the other 1+5 games
So you've basically taken my half-a-day cleaning and redoing effort made some minor changes and now present it as your newly done cover?
WOW very neatly done... How about you try tackle a raw scan from scratch and then present it as your own?
Hey BadChad, any chance you could (challenge yourself and) create another Yo! Noid without the yellow diagonal stripe?

I understand it might not be up to par, but it gives others the idea on how "I" would fix the problem at hand, with photoshop and 10 minutes to spare, would be kinda easy
a while back, Larryinc64 posted a Mario's Time Machine cover that parodied Back to the Future and I lulled, sadly he never completed it. So, I went ahead and completed it.

Ill fix it, i still have the original PFD of the cover i made were the back text came from.
I FINISH it, But a Finnish version can be useful. XDIll fix it, i still have the original PFD of the cover i made were the back text came from.
You said that you meant to Finnish (2 N's) it as to translate in to Finnish.
I think you meant finish (1N) as to complete.
I offered to translate it into Finnish if you want. :)

Over all not too bad Arseen! Somethings I noticed was the MB logo on the front is a little chipped around the edges and the NES spine logo looks a little lower in quality than usual. Good work tho, your definetly on the right track!
I didn't even know there already was a Lolo 1 cover...was it ever uploaded to the site?
Also, is it supposed to say 'Laboratiry' on the spine? Or should that be 'Laboratory'?
Still needs a good bit of work... Are you doing this in Microsoft Paint?
This far I could get with my skill level, feel free to improve.

and the black one still says 'laboritiry' on the spine
You should also re-check your dimensions.
One cover I opened in ps showed me to be 3366 x 2166 or sth like that.
For UGC they need to be 3366 x 2100!
I like the first cover better. It might be out of focus but you don't have the black thing on top or the version title on the bottom left. It all depends on what they look like though once they get printed.
wow those are incredible! :o
The Japanese cover for Legend of the Ghost Lion looks so awesome! Think you could possibly make some sort of English custom and label? you do outstanding work!

holy crap. Are you positive that's an officially made Famicom game? For several years I was under the impression there was no Famicom version of TMNT1. If you own the game, can you post a shot of the cartridge? I didn't think Konami made a version for Japan!
New one by me.
Dungeon Magic:
I also omitted the spine logo from this one cause it wouldn't fit nicely on this one in my oppinion. Anyone can feel free to add it and upload another version with the logo somehow tacked on. Will be uploaded.

Hey Tik, send me the cover. I have a few ideas to solve that problem ... if not maybe a good alternate :)
EDIT: Nevermind ... its on the site ***duh*** :P
To be honest, I dont see why we cant host both of them as Retail covers. Id say almost every NES cover we have filed under Retail has most likely had the spine altered in order for it to fit with the template. Either moving the game title and developer logo, or adding one if there isnt one to begin with. For example, I had to do the same thing shenske did to make my Rainbow Islands fit:
http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=5284
I figured, thats what we all do in order to keep the spines somewhat consistent. If you really think about it, technically that Dungeon Magic cover is probably the only actual NES Retail cover since its the only cover that doesnt have the spine banner we use in the template. Therefore making every other cover a Custom. ;)
All im saying is I dont see any reason to file shenske's Dungeon Magic cover as a Custom cover when theres plenty of other covers filed as retail
Very nice work on your final cover tiktektak. I was planning on adding my cover as an alternate anyway. There is no reasons a custom should replace a retail cover. I realized this the other day but my password no longer seems to work on the FTP. I PM'ed snowcone to get a new one, when I do I'll add the cover along with some others.
Man I love seeing posts by Akumu show up in this thread. ;D
Love the Panic Restaurant one...definitely a lot less creepy than the retail, which seems more like Psycho Killer Restaurant to me.
Akumu has always done an amazing job 8)
I assume posting the covers here will get them on the site?
This is a custom cover for the Famicom game Getsu Fuuma Den. I have a repro of it in English so that's why I used the NES template instead of the Famicom one.

However, I did modify the cover to add in the NES on the spine since that was missing when I got the prototype. I'm OCD and needed it to have all my UGCs look uniform. Might as well have the option of 2 instead of 1 if the cover already exists on the site.

Funny enough that cover actually was done by Akumu himself. ;D
Is it really that bad? This cover should be actually looking quite nice considering the time I posted it on our site.
EDIT: Took a look at it. Looks clean, sharp and high res but it seems there were some problems with artifacts when scanned in.
I have scanned that cover twice and on both times the front is, how would I describe it, covered in black grid.
The gridding is visible clearly in this full size cover, and it gets worse when printed:
http://www.thecoverproject.net/images/covers/nes_adventureisland2_eu.jpg
So please rescan it BadChad and redo the cover Akumu.
Please and thank yopu
Can someone post a list of NES covers ON THE SITE that need to be redone to get them up to current standards?
I got Mega Man 1 and 2 almost done, I'll clean up the others mentioned here, I got both Zelda 1 and 2 as well so I can scan them
Awesome work on cleaning up those covers! I'd love if someone would take the time to go back and clean up all the original black styled NES boxes. (Super Mario Bros., Clu Clu Land, Duck Hunt, etc.) Kind of like how Shenske did with the Ice Climbers cover awhile back.
Oh you're right, I missed the seal difference, will post a fix ASAP.
I'll send you the logo via PM
Arseen (or anyone else really), do you have either the box for Adventures of Link on NES or GBA (NES Classic)? My box has sticker residue all over the sword so it won't fly.

The Werewolf cover definitely needs work, as the logo and objects can be easily made in higher definition. The art itself also needs some color correction. It's usually not advisable to use magic wand to cut out objects cause it leaves rough edges. The Isolated Warrior cover needs extensive work. Some text is completely unintelligible.
(I'll send that template to you later once I finished some more covers and make some adjustments to the psd itself that I forgot to save)
Thank you, since you are scanning and helping out, feel free to let me know what covers you need so i can do them for you
600dpi is usually best. And normally we flatten the boxes and put sth heavy on them like big books when we scan them to get every side of the box and to ensure the best/flattest scan possible.
Also, did you just need the covers or do you need the back and side too?
StarTropics and its infamous letter always makes me think back to the days when video rental stores started using those Permastruct laminated instruction cards instead of giving the manuals out with the games (likely because the manuals got destroyed within the first few rentals). Imagine what a kick in the sack it must have been to rent StarTropics and get stuck in that one place because you don't have the letter. Guess that's what Nintendo's 1-900 game counselor hotline was for.
The Startropics letter makes me think of the Metal Gear Solid Meryl code.
Then I shake my head cause most custom covers made for Metal Gear doesn't include that screenshot on the back

I've saw that you've made one some time ago (http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=3394.0)

I think i spend more money on reprinting covers than buying the actual games themselves.

lol I feel you there, mate. I'm almost dreading watching akumu revamp all these covers because then I'll have this OCD urge to reprint all the ones he fixes. Thankfully I don't have Battletoads so obviously no need to reprint, but Batman I do so there goes a bunch of black ink and a sheet of glossy photo paper. ;D
Maybe one fix you could do to all Mega Man games is blue spines WITH MATCHING blue color.

Sadly both of them have the front cover damaged.

Still waiting for the Zelda scans from Bear before I post those 2, but in the mean time, here's 2 more rescanned fixes.

Ugh ... This took way longer than it should have. I had this "great idea" to recolor the turtles the same color as their toy counterparts (bandanna, skin, elbow pads and all). I have been working on and off again for a while on it and the results are a little underwhelming. I'm not sure if i'll up it to the site but here is a preview.

I never did understand why they gave all the turtles the same colour bandannas on the box/cart art especially since they got the colours correct in the game.

I have the poster that came with the game, but I'm not sure how to scan it since it is much larger than my scanner.
Indeed, but it requires editing near the bending marks. Not a big deal if the poster is in great conditions (like the one I shared months ago of TMNT - Turles in Time).yeah, I LOVVVVVVVVVVVE the cover for Rolling Thunder.

I have the poster that came with the game, but I'm not sure how to scan it since it is much larger than my scanner.
In 4-9 pieces.
No cutting needed, just scan one part, move the poster, scan again, and so on.
Then piece together the scans.
Here are a couple for Arseen
Lumberjack42
Ah Lumberjack, it's so great to have you back, mate! :D
Between you and akumu this thread has gotten some serious action lately. Now if mediashelving would just get those covers in stock again I'd be good to go!
Here are a couple for Arseen
Lumberjack42
Thank you so much.
Great job on those NES covers as always Lumberjack. Glad to have you back.
Any other NES covers in the pipeline?
How about these?
Lumberjack42
Apropos of nothing, but if you include the covers posted on the site as well as the ones that that akumu, Lumberjack, and BadChad have posted in this thread that haven't yet been uploaded (you guys are probably giving tiktektak enough work to constitute a second job having to go through all of these ;D ), you've passed the halfway point of retail licensed NTSC NES covers. I count 352/677. Excellent work everyone!
Oh thank you again.
Must go buy more ink, as I have now about 50 covers to print (including some reprints)

I've used so much ink from printing covers from this site that Epson should send Snowcone a commission check. ;)
when are some of these cover remakes getting uploaded to the main site? Specifically the color corrected turtles 1 cover.
any chance we could see Baseball Stars? ;D
I also need a Baseball Stars label, as mine is torn quite badly in the bottom right corner. It's so sad to find semi-rare NES games in that kind of condition, but when the price is right I can't pass it up.
Thank you!
Keep them coming.
Well, I should be busy for a while as I was In Tulsa and found a few titles we need.
All-Pro Basketball
Bill Elliot's Nascar
Quattro Adventure (Camerica 4 pack)
NES Open (Red Top Re-release)
The Rocketeer
Roger Clemens MVP Baseball
Solstice (US Release)
Super Jeopardy
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
Barbie (Don't ask)
as well as a few cheap SNES titles (nothing special)
if they ever restock UGCs... :P
hi Lumberjack 42
and sorry you all for intrusion
May I hope one day you can work to some Colecovision (and Intellivision and Vectrex) covers ?
yr. works are great.
sorry again. ciao

OK, if I can't find it here I'll check my other computerwhere it is for sure.
No luck yet.
Massive update!

This the one you're looking for?

(one of the first covers I made when i joined [custom one at that])
Do we have scans for Conan for NES? Someone over at NA has a bunch of folded boxes for it and even though the game itself is a steaming pile of crap I'd still love to have a cover for it. If we don't already have raw scans maybe I should see if he'd be willing to scan it for us?
Link: http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=58294
Edit: Nevermind, I'm a dumbass. I see he's already provided scans in the thread. Would those be of sufficient quality for making a cover for this site?
Ask him for higher DPI scans, 600DPI would be preferred.
With those images temporary cover wouyld be possible, but no way good enough for the site.
awesome upload man, but these should be posted in the main NES cover thread.
I wasn't sure what thread to post this in, but it's NES related, so I figured I'd ask here.
I noticed on the site, in the NES section, there is a Game Genie cover available.
At quick glance, I'm wondering, how do others fit their Game Genie in a UGC case? I just looked at them side by side, and I don't think it will fit, even with all the 'inner tabs' (in the UGC) removed..
I figure since there is a cover, and 432 people have downloaded it (according to the stats), that somebody could possibly lend some insight?
Thanks in advance! And keep the NES covers coming guys!! I always love seeing new ones of those pop up.
...Actually I redid the entire cover from scratch. It was a good bit more than just "cleaning up the front". The only thing I didn't replace on the Balloon Fight cover were the screenshots. Everything thing else was made from the ground up. Text was retyped, seals/logos were replaced with hi-res ones, etc. The cover already on the site looks well enough however the front looks grainy and fuzzy. I completely redrew the cover art pixel by pixel, so in my opinion it's a huge improvement.
http://www.idautomation.com/fonts/
I was looking through the raws on the site and saw that akrate had a raw for John Elway's Quarterback uploaded but no-one had yet made cover for it, so I thought I'd try and see what I could come up with.
Thanks I needed that cover.
lol, well great, but...any response to my concerns/questions? ;D
1) When you have to retype text, are you ever able to find an exact font that matches the original? I retyped all the text on the back but I had to use fonts that were *close* to the originals as I couldn't find any that matched them exactly. I couldn't even find the proper font for the barcode, although I did recreate the proper barcode from scratch after researching how to dissect a UPC-A barcode on Wikipedia. :P
2) While I can clean up solid colours or produce even gradients without much hassle, what do you do if there is something that's a drawing or picture (as in the aforementioned Elway standing next to the arcade cab)? Bear in mind my artistic ability borders on the Neanderthal so I'm guessing you either need to have far more skill than I or simply better scans?
3) Since the size of an NES box is smaller (skinnier) than the front of a UGC, how do you get the front cover to fit properly? I can get away with it on the back by just adding a border, but how do you do it on the front? I couldn't rightly stretch the image or poor Elway would look like his face were made of silly putty, I couldn't centre or left-justify it because then I'd be forced to try to draw the rest of Elway's hand left hand and I can promise you that isn't in the realm of possiblity. So I ended up right-justifying it and extending the green field and yellow tag. How do you guys normally go about making a skinnier cover fit on a larger area?
This is the NES case/box art I'm in need of:
Sesame Street: 123 (Astro-Grover / Ernie's Magic Shapes)
(http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z251/Lumberjack42_cjp/Astyanax.jpg)
(I know there is one here already but the quality is a bit iffy.)
As funny as it is, thats how it is on the box.
For Astyanax, How come the middle screenshot on the back of the box is reversed?
The cover would be better to fix that reversed screenshot... unless you want to leave it alone?
unless you want to leave it alone?
unless you want to leave it alone?
Thats retail!
Sorry to ask this but when this rule was put with the custom spines and not the official ones?
It was a problem with the copyright or something?
From my point of view the both are perfect but I will go with the original spines.
This is the NES case/box art I'm in need of:
Road Runner (Tengen black cart)
I actually have a cover for Road Runner about 50% done. Started it a while back and never finished it. Its a terrible game so maybe thats why...
If Im motivated enought, maybe Ill finish it up tonight.

So how would I go about downloading that Archon cover? Do you have a place I could grab it from or do I need to wait until it gets uploaded to the site?
Unfortunately, it's a waiting game at this point.

Well, crap! You don't even have a mediafire account set up where we can ninja-download them? ;D
Love the two new covers, too. Was it you that was working on Solomon's Key?
Hmmm. The link isnt working.I confirm :-[
No need to upload again, he just gave wrong link and needs to give sharing link to the folder, not copy of address line.
Thank you!!!!
Finally usable Lolo cover, I'll make white version when I have time.

Any chance I can encourage you to make true retail versions of your NES covers as you make them? I would be awesome if we can get the artists to start making both covers as they put them together. Plus it a little more difficult for someone to make a true retail cover out of one thats already finished rather than having the psd. I plan on going back to alot of my older covers to make true retail covers to go with them. If we have both, that pretty much scratches that game off the list for good. Thats why I always make vertical covers to go with my SNES covers, even tho I dont use them.
Ah, Kid Niki, many thanks Chad! Now I just need to find a copy of the game that DOESN'T have a faded spine label. Honestly, I've owned four different copies of the game and two of them have had faded end labels (the other two were nicked/peeling). Data East must have cheaped-out on the labels they used for this game.
Now we just need NARC. Someone want to upload raws for this somewhere? Larry? Sneak? Bueller? ;D
Sneak uploaded the RAW's the other day. NARC is next on my list and I should be able to get it within the next few days no problem.

Done! Hope you guys enjoy them:
Excellent! Thanks a ton!
The text on the back baffles me:
"NARC is a game that depicts the war on drugs, and supports our belief that winners don't use drugs."
The game has an enemy that runs around throwing two-foot-long hypodermic needles and a psychotic clown that pops out of buildings and tries to stab people walking by. The ending boss is a giant head with a hat that floats around on some sort of a hovering machine and spits replicas of his tongues at you. Is this really what the war on drugs is like?
And 'winners don't use drugs', but they DO use rocket launchers on men in wheelchairs and dogs, splattering them into a dozen meaty juicy pieces. According to this game, killing > using drugs. Granted I'm as anti-drug as anyone, but this game really has no place taking any moral high ground. ;)
Nice!
And Gradius 2 and Crisis Force...

I remember someone mentioning they had the raws to North and South.... but it never got done to my knowledge... I know it might not be the right place to mention, but here is where the covers get taken care of! HAHA ;D
If someone can get me good NTSC scans, Ill get it taken care of...
Anyway, didn't someone have raws for Zombie Nation they'd uploaded?
I was told both times that it wasn't up to the "Site's Quality Standards".

I got raws for Crash'n boys basketball with help of sneak.
The raws are quite good and bigger than the ones he got to the boards.
I'm waiting for re-scan as these have bit of moire.
Also should be getting raws for Skate or die 2.
I recently ran a search through the forums for Battle Kid, and a couple of covers have been made for it. I don't believe that the site will actually host it, though.
I've been meaning to upload these to Box.net for awhile now. Unfortunately the only only scan of the front was from the PC box and was just a little on the blurry side, but after some extensive cleaning, it doesn't look half bad. Created the rest of the cover from scratch and I think it came out great all things considered. Also found some cool custom artwork which I'm currently leaning towards myself when it comes time to print.
Obviously won't be uploading this one to the site, but both versions will be on my Box.net account for anyone to use if they want.

I like your new style for uploading.
I was thinking to create a rule to be like this: custom covers for covers with custom spines and retail covers with original spines.
and the ones with the spines "Custom Covers".

I like your new style for uploading.
I was thinking to create a rule to be like this: custom covers for covers with custom spines and retail covers with original spines.
This is what Ive been doing from now on. Since I always make full retail covers and covers with the custom spines, it only makes sense to call the retail covers "Retail Covers", and the ones with the spines "Custom Covers".
and the ones with the spines "Custom Covers".
I agree with thiis naming change, altough I'd use 3 tier classification:
Retail: The ones that don't have our spine logo.
Alternate: Covers that have our spine logo.
Custom: Covers that have custom artwork.
The next NoNo. We agreed quite a long time ago when snow wanted us to streamline our cover descriptor naming that we only use two terms for covers Retail or Custom. This describes everything you need. Any other descriptor would again just clutter our database and is honestly useless anyway because what info do you need? If it is retail or custom that's all.and the ones with the spines "Custom Covers".

When did we decide that badchad?
You know this isn't a kind of a one man can decide anything show especially regarding cover naming conventions and stuff. Any change in things seen on the main page have to be discussed with ALL cover admins! you know this is like saying. Hell from now on I'll upload all snes covers not under snes_..... but under sns_......! Seems like minor thing but completely destroys database consistency.
This said I'm actually a supporter of the idea of calling only true retail artwork covers retail at least for the NES world. On the other hand we than need someone who changes ALL of the previous posted nes covers from retail to custom.
You wanna do that badchad? Seems like you just raised your hand didn't you?
think i may be as done as i can be. sadly not alot of high rez art out there for this. not sure if its good enough to upload but gonna try anyhow

OK.
How about then calling the covers like the 2 Zombie nations both retail as they both use retail artwork, and the covers that use totally custom artwork, like that one Gauntlet cover or the realistic mario covers, get called custom.

I dont think theres any reason to get all worked up. I didnt think that what I was doing here was harmfully altering. Its not like Ive been on a rampage changing everything as I see fit. All Ive been doing is uploading only true retail covers as "Retail" and the others as custom. And thats only the covers that I have uplaoded lately. And seeing as how I normally include both versions, I dont see any reason to file them both as "Retail". You clearly just said you support my idea so Im not sure why it sounds like I just made a huge mistake here. Seemed more like common sense...
Plus, I figured that as we add more full retail covers in the NES section (since we have barely any right now) we could change the custom retails at the same time rather than changing them all now. It seems like weve slowly been picking up more and more on full retail covers lately too. But I mean sure, If what Im doing here is going to completely destroy our NES database then I guess Ill start changing myself bit by bit everyday...

What does Namaste mean? I keep seeing it as a siignature on my wife's friends texts.
Ok cool. Thats why I thought Id ask.
My guess is when Kemco brought this over to the US they probably had to change anything Donald Duck related since Capcom had rights to Disney back then.

it's more a greeting than a statement, but is a form of respect and used sometimes as farewell or greeting. In other words "chill, relax, etc"

Altough the covers is 300 DPI, raw material you used was too low quality.
back cover at short of ordering a custom box.
What of the Reproduction of NWC 1990?
back cover at short of ordering a custom box.
Drawing and typing -> doing the back from scratch is an option.
Apart from the screenshots the back cover is easy to do from scratch.What of the Reproduction of NWC 1990?
How shall I put it...
Did you snort cocaine while doing the cover?
It's full of white powder like residue. ;D
Again, I'd suggest doing the big blue areas from scratch.
Then make one good white star and copy/paste it around the front image.
Then use magic wand to solidify reproduction cartrige text and the big logo on the front.
Then retype the text.
Then use Google to fing new screenshots. the big one can be done from scratch.
Then copy and shrink the front image and use it on spine.
That should get you started.
You know when in paint you use the paintbucket, it only re-colors the areas that are exact match to the color you use it on.
Magic wand tool is a thing that lets you widen the tolerance from 0% (exact match to the color) to 100% (re-colors the the whole canvas, so no point using it on 100%)
Use use the Magic wand to choose area and Paint bucket top color it or you can also copy or deletethe area if you wish.
For example using the tool on the front images blue triangle, you can choose every light blue area and color them in one tone of light blue.
As the tool only picks areas that are touching each other (like paint bucket) you would have to use it few times to pick allareas.
Not sure does Gimp have the Magic wand tool.
If not I'd suggest you download the free Paint.net with Photoshop plug-in to use Photoshop files.
It's pretty much simplified Photoshop
Thanks for the knowledge too, working my way out of the noob status. lol

If not, I can help out since I got the actual box.
THAT hideous thing is the retail front artwork of Ghost Lion? *ugh*
The Ghost Lion cover is rather hilarious, especially considering the heroine of the game is a little girl, not a grown woman at all.Try photoshopping her into a girl? Lose the protrusion and wrinkles XD
For the RC Pro AM II, should we just host the fixed typo version? I dont really see the point of having an extra 2 covers on the site just because of a typo. I cant see too many people beeing upset that the typo was corrected on the cover, assuming they even notice.

I'm against it because we name retail covers Retail because they resemble the original cover! That should be done in the most perfect way achievable. So if there were typos on the original they should also be on the Retail cover we host.
No need for two covers though. Just host the cover WITH the typo.
In this special very minor case we could also make an exception though in my oppinion.

so friggin happy to see a cover for the gem that is Power Blade! Seriously you guys if you play NES games, you NEED to own Power Blade! It's like Megaman crossed with Arnold Swarchenegger...with boomerangs.
Sweet! Was looking forward to that Power Blade cover, Chad! Excellent work!
Out of curiosity, is the typo on the second picture on the bottom ('Power Balde') retail? I never noticed that before.
Didn't anyone ever proof read these things before they mass produced them?
I'm not planning on doing the new style retail on any of these. Sticking with what's been the standard on the site for years. Sorry:'( It's sad that you don't make the retail style.

Does that mean you have the raw scans available for a Namco Pac-Man cover, Lumberjack?
Really? there was a Namco licensed Pac-Man? I know there was a late NES release of Ms Pacman from Namco, but the Tengen version is by far the superior version. Also there's the Tengen build of Pac-Mania which might be better than them all.

I have decided to finally start printing off my NES games. I have put it off for a while since I have about 150 of them i need to go through. I downloaded a bunch of covers i needed and i decided to preview the images of each one of them before i prep them to print. Yikes, some of them really needed replacement covers since or quality control has become MUCH stricter since then. It is NOT my intention to step on anyone's toes, they just need to be updated and I have the resources to recreate some of them.
I decided to make my recreations from scratch starting with the blue bomber himself. I have great 300dpi scans for all six Mega Man games and am knee deep in most of them. I'm really excited to finish all of these up and share them with you guys. Here is a preview of what I am working on.

(http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/4010/megaman2.jpg)
Incase you didnt know, I actually updated our Mega Man 2 cover with a much better one updated by Akumu a month ago or so. The one you used in your preview looks like the old one before it was replaced. Check out the new one if you havent already.
I am actually working on my FIRST NES cover for this site right this moment (been mostly doing easy stuff like custom covers for Atari 2600 for the past few days). Would you mind giving me some quick bullet points on things you do to really clean up the artwork (like you did with mega man)? Currently I heavily use the clone tool obviously for imperfections, some "smart sharpening" techniques, the burn tool to make the color pop a little more and on occasion a very lite Gaussian blur. Looking at your covers and lumberjack's - it looks like you guys are going a LOT more in depth with the restoration than I am. I haven't heavily used Photoshop this much since the late '90s, so to say I'm rusty and have forgot most of what I know is a definite understatement, but I'd really love to help more and contribute to this site, so if you could give me any advice I'd greatly appreciate it!
I don't mind retails, but the conflicting changes in font makes the games seem like they don't belong to each other. I'd much rather have custom spines that all use the same font and line up neatly.
Mega Man 6 should not have Capcom on the spine... Nintendo released that one.Yeah it should. The game was licensed to and produced by Nintendo BUT was still developed by Capcom. I always put the developer logo on the spine.
If you guys want, I can get high res scans of the Mega Man 2 and 3 variant boxes (2 has no stripe, 3 has no text on the stripe), as well as the Mega Man 1 variants (oval seal, round seal).Scan what you have and i'll see what i can do.
Also, would someone mind making Rockman 1-6 covers? I PMed Akuma about his but he never replied to me
Megaman covers 1 & 2 were added to the site! All I need is 3 and I'm a happy camper! ;D

Do you by chance have any of the original boxes for Rockman 1-6 to scan in? If i had scans that would make things 10x easier.
EDIT: If you do 600dpi descreened/derastered preferred
@larryinc64No problem ;D
Thank you very much for the Blaster Master cover. Just put it in my 'need to print' folder
@BadChad
Thank you very much for the Double Dragon II cover. Just put it in my 'need to print' folder
I like the SMB3 preview, but I think you need to change the color of the background or the color of the font on the main image. Blue on blue doesn't work just because you put a red outline around the font!
I like the SMB3 preview, but I think you need to change the color of the background or the color of the font on the main image. Blue on blue doesn't work just because you put a red outline around the font!I was considering making the logo Yellow on the front, because the original boy is yellow with blue font, so a invert could work. White or multicolored like the SMW logo may work to. I may change the front to the spine logo, but I found a HQ pic of that before I posted it so I did not change the front yet. I may make 2 versions with both logos. I'm still playing around with it. I'm also working on similar ones for 1 and 2.
NICE shenske! I've been hoping to see that one for a while. I rarely reprint covers, but those sorely needed replacing! You talk about doing the classic series Zelda II... Any chance of doing the original version as well, or a classic series Zelda? How much work would it be to have all the variations?
Good stuff! Looking forward to seeing the others. Did notice a some dust that got missed on the crest and the screenshots tho. It would be cool to see full retail spines included aswell as the seal variants to finalize all the Zelda games for the NES once and for all.

forthe screen shots, maybe you get get a sprite sheet and rebuild the screen shot?
Thr screen shots were from a new box scan. I was trying to find better screen shots from an emulator but wasnt having a great amount of luck finding the correct shot. When I find tge correct screen shot ill replace them.
True retail spines were never really my thing but ill see what I can do. :)
I've done that before and found it to be extremely time consuming. It took me just as long to redo the screen shots as it did to make the whole cover.

Well, if you do decide to change them, you can use these:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/Wolfgang007/SS1.png) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/Wolfgang007/SS2.png)
Note that the pictures on the back of the box use the font from the Famicom Disk System version of the game, not the NES version. The pics I made (obviously) use the one from the NES/Famicom version.
Edit: It also uses Zora's sprite from the FDS, which is different than that of the NES/Famicom version. Lazy bums couldn't even take genuine screenshots for their own box! ;D
YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
I am updating it right now and will replace the old cover in a few minutes. Thank you VERY much!
If you're feeling really inclined you could always do the shots for the 2nd zelda too ;)
Updated with new screen shots, thanks a million WolfAlmighty ;D
No offense intended, but why don't you guys just capture shots from an emulator, with the Print Screen button?
I don't know; I thought he might be reconstructing them with game sprites or something.No offense intended, but why don't you guys just capture shots from an emulator, with the Print Screen button?
Isn't that exactly what Wolf is doing? ???
I don't know; I thought he might be reconstructing them with game sprites or something.
Anytime! Let me know if there are any other screenshots you need me to get/make (for any NES game). :)
I'll do it. I can also scan my box to get a better front cover soon.
Mind doing some really goofy ones?
http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=1921
I was told that one of the shots is actually not even from the game. It was a level they cut out or something. I would love to do a true retail for this one :)
I'm confused what you're looking for, though...do you need these screenshots replicated or are you looking for entirely new ones?
Is this the place to request someone do a better Dragon Warrior retail cover?
I'm kinda surprised this site has been around so long and yet stuff like Mario 3 and Zelda is only now getting high-res versions done! I guess the HD remakes of the retail covers is a recent project and it's been more raw up until now?
Done ;D Its slightly off but close enough. The map screenshot is a beta one too, Some things are placed differently and the Hud is different.I was always curious about that odd screenshot. I know it was one of the odd levels that Nintendo removed at the last second. Still would be nice to see how the rest of that level plays out.

There is a better dragon Warrior cover somewhere in this thread, I suggest searching for it, If you can't find it I'll upload it.
I have been touching up many covers, here are a bunch: https://www.box.com/s/90598f0bd79269893607. I'm currently working on a bunch of Genesis ones, so Ignore the ones that are there.

Looks good, I was eyeballing it from the back of my box, the only comments are 2 of the flying beetles have their wings up when they should be down, and the right most cloud should not have the spiral in it.
I love how Mario is about to run right into the beetle in font of him and get hit. Itt's like how he is jumping into a wall and a pit of lava on the SMB 1 front cover.
One more thing too...Thanks for the observations, fixed the wings, the cloud and added an extra pixel to the word MARIO.
The word "MARIO" on your screenshot is too squished. If you see WolfAlmighty screenshot, you'll notice the word "MARIO" is a bit taller.
Hey, everyone. I finally got access to a scanner so I could scan in a few boxes we don't have covers for yet. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a derasterise option so it looks like it's still a no-go. :( Nonetheless, I scanned and put together a few placeholder covers until I can get access to a scanner with a descreen capability (or until someone else does the covers properly). At any rate, they're good enough for me (for now at least) so I thought I'd share them with you guys in case any of you needed placeholder covers for them (click the pictures for the download link).
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Taito):
AD&D: Hillsfar:
Ninja Crusaders:
Dragon Fighter:
I have three more boxes I can do covers for: Burai Fighter, Motor City Patrol, and Dusty Diamond's All-Star Softball, and I plan on doing these soon regardless if I have access to a better scanner or not. Right now I have over 80 NES games without covers that are getting teased by the games that are in UGCs (I never knew NES games could be so mean :D ) so I'll do what little I can until something better becomes available.
I'l post a link in my Box account soon, Looking at it there are a few small things that need to be fixed, nothing big, I have retail covers of Kirby's Adventure, Battletoads and Double Dragon and some Mega Man games. I have black spine versions of them too like the covers below.
These actually arent too bad. Its the blurring thats the worst. Otherwise, the rest could be cleaned up in a few minutes! Flatter scans would be better. Id love to see Ninja Crudasers, Dragon Fighter and Burai Fighter up on the site. Retails would be cool too! ;)
Yeah, its the creases that are always harder to get flat. I dont really care how much weight I put down on my scanner when I take my scans, so I always stand over it an push down with all my weight to get them nice and flat. Not good for the scanner but thats a sacrafice Im willing to make lol.
For the most part, Indiana Jones looks pretty good, but AD&D, Dragon Fighter, and Ninja Crusaders could use some rescanning.
BTW, Im about to start working on that Terra Cresta cover in just a few! :)
The second one looks much better! Id replace the official seals with some fresh one tho!
Thanks alot Wolf! That's one more off my NES list. :)
It was indeed Best of the Best. I haven't printed it yet so no worries.
Cool. Ill grab these, look through them and get them up with the rest of your covers soon!
What are the two remaining covers if you don't mind me asking?
The front art is still off. His jaw is out a bit more and is shaded, and his buttons are different. I have the box if you want the exact image.
Thank you for the covers
I think I didn't rescan Othello. If I remember correctly the box is in great condition.
I'll scan it and ATF when I locate the boxes.
Probably on Wednesday.
And think the background on Dragonstrike should be more orange.
That is exactly correct tone.
Cool. Ill go through these soon and get them up.
That's a nice cover, I need that as well. Thanks
Wolf, just wanted to take a second to say thanks for the sudden surge of NES covers. I've been able to check quite a few off my list in the past few weeks thanks to you. Hope to see much more of your work in the future!
Awesome job! Looks better than the box itself (and not just because the box is a little beat up)
Just curious, how many more NES covers do you currently have in the pipeline?
I'm impressed Wolf. Less than 24 hours after I post the scans for Bonk's Adventure, you've already got it finished and posted. Thank you. I'm not sure if it's "TCP worthy" (quality-wise), but it's good enough for me!! :)
Anyways, I'll keep you all posted in anymore scans I can find in the future. I've still got about a 15-20 NES carts that could use a cover. My next focus will be finding scans of "Mighty Final Fight" hopefully (NTSC version)..
Happy to be able to be a contributing member to the community! :) This site has been good to me. :)
-Sneak
*jaw drops* Wolfie, I hope you work on my scans when I post them (as soon as the boxes arrive). Your work... humbles me.
Sweet! Got em. Sorry I havent uploaded everything yet. Im working 12 and a half hours for 2 weeks stright right now and the time I get to check my laptop has been limited lately.
Solar Jetman - Thanks to BGC for the scans on this game!
I'd never done a spine with artwork that matches up to the front before.
Finally. Thank you BIG time.
How long have waited on this... ;D
You are more than welcome - this is excellent work!
And, as for artwork that spreads to the spine, wait until I update the Mad Max scans tomorrow... er, today... whatever. :)
Finally. Thank you BIG time.

I agree! I'm not sure if Lumberjack is still putting together a Solar Jetman cover (if he is you can bet it'll be 10x better than mine :D ) but either way this will hopefully serve a purpose.You are more than welcome - this is excellent work!
And, as for artwork that spreads to the spine, wait until I update the Mad Max scans tomorrow... er, today... whatever. :)
Oh damn, I just took a lot at the earlier scans you made and I forgot this also had artwork on the spine. It looks like I'll have to move the title down for the retail as well since the top M would be cut off by the Nintendo logo. Ah well, where's the fun if there's no challenge, right?! ;)
Glad you like the cover, guys!
Looks good to me! Sorry I haven't posted an NES cover in a while, kinda got obsessed with the Atari 5200. Mainly because it is a whole lot easier to get a complete collection.

Cheers! You don't have to apologise for anything, mate...you are responsible for many of the covers that inhabit my wall-of-doom so you don't owe anyone an apology. Definitely appreciate all you've done for us all. :)
But, if you still have NES covers to make, feel free to just get good scans and upload the raws. If there are any there that I'm looking for I can start working on them myself.
Now, back to the issue at hand: Mad Max. I was able to make a fairly decent Full Retail cover:
(http://www.mediafire.com/conv/0d07b4e1e9cade555bfa56f9b9328a2ed203dbde5793324b797a4348bdf57d1c6g.jpg) (http://www.mediafire.com/view/?g5vh18syp3enmaj)
but I think making a retail cover is beyond my ability. I don't know how I'll be able to replicate the bushes and ground behind the title on the spine. I've even gone so far as to download the highest-res movie picture of that scene that I could find, and not only are the colours different than the NES version, the resolution is still wrong (and the picture on the NES box itself is rather blurry and somewhat low-res...pretty much the same way the Rambo box is). I'm just unsure how to rework the spine and save the artwork while repositioning the title and adding the Nintendo logo at the top. If any cover artists/gurus have any idea as to how to make this work I'm all ears, otherwise I think I'll just have to settle for using a solid colour spine (the same colour as the back) for use in my own collection.
Also, sorry for the slight moiré on Max's face and neck - as I mentioned the picture already started out relatively low-res so it didn't take too kindly to resampling when I downsized. :P
This any good to you?
<snip>
if so, the full size is in my box.net
I noticed BadChad was able to use those scans that I provided for Mighty Final Fight! :)
http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=5227 (http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=5227)
Thanks Chad! Another one off my list. Glad the scans were able to be used!
Bonus cover! Managed to get my hands on a box for a game that I'm sure just about everyone who owns an NES has in their possession:
The Incredible Crash Dummies
Cant say I have that one!
Also (I know this is not a request), but Shenske, I am loving your Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt retouches. How are you doing on Super Mario Bros 2? And can you also retouch up Super Mario Bros 1 and Zelda 2? Not trying to be a pain, but am wanting to print out better looking covers and you are a God :-X
*Just a suggestion:
Can we remove some of these Super Mario Bros 3 (http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=7247) covers from the database?
1-Retail
-----Remove this completely
2-Custom NTSC
-----Remove this completely
3-Custom NTSC
-----Remove this completely
4-Custom Japan
-----Keep
5-Custom NTSC
-----Move to number 1 and alter spine to replace "retail" cover
6-Label
-----Keep
Kudos to our main NES guy at the moment! :)
Very nice covers!
Super Mario Bros. 1
Someone else on our forums made a retouched version of this one. I'll have to figure out who it was again and upload it to the site.
Keep 'em coming, Wolf!
F2?
Was gonna first suggest using PAL one to make US one, but after comparing the two concluded that it would be tough.
Lot of re-drawing needed.
The common abbreviation for Flintstones: Surprise at Dinosaur Peak (a.k.a. Flintstones 2). I know we have the PAL/Scandinavian version but we don't have the NTSC/USA version.
I'd also love to track down some scans/boxes of the other toughies I need like Bomberman II, Wayne's World, Godzilla 2, Gun Nac, Bandit Kings of Ancient China, L'Empereur, Pro Sport Hockey, etc.
I'll see if I can persuade (i.e. pay ;D ) some NA members to scan some of their less-than-minty boxes for us.
High quality scans are always welcome.
BTW: I has them all, double copies. ;)
11 Boxes! Whatcha got? ;)
Was a Sessame Street 123 cover ever made? I have scans for that.

I don't have it marked off on my list so I don't believe so. Arseen would know for sure, though. I don't own that game but I will eventually so if we don't have a cover for it yet then scans would be much appreciated. One less game I'd have to buy a box for later. ;D
Wow, I actually completed this one a long time ago. Sorry, I meant to upload this sometime back, but I've been busy with other things lately and I guess it must've slipped my mind. I haven't got around to making true retail versions of these, but for the time being here are the custom versions of Sesame Street 123 & Rock 'N' Ball:

Nice! Been needing Dino Riki, Cybernoid and Athena
Been annoying a friend of mine who lives across the country to scan his Gun-Nac box but hes being a hoser, HATE that it sit's uncased lol
Also, for stack up, I just used the one from this post, I can deal without the "swooshes" lol
http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=11026.msg79253#msg79253
Sweet, Dino Riki! Thats a nice batch of covers, Ill go through them when I have chance! Anyhting els in the works or that is untill another you pick up another batch of boxes?
... I don't think I ever read the book growing up, but I somehow doubt Tom Sawyer had a run-in with the Loch Ness Monster
I haven't been nearly as productive as Wolf but I've been meaning to do this for a while.
Maybe i'm just way too OCD. That huge pizza promotion is a real eye sore. I had to piece a few things from the pal version to get get Donnie complete. Obviously not retail but it looks much better to me. I replaced my custom cover currently on the site with this fix.

Well, your efforts are always appreciated Wolf. I'll continue to attempt to find some more rare scans - still love to find some for Pro Sport Hockey & Bomberman II.
I have the Eliminator Boat Duel box in OK conditions but my USB ports are dead and I can't get my damn scanner to work. But you can mark down from the "available" list Wolf ;D

Yeah, I'm surprised he didn't put it up, since AFAIK he has the ability to upload? Anyway, I didn't even know he made that until you posted it a few months back which is why I was glad to secure an Uninvited box so I can case up all three of my MacVenture titles. Although alphabetically they're a bit scattered throughout the collection. ;D
Now I just need to see if I can piece together a decent USA Lolo 3 cover using Tik's PAL version as a starting point so I can have cases for all of that series. I know someone posted a cover for it a while back but it's pretty low-res. Ah well, way too much on my plate to worry about it now. Still have another ten or so covers to make from scans before I'll even have time to worry about Lolo 3.
Actually, I don't have the ability to upload. I can never get Snowcone to get me FTP credentials.
WolfAlmighty, do you think you could work your awesome Uninvited cover into a NES cart label? The copy of Uninvited I have has a nasty gash in the label and I'd like to replace it with a reproduction label if possible. Thanks.
Eliminator Boat Duel Scans
Oh, and were you able to find that Lolo 3 cover on your computer, Arseen?
Here 4 files

I'd originally written a nasty comment about the work being stolen but I changed it to be nicer. None the less, it's to be expected. I was like... damn.... it was taken before we even finished. In the future, I'll send you work via PM. That way it's at the very least gets finished before being auction off.
looks great and glad to finally have that game cased. Anyone put any requests in for SCAT?
My wife thinks its retarded they have flying carrots on the cover of gun nac, topic of discussion for the past hour

That was me. Thanks so much for this! Looks great!
I'd originally written a nasty comment about the work being stolen but I changed it to be nicer. None the less, it's to be expected. I was like... damn.... it was taken before we even finished. In the future, I'll send you work via PM. That way it's at the very least gets finished before being auction off.
Sneak and I have been pimping this site out as much as possible on NintendoAge and interest seems to be growing among new collectors who realise the boxes for these titles are getting to be outrageously priced but still want a nice way to protect and display their collection, so enter TCP. We've also been spreading the word there about Seymor's cases so hopefully we can generate some more interest for him as well.
Anyone put any requests in for SCAT?
This cover is for someone... I can't remember who requested it. I tried to be as perfect as Almighty Wolf.
Your cover is impressive buuuuut :P, your seal of quality should be like

LOL! Your cover is great, mate! I don't know why you'd compare yourself to me, when you're the one with the actual talent for this stuff whereas I just basically clean. Granted, it can sometimes be quite a task to clean, but what you do takes artistic skill, like being able to make a big vector of the NES seal and logos and whatnot, whereas what I do just takes a lot of patience. At any rate, great job! You might consider also making a full retail cover to go along with it since those seem to be gaining popularity as well. Also great work on the Immortal cover (forgot to thank you in the other thread)!
Really, I'm happy if my cover look very similar to the originals. However, I've noticed your attention to detail (which is well beyond my own standard). You go as far as trying to the get the gameplay screenshots as exact as possible as well as the font. So, to me, you set the standards. I tried harder this time around to get my screenshots to be as identical to the originals as possible but... Plus, you go as far as making two versions of your covers. I almost did so but then became too lazy.

Sorry, I'm not trying to double post. However, I had to make correction because my original attempt at a Wolf quality cover failed... :'( IT FAILED MISERABLY... Not only that but he said it wouldn't pass his test unless I made two versions.... **SIGH** So here's my second attempt.
Any thoughts from anyone about my Joshua cover. Negative or positive is accepted. I'm not quite used to photoshop quite yet.

Thanks Arseen. I'm still trying to learn photoshop. I'm not that good with it. I kinda wish there were some better tuts on YouTube but they are hard to sift through for the good ones.Any thoughts from anyone about my Joshua cover. Negative or positive is accepted. I'm not quite used to photoshop quite yet.
Guess you did your best what can be done with not so good raw material.
Some what grainy and dirty.
But not by far the worst one there has been.
There was cleaned wisdom tree logo somewhere (saw it today), that you could add to better the cover a bit.
And you could do the slide tone backgrounds again from scratch (should not be that hard).
And you could reduce the grininess of the Joshua logos with Magic Tool + Paintbucket.
https://www.box.com/s/22b5b14b0c449af43719I'll do Fisher Price: Perfect Fit next unless someone else wants to do it.
Scans for Phisher Price: Perfect Fit.
By solldify I mean this:I'm not sure but I believe that on the original cover the star 'shadow' had texture, like leather.

done with magic tool and paint bucket.
Sorry about the sloppy job but paint.net doesn't do such good job with magic tool always.
But the lininess in the star originally might be intentional, trying to make it look like brushed metal.
If that is the case the brushing should be replaced with something better looking.

Thank you! That is so awesome! :)I have a large number of requests. I was deciding which cover to work on today as it's a slow day at work and noticed I hadn't done anything for you. I'm glad you like it.
Thats one Ive needed for a while! Two things I noticed, theres still a few spots of dust on the front missed, and I dont think the box art had the NES-SR-USA on the front. That was just the label.Yup, the code goes there only on the label but not on the box. Nice cover!

Other than that, everything looks accurate!

Also there shouldn't be a hyphen in the "simultaneous" on the bottom. Still, damn awesome job, mate! :)
Looks good, but Im pretty sure theres sapose to be a black line that passes underneath the screen shots and to the left through the barcode.Damn, I'm gonna add it right now.

pumanchero posted scans of it a while back. I'll see if I have time to get to making a cover for it this weekend.
I'll Do Eliminator Boat Duel. Give me until Monday. Did you get that S.C.A.T. Final with the "1 or 2 Player logo"?
Good Job Wolf. I know you struggled with the COLOR A DINOSAUR. I spent hours looking for any image that showed the spine. When I saw the back and it had an extra dinosaur, I was like... crap. Luckly, it was an easy picture to draw. I didn't make the All-Family SERIES because I figured that would be easy. Plus, you didn't ask for it. But for what it's worth.

Hey not sure what you lads are using to clean up scans or remove noise etc. but i've been having great success with a plugin for photoshop recently. It's called Imagenomic Noiseware Professional. Did a quick example with that weird cowboy art from earlier in the thread (bear in mind i've maxed everything in the plugin for this comparison).
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/8370/imagenomic.png)
The plugin itself has tonnes of presets and a custom mode full of sliders so you should be able to get exactly what you want from it with a little playing around. Anyway, if your curious then check it out. Definitely a useful tool.

So, I downloaded imagenomic and it's good and a bit better than the Photoshop filters => SMART BLUR or Surface Blur. However, Imagenomic is $80.
Is it? ;)

Yea, I have been watching that set...because it ticks me off. I have not seen word on single releases of the movies in the pack...and I like most other Nightmare fans, picked up 1, 2, and 3 when they initially came out.Bad move... You had to see the box set coming a mile away at some point. Just don't make the same mistake with the Friday the 13th series... they have 1, 2 and 3 on BD now too. Warner Bros bought the rights to both franchises -- or at least distribution rights. You can search for them at WBshop.com

I had no idea the gradient spilled over onto the spine. I hope it wasn't hard to extend that. It looks great Wolf! My only note is that the screenshots on the back are slightly rounded I think. Too, I'll make you a different seal of quality. The one you used has some discoloration around the edges.
No problem, I'll get Ninja Kid done today! I only have low res pictures to look at but the images on the back of Chubby... It look (to me) like they are on a TV or made to look like they are on a TV, similar to the front screenshot. I could be wrong.

No problem ;D My laptop monitor tends to show things like that pretty starkly. It can sometimes be a curse as much as a blessingYou need to print with 10-20% of brightness to notice the difference when it comes to black gradients...

ready, corrected!
I didn't say the cover was perfect I said I liked it more. ;D
The front image specifically, the label/manual version is just too bland.

I feel the same way. I'd rather have the existing cover with the artwork then an original bland one even if it's perfected.
like a lot of pixels .. everything is pixel depends on your point of view :P.. so like the japanese versions of classical designs with this style:

Hey guys. I am new to this site and recently started making some covers. Here is my first one. Feedback appreciated! (Whether it's good or bad). Thanks!

Yeah I have that plan for Milton Bradley games. I have Abadox and Time Lord on my WIP list queue with both presenting ~70-75% of accomplishment.
one silly question :
all the covers posted to this forum then also placed on the right bar menu ?
thanx for reply. Max

If they are submitted to the quality control the right way (using the Upload a cover link) and if the covers meet the strickt quality standards and some time has passed.

Super Mario Bros. 2
Instead of uploading 4 preview images i think this will do. I remade the Super Mario Bros 2 cover (again) this time with new scans instead of revamping the old ones. I made the two different release styles that use the old and the new Nintendo Seals. I also made a retail spine version of each one as well. All four covers can be downloaded on the main site right now :)
Just like before i did recolor Mario's face a bit because it was way too red before. I left some of the original "grain" in the image. At first i though it was just moire effect or pixilation but every box I've seen also has this "grain" so i think it intentional on Nintendo's part. The colors may not be as smooth as they were on my other cover but it looks less artificial this way and the colors pop a bit better in this cover.

Its finished except for the two back screen shots. WolfAlmighty is recreating the screenshots for me.
Bandit Kings of Ancient China
I would peg this cover at about 95% accurate. The box images I used as a reference were super low rez. I had problems making out the second screenshot. So I did my best. The cover art came from the instruction manual provided by WolfAlmighty.

Damn that is sexy! Well done mate, and thanks a billion for the cover!
Shenske - I TOTALLY forgot about making you those Zelda 2 screenshots! :-[ If you still need them I'll work on them tonight during Thursday Night Football. :)
Edit: Alright, I think these should do:

any way these ones next? pretty please :P
I used the largest one. I believe it was 2400 dpi.

I play emulators and use screen capture/Print Screen for the screenshots. It's a pain but the Cover Project demands perfection. I didn't actually have a scan of the box. Just a scan of the Label. The rest was built from the ground up. The label was heavily altered.

You are absolutely right with your last sentence! So just do it!
seen this in a couple of requests/need it myself now
made this from a shitty moby games scan, and added the black spine to match up with the rest of my games;
maybe it was posted already, couldnt find it...
feel free to clean it up if you want...
Hell yeah, I've been needing Solstice. Thanks!
nice work on those covers ;)
Here's what I'm Looking for:
Excitebike (1st edition with original black seal)
Dragon Warrior (Cleaner image) (The one on the site is a bit blurry, has noticeable creases, and the spine isn't the right size)
Short Order/Eggsplode
Super Spike V Ball/Nintendo World Cup
Super Team Games
Zelda II (Classic Series edition)
Thanks!!
Nope can't find that Super Team Games cover.
But shouldn't the spine text be other way around?
Well I can flip that and add the TCP spine thingie.

I need to get both of those myself. Short Order/Eggsplode will have to be a complete reproduction, as I've not seen a good scan online. I'll give them a look once I finish my Rocketeer cover in a couple days.
If you could change the screenshot on the back the cover would be perfect.
For the custom cover atleast it does nort matter if the screenshot does not match 100% as long as the screenshot is flawless.

I went ahead and edited my previous post with the change you requested. I ripped a screen from my emulator and pasted it in.
Still kinda new at how things run around here, but I'll definitely keep it in mind for future work.
The members of this site are like task master and they'll work you to the bone if you let them.
Things have been getting easier around here over the past months: do perfect covers or don't expect them to be approved 8)
I kinda dig it.
like it, looks nice ;), this is what i like when people like you do the retail and the custom. i prefer the retail one ;D

FAMILY FEUD
All elements of this cover (with the exception of the stage image on the front) have been redrawn from scratch. Pretty simple stuff, really. Screens don't match but are very close.

Looks great! My only note is that the Micro Machines logo on TCP-Style spine should be centered between the NES logo at the top and Camera Logo at the bottom.
very nice ;D, like your work and more if you keep doing the retail ones ;D

I actually started doing all of this to create reproduction boxes for all of my games, which then turned into "why not every NES game?", so I always do retail first. It's pretty easy to set it up for the TCP spine afterwards.
SEICROSSNice Job!!
I bought this on eBay to scan so I had a decent source to work with. One of the cover sellers on eBay had this for sale (and it had the TCP-style cover), so I'd think it has existed somewhere, but no luck. It was a relatively cheap purchase, at least.
The logo was fun to re-draw. The front was tough to get looking decent. Maybe it wasn't a great scan or just poor source quality, but I did what I could with it. The back is totally re-done from scratch. Screens are not retail accurate.

I think the font is Kabel. I could be wrong.

I saw that there was going to be a cover of this one made sometime soon - but I had one that was pretty much done. So, I'll put it up here. The reason I didn't finish this one is because it doesn't have great source material, and I was waiting for a scan or something to show up. So perhaps when the other one gets made, the two can be combined. I didn't want all of the work I'd put into it to go to waste. Looks like going forward, I won't be holding onto mostly-complete covers while I wait to get better art (as to not waste anyone's time or money).
This one has a fully re-drawn logo as well as the "Camerica medal", and everything on the back(except for the characters) has been re-done from scratch. Screens don't match and were difficult to source. I also took a bit of artistic license with this one, as there's typically a star-shaped punch in the front of Camerica boxes. The punch covered up much of a creature on the front, so I omitted him completely since there were no good sources to recreate it.
It was quite helpful to have done other Camerica titles previously, as much of their layouts are re-used.

I think the font is Kabel. I could be wrong.
Decided I was bored and pulled this off in 3 or 4 hours of tediousness.
I say "style" because I can't find anything that shows me what the spine on the left looks like. I'm not convinced there's any scans of such online. Couldn't afford to get a good box to scan, but I was able enough to find a decent enough front graphic (especially after tweaking what I could) and reconstruct the rest. I tried uploading this, but the game isn't in the list. Was sad. :(
I'm glad my Road Runner art was useful!

Would you believe that it's just Times New Roman Bold Italic? I did Photoshop faux bold as well to give the letters more rounded edges.
I can't guarantee that it's totally accurate, though.
Dang guys this thread has been pumping lately, it's too flippin' awesome!
Really glad to see we've finally got a cover for Space Shuttle (with the correct image), thanks CMDLineKing, but I have to ask why does the "Official Nintendo Seal" label have a stroke effect? Just looks kinda odd, the original for comparison "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5c/Space_Shuttle_Project_Cover.jpg", not trying' to be pushy or a pest, but I'm guessing you're going for an accurate retail look with all the work you've put in, other than that though it really is fantastic.
Here's what I use on mine:Thanks.. :) That stupid offer thing took forever.. But I made it out of default Photoshop shapes and pulled the yellow shuttle out of the original, cleaned it up a bit and added a stroke to it.. came out pretty good.. :) I was saddened though, I did all that layer work, and flattened it to copy over to the main document. I forgot I flattened it and saved the changes. :'(..

Many (if not all of the NES boxes) have a ™ instead of the ®, but that's a difference I'm ok with.
Also, great work on that Space Shuttle cover!

FERRARI GRAND PRIX CHALLENGE
I needed a break from the complicated Videomation cover, so I put this one together. It was pretty straightforward, as the copy I got off eBay had an extra-nice box. Everything is accurate but the screenshots. The flags are the only part of the logo that wasn't re-done. Outside of those and the car/track on the front and back, everything has been re-done.
I found that this game has really excellent music and is actually fun to play. My plan was initially to resell the games I buy for cover work, but I think I'll keep this one.

RAMPART
Thanks to Dreamcast99 for the scans on this one. I had it partially done for some time and moved on to another project, but a request reminded me to do the little bit I needed to finish it up.
Another Jaleco title with a weird, upside-down spine. I've made a third cover on this one for the retail one, flipping it so it's in line with everything else.
The left side of the front is a bit blurry from the scan, but it's all I have to work with. It doesn't look bad unless you're trying to notice it, I think. Screens are not retail accurate.
A very fun title, I might add.
Retail Custom:
...
I have a handful I'm near completion on, and will post in a couple days' time.
Most/all Jaleco boxes are facing the wrong direction on the left spine. That's why I did it the way I did.

I'll check the cover soon for quality.
RACE AMERICA
I was excited to see scans of this one appear. I searched a lot and had nothing, and wasn't about to buy a copy on eBay for $75 to scan. (I'm impatient and don't like bidding)
This game is actually really fun. Oddly enough, it's known as Corvette ZR1 Challenge overseas and was published by Milton Bradley. Probably going to seek out a cart-only copy now.
The main logo was completely re-drawn. The back and spine were completely reconstructed. Much of the front was left intact - not a lot of scans I get to do that with.
Also, Alex DeMeo's name appears 4 times on this cover.

SHADOWGATE
Shadowgate is one of my top 5 NES titles. I remember being so frustrated with this game as a kid that I sent Kemco a letter, and got one in return explaining how to get past where I was stuck.
This is a 95% redrawn and recreated cover that should supplant what's currently in the TCP database. The only thing not redrawn by hand on this cover is the gargoyle on the front.
Arseen asked if I'd make a cover that didn't have a break in the background image, which I did. They're posted below with the arguably less pretty(but accurate) retail covers.
The screenshots are close. They're in the same rooms/scenes as the retail box, but inventory items don't agree.
Excelent work but 2 typos: deliivers and carefullly.
And I also think that the sentence that starts "Along the way" doesn't need the comma.
SHOOTING RANGE
This game is fundamentally broken. You're not guaranteed enough targets to finish the second level - there were many, many times I sat and waited but nothing appeared. Suffice to say, getting the screenshots for this game was probably the hardest aspect of this cover. The screens on both the front and back were obviously taken with a camera, so this version looks much cleaner. (they're not retail accurate) Other than the screens and the Zapper/hand, everything on this cover was rebuilt from scratch.
Typographical error and stroke outline on the Offical Seal were intentionally left on the back.
I used my Street Cop (and Rocketeer before it) to have a base with other Bandai titles, so everything should line up on the retail spines.
Unrelated bit of info: Some of the music in this game is really cool if you slow the emulator down to 50%.

This has been a cover requested for years. It's been on my to do list forever. I'm thrilled to see it done. Looks great to me.
TARGET: RENEGADE
The game itself is tough, but surprisingly fun. I'd always written this off as a crap game, but I'm glad I got to play it a bit. Will likely hang onto this one for the collection.
Back was rebuilt from scratch. All elements of the front (except for the guy) were re-done. Screens are not retail accurate. An easy cover to do that I knocked out in about an hours' time.

TARGET: RENEGADE
WAYNE'S WORLD
This should be the last of the $$$ licensed titles that needed a cover made.
First off, this cover is NOT completely accurate. As it stands, this is reconstructed without a scan being available. The front image was from what looked like a promo poster, so the clouds don't match what was on the box. (Thanks to CMDLineKing's RAW folder for the image)
The logo and entire back of the box were re-drawn from scratch. I just drew the handwritten font since I don't think it's a font that's available.
All in all, about 8 hour's worth of work went into this one, mainly on the logo.

Quality control must be tough, I haven't seen a new cover since way back in March.
You should make a section for the covers that are made that are waiting for approval.
This way people can use those as place holders rather than trying to search 100's of threads to find covers.
I do appreciate all the hard work everyone does ;D
I have created a One-drive that has ALL the NES TCP Covers uploaded.. Check it out.. You can download them all at once.. It's the best of each cover that is currently available.. We are working on improving what we can, even if it doesn't pass muster with the TCP site.. Only a few left..

This is a great resource, I found 4 that I was missing, the rest seem to be on your list of missing covers.
I did find some that weren't on your list but are unlicensed games.

Thanks again, you hard work is appreciated. ;D
Actually, no. The font on the spine is serif. Here is the scan of the actual box. They used the same font as the Tengen logo.

I stand corrected. Didn't seem so on the original(s)...

But on second thought, maybe it is, but not as pronounced. Look at the ends of the "C". Looks flat on the licensed version, just like the dash. Am I right?
And is serpentine the spine font too? On both versions?

This one was pretty simple, just haven't had a lot of time for cover making. Game is no fun, luckily getting screens was easy.

You have a scan to do a retail one? I have a box somewhere, but I can't find it.
No, I could spend ALOT of time and re-create it with the Book artwork I have, but man whew! I found a really good quality front of the British version of the actual book and it works quite well. I have a Genesis scan as well, but no NES Scan.

EDIT: Found it! I'll scan it tomorrow for you to use. Waldo and the scroll look a lot different, but at least the background can be seamless.
if there's a chance to have the original one and not a place holder is better, this way no boddy has to go back to make a list to eliminate all place holders, this cover will be done ;D
JUST for OOBGARM.. :-P I asked him what he would change on the cover, and I found some time to re-do the software toolworks logo.. So it looks pretty spiffy now.. I removed the redborder at the top and added the new logo.. Looks a little more "retail" now :).
Enjoy all!!

Nice work! Mind to share the clear 'The Software Toolworks' logo? :D
Anything in the works?There is always something in the works!
I have the box somewhere (might have been my scan when I early on scanned badly) I'll try to find it and scan ASAP.
Thanks Arseen! The front just needs to be super flat...
Thanks Arseen! The front just needs to be super flat...
I know.
If that is my old scan it was done during the early times when I did half assed scanning.
Nowadays I scan hyper flat (seams flattened, pre-scan flattening under 147kg weight for 2 hours and then scanning under hard cover book with 5 kg weight on), moire removal and color correction on, 600DPI and as straight as I can.
Looks awesome, do you have the TCP version?
pics to keep people motivated to scan!
Is there a raw needed? I am pretty sure I have the original box
Super Team Games!! :) Special thanks to OOBGARM for Vectoring the PowerPad!!
These are close to retail, but some elements are slightly moved to accommodate the size change.

Donkey Kong Country - NES
(Donkey Kong Country 4 Pirate)
I made this cover for the pirate version of Donkey Kong Country for NES. Its actually REALLY awesome and is something you guys should check out. I put the DKC famicom board in a Gyromite fami-2-nes convertor so i can have in on a real NES cart.
FYI: In case you were wondering this game uses a special mapper so it CAN NOT be reproduced (I got mine on ebay for $15)

Mind doing NES label?
That's awesome!! There is a DKC 2 you can buy as well.. There is a few sites that re-pro them...
Mind doing NES label?
Yep, I'm planning on making one. Hopefully Sunday
Yep, i know about the Super Donkey Kong 2 pirate out there. In fact i bought it at the same time as my Donkey Kong Country 4 cart. DKC4 and SDK2 are made by different developers and use different mappers. DKC4 is far superior but both are pretty good regardless.

If I were doing this cover, this is what I'd go with. You're going to have seams on the spines and likely no way to cover it up and make it seamless.

@oobgarm: Please always try to clean the artwork as much as possible also on the artwork you are not able to rebuild. A few of the covers I looked through today won't make it to the site due to the front art not being cleaned or other small things. Normally I fixed those up myself prior to upping but I haven't got the time anymore.
Some of your covers especially those were you were able to redraw almost everything look next to perfect.

I know this is a very late reply, but I'm still working on stuff. I got a new job at the end of August and my time for cover-making has diminished quite a bit. I'm trying to get back in the swing of things since my schedule has changed.
Any word on that Namco Pacman?
I just picked the game up today and noticed I don't have the cover lol :o
Here are a few previews of what I'm working on currently:
Rollerblade Racer: Just got this one in the mail yesterday. I've got the logo done but I need my tablet to re-do the patterns/designs in the background, so I'll work on that later tonight. The image of the skaters is low-res, so it kinda looks like butt, unfortunately.

The Simpsons: Bart vs. the World: Another one I bought to do. The cover is going to be totally re-drawn. I've made some progress, and I'm really enjoying working on it.

Videomation: I haven't done much with this one lately, but the intention is to re-draw the whole cover. Shouldn't be too tough, just time consuming. The little pixelated swath below the logo is taking longer than I thought.

Blaster Master: We have a TCP-style one on here, but I'm redoing this one for a more retail look. I have a hi-res logo in place, and I redid the main sprite on the front with what my skills permit. Only catch is that I can't make the pixelated stuff look like what's already there, so it'll be a bit different. I'll share once it's done, in case anyone wants it. I might be able to take the existing cover and fudge a retail spine out of it, at least. We'll see.

While still not perfect I replaced the front and spine of Gauntlet. The original (which i actually made ~7 years ago) was absolute garbage (vector magic is not magic ;) ). As many of you know I am in the process of converting the NES covers to the new ShadowFox case and I figure i may as well update this UGC cover while i'm at it.

Did you ever finish this? This is the background I like best. Like this, with the NES scroll, but book colors for Waldo. But you should probably do a retail accurate version as well, even if the people don't match up.
I went ahead and bought Gauntlet and RBI Baseball from eBay to complete the licensed Tengen NES collection. Hey CMDLineKing, I know you lost the progress you did on Namco Pac-Man, but do you (still?) have the box you can (re-?)scan?

Actually, no it's not. All it needs is the logo moved up a little bit on the spine, and a "TM" added and it's perfect.

GOLF GRAND SLAM
It's been a while - a change in my assignments at work (where I normally have the time to do these) has left me without a lot of time to work on covers, but I'm still doing what I can.
I bought this game on eBay for scanning purposes. The bottom was crushed more than I thought, so I had to piece the grass in from another source, therefore it's not perfect. It's workable, though.
The logo and back were rebuilt from scratch. Screens are close but not retail accurate.
