Title: PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)
Post by: The Warlock on February 14, 2007, 02:16:58 AM
Okay, so the Entertainment Merchants' Association has had the Official Template for PC games up on their site for a while now, but only in Adobe Illustrator format.

http://www.entmerch.org/pc_game_box_logo_and_box_size.html

I've finally gotten around to downloading the demo version of Illustrator CS2 so I could quickly convert these templates into a 300DPI lossless PNG, so we could use them without haivng Illustrator.

If anyone wants them in 600DPI, tell me within 30 days before this demo version of Illustrator expires.

It looks like the file attachments don't work right on this forum so I'm putting it on Imageshack. Snowcone, if you read this, please host it somewhere more reliable, like here on The Cover Project for instance, as I have no doubt that it'll go down off of Imageshack when we least want it to.

(The EMA also has special templates for online games, but no game publisher seems to be using these, so I didn't bother. Tell me if you need them.)

They're designed for a double-wide STACKPak and not a normal DVD case, but they should be easily modified. In fact, I think I'll do that tomorrow. Stay tuned!

My first cover based on this template is done. It is Half-Life: Game of the Year Edition. Unfortunately, I only had 200DPI scans to work from, so if anyone has 300DPI scans of the PC version of Half-Life, please gimme gimme gimme.

I left it in the wide STACKPak form because Half-Life GOTY came with like five discs. Or maybe that was the Platinum edition. Whatever. The one I have has like five discs.

EDIT: I've submitted it to this site but I have it here for impatient people. Disregard those numbers on the thumbnail, the real version is much higher res than that.

I think I'll do Oblivion next. For that one, I'll modify the template, since Oblivion came on one disc.

Post by: The Warlock on February 15, 2007, 07:54:44 PM
The Oblivion case, in a normal DVD case size. This was also done with 200DPI scans, but it seems about as sharp as the X360 cover on this site that was done in 300DPI. Maybe these were scanned with a better scanner or something. I modified the bottom a bit to make it fit, removing some of the annoying logos. Oh, and there's no ESRB rating on the front anymore; perfectionists can edit that in themselves if they want. The spine was taken from the X360 cover and resized.

EDIT: Disregard the Imageshack tag, this thumbnail links to the full version right here on TCP.

(http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/500/oblivionshittyversionwj0.th.jpg) (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/The%20Warlock.win_oblivion.jpg)

Also, here's the template. It's very similar to the EMA's normal template, but the spine is narrower to fit a normal DVD case, and I stacked the words to fit. I think it came out well. I wish they would use something like this instead of having one-disc games come in extra-large STACKPaks.

I'll do one for CDs instead of DVDs tomorrow, maybe, or whenever I get to a one- or two-disc CD game.

Indeed it is. Not that that's so bad, I mean, a lot of my old, caseless PC games have like four or five discs.

Another cover and the promised PC-CD thin template. This one is Grand Theft Auto 3. The cover itself is hacked from the PS2 version, since it had the same boxart anyway. I removed all the PS2 branding so you can't really tell and changed the back to fill in some of the blank space that resulted.

Careful, this'll run your black ink tank low. (sidenote: anyone know of a decent place, preferably online, that sells third-party or refilled HP ink cartridges? Specifically HP #21 and #22.  Preferably cartridges that don't suck.)

This one fit on Imageshack, although I had to turn the JPEG compression higher than I'd like. A less-compressed version was submitted to TCP.

Cyrix, I like the HL2 case but I still think I want to do one of my own eventually.

Okay, I'm clearly on a roll, so why let sanity stop me? Here's my carefully modified GTA: Vice City cover. I removed some logos and replaced that space with more screenshots because seriously, fuck logos.

I didn't know you could link right to uploads. I'm going to see if I can dig up the links for those last two covers.

This is it for the day for me, I think.

Real nice guys. Much better than the ones I uploaded, course I've never been that good at this. Speaking of which if anybody wants to take the covers I uploaded and rework them so their better go ahead. You have my full permission, hell I'll even give you the raws if you want them.

I just threw one up for Mafia. I put a lot of work into this one. I had zero, count 'em, zero scans of the PC version and had to hack up an Xbox cover from CoverGalaxy, and I modified it so much you wouldn't even recognize it anymore. Fine print, Xbox cruft, and URL spam removed, screenshots added, the works.

By the way, Mafia is a great game. Definitely the most underrated game I've played the past few years.

This one's another black ink drainer. But hey, I've started to refill cartridges myself now, and after paying a fair price for ink (that'd be $5 per 100mL bottle, not $20 per 5mL cartridge), I've stopped worrying about it.

Apparently, linking to our uploaded files only works for a day or so, so grab it now. I hope Snowcone gets these on the main site soon.

They should stay accessible. I'm not moving the files and I have 4 new recruits to help me keep up with the flood of covers coming in. Hopefully now we can keep up with the work you guys are doing. :)

I just did a Splinter Cell cover from a 600 DPI scan I found. Working in 600 DPI taxed my system to the limit. The cover took like ten minues to start to print. Then I did the math. 11.5 inches times 7.5 inches times 600 DPI times 32 bpp equals over two hundred megs of RAM. Came out really crisp, though.

Anyway.

I'll convert to jpeg and upload it (and the 600DPI PC-CD template) tomorrow, as it's midnight right now.

Well I guess technically it's the day after that post up there.

Sorry for the lateness. Splinter cell cover ahoy:
(I only posted the 300DPI version as I didn't know if this site took 600 dpi scans and besides the spine work was an effective 300dpi due to resizing)

Say, what are the official dimensions for the double wide stack packs? I grabbed about 4 or 5 PC covers from the ftp to add them but they are all different in size. Most are 3360x2146 but some are 3366x2150 or something between these two.

We're talking 300ths of an inch here. It doesn't need to be pixel-accurate. I'd say 3365x2150 plus or minus ten in either direction is more than accurate enough.

I'd rather download covers that are 1/32 of an inch off than covers that have lost some detail due to stretching or cropping.

Anyway, it's hard to tell because the official template recommends a 1/2 inch bleed or something like that.

Alright. You're more experienced with PC covers so I trust you on this.

I've just found that the glue holding the plastic sleeve on varies enough from one case to the next that you can't really have pixel-accuracy here.

EDIT: Oh, by the way, what's the policy on 600 DPI covers? I found a great scan of Max Payne 2 that I'd love to throw up there without cutting the resolution in half, but if it's too much of a strain on the server to have people downloading 600 DPI covers, then I'll downsample for you.
Title: Re: Official PC game template (EDIT: and a bunch of PC covers)
Post by: KaiserWAVE on March 04, 2007, 11:21:03 PM
300dpi is preferred. Some people use 600dpi because it's easier to edit the images but the finished cover is always daownsampled to 300dpi.

Can we make an exception just this once for Max Payne 2? This one cover came out really nice, has remained 600 DPI throughout (no resizing of the spine like on my Splinter Cell cover), and compressed to a smaller file size than most 300DPI covers because of the color scheme (mostly black-and-white). Plus it's probably my favorite cover art of any game ever.

Tell you what, I'll upload it and you do what you will with it.

(sidenote for anyone else: I've also finished and uploaded covers for Max Payne 1 and Morrowind, but there was nothing really remarkable about them so just download them whenever they get put up)

EDIT: Uploaded here (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/The%20Warlock.custom.win_max_payne_2-cover.jpg). Original scan (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/bki,%20crossposted%20by%20The%20Warlock.retail.win_max%20payne%202%20-%20600dpi%20original%20scan_gb.jpg) uploaded as well, for people who don't like my template.

I left your Max Payne 2 cover at 600dpi this time, like you requested. I looked great and it really wasn't any bigger (as for file size) than the other covers.

By the way, for Max Payne and Max Payne 2, since I had an actual PC scan to work from, I also uploaded the originals.

I've got no idea what region the Max Payne 1 cover is from, though. It doesn't seem to have any ratings on it at all.

Okay, so I was at my folks' house for vacation and I stumbled across a copy of Diablo II at the local Goodwill, complete with (slightly tattered but still in pretty good shape) box. I never got around to playing Diablo II back in the day, so I picked it up, and I used my parents' (crappy) scanner while I was there. The box was a bit scuffed and the scanner was a cheap Canon LiDE, but after a lot of time and Photoshop work (cleanup, despeckling, etc, etc), I came out with a really good cover. I've uploaded versions with and without my template, since I understand some people might want to stick close to the original. This is the first cover that came from a scan that I did myself (and I don't see myself doing too many more, since I can only use the scanner at my parents' house and I'm not there that often).

Since it came in a cardboard box and not a STACKPak, the cover bears some fold marks, even after cleaning up with Photoshop, but with this particular cover art I think they actually fit in well. I had to do some minor scaling to make the cardboard box art fit the slightly smaller STACKPak template, but I didn't skew anything: all aspect ratios remained the same. I wouldn't want to mar Diablo II's wonderful boxart.

Without further ado:
Without template (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/The%20Warlock.retail.win_diablo%202%20no%20template.jpg)
With template (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/The%20Warlock.custom.win_diablo%202%20with%20template.jpg)

Enjoy!

Oh, and if anyone sends me a free copy of Lord of Destruction, I promise I'll do a cover for it.  ;D

EDIT: Oh, and in case you're worried: yes, Diablo II's gigantic, inch-thick manual will fit inside a StackPak along with the game discs.

Cover for Warcraft III uploaded. I had to work from a really crappy scan for this one, but god damn, whoever wrote the Reduce Noise filter in Photoshop is a fucking genius. Despite the sub-par scanner and horrible JPEG compression that was undoubtedly used, the front and spine now look beautiful.

Not much I could do for the back, though, between the compression and the Photoshop filters, the text didn't come out too great.

Original scans have been uploaded to the raw scans folder in case anyone else wants to take a crack at it.

Far Cry cover also posted.

I actually had a decent scan to work from, so it was kind of boring.

http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/The%20Warlock.retail.win_far_cry%20final_gb.jpg


This one's particularly useful since Far Cry came bundled free with a bunch of Athlon 64 processors a couple years ago and only came in a paper sleeve. At least, that's how I got my copy.

Hey there!
I'd love to make soime DVD covers because I once bought many PC games, but old ones like Bad Mojo, Warcraft 2, Diablo 1 and and and....

The problem is I allready try to contribute(which means do myself :) ) N64, SNES, Genesis, Dreamcast, Mega/Sega Cd, etc covers so the PC section is in the line....
BUT I could provide you with some raw scans if you want that weekend....

Anyways you should not look around questioning if you're alone out there... We're all in the same cover creating boat and I believe, no better is I know that every PC cover you create is highly appreciated!!!!

So keep up your fabulous work! :)

Hey, everybody. Just came by to say that I'm not dead. Of course, talk is cheap, so I brought along a cover for Freelancer. Both original scans and my template edit. Man, Freelancer was so awesome. Unfortunately, I forgot to save the links, so you'll have to wait until it's on the main site.

Also, something's really puzzling me. I didn't scan this myself (in the US it didn't come in a DVD case anyway), and I have no clue what region it came from. Usually I can tell by the ratings system, but there are no ratings anywhere on the original scan. And it's all in English. What country has no video game ratings system but speaks English? I know it's not the US, Canada, UK, or Australia.

Tribes: Vengeance, easily the most underrated game of recent years.

Okay, this one I'm really proud of.

At first I was having a lot of trouble. I've long since lost the box for this game and don't have a scanner anyway. But no site around these here intertubes had any high-res scans!  Or indeed, any scans at all. I finally found an awful, dusty, scrached and bent and misaligned 72dpi scan of the German boxart (from cdcovers.cc, the most tragic failure of a site in the entire cover scene), and resolved to work on it until it was something usable.

After a couple hours, I realized that it wasn't gonna happen. So I threw it all out and despaired. Then I thought to myself, "Self, you dumbass. Why don't you go to Vivendi's web site and download the fansite kit. It might have boxart, or you can cobble something together yourself out of promo screenshots since T:V's boxart sucked anyway."

And so I did. And I opened up the huge zip file to find perfect original cover art. Not scanned from a printout, but original.

Then I opened it up and found it was 72dpi. I was about ready to break something.

So I looked through the zip some more and found the original, full-size front box art, without the logos or anything. Just the art alone. I grab that, build the back and spine out of other promo stuff, and throw the ESA's template on it. Bam. A full-size box art that never saw a scanner.

From now on, whenever I draw a blank at something, I'm going to go download the fansite kit.

Without further ado:
http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/The%20Warlock.custom.win_tribes_vengeance_final.jpg

The original fansite kit is here, if anyone else who has this game (all two of you, at best) wants to put together something better:

Also, since I'm on a roll, Jedi Knight II.
http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/The%20Warlock.custom.win_jedi_knight_ii_jedi_outcast_final.jpg

Front cover came from an excellent scan of the front of the box that I found somewhere.
Back cover and spine came from a shitty scan of the Xbox version (I hacked out all references to the Xbox, of course).

Pretty typical.


Hey, does anyone have a Starcraft cover anywhere? Custom, stock, whatever, I just figured it would be pretty easy to find but there sure isn't one here.

Oh, and I'm just about done with all my PC games (barring a few really old ones that I don't think I'll be able to find art for). I guess I'll do Dreamcast covers next.

I've added your PC covers. I labeled the Freelnacer covers as US covers. Since they had no indication what region they're from, the text was all english and on this site the US covers are the default covers, I thought it would be the best solution to that "problem". If that's ok with you?

You might want to add an "unknown region" category, but as long as people can find and download it I don't much care either way.

I do know that it's not the US cover, though. The US version was never in a DVD case and didn't have the "A Universe Of Possibilites" subtitle, and would have had the T for Teen ESRB rating on there somewhere.

I meant the original scan I uploaded, too.

I always upload original scans (if I have them, anyway) along with my covers, because I'm more than aware that some people don't like my template.

Of course, half my covers need to be hacked out of promo art or covers from other consoles, so I don't always have originals to upload.

EDIT: On a sidenote, somebody really ought to remove the NTSC/PAL crap from the PC covers. Those are TV formats; PCs don't use either.

I love diversity but just have no time for PC stuff unfortunately.... Got too much to do with my other consoles and their covers....

short version: Five covers uploaded.
Black & White (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/The%20Warlock.custom.win_pc-black_and_white.jpg)
Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/The%20Warlock.custom.win_pc-dukenukem_manhattan_project.jpg)
Starcraft: Brood War (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/The%20Warlock.custom.win_pc-starcraft_brood_war.jpg)
Warcraft II: Battle.net Edition (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/The%20Warlock.custom.win_pc-warcraft2-bne.jpg)
X2 The Threat (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/The%20Warlock.custom.win_pc-x2_thethreat.jpg)

long version:
Okay, I generally like to talk about each cover I do, just so others can learn from my mistakes.

So I finally borrowed somebody's scanner and scanned in a bunch of stuff I had lying around. First up was the box for Black & White. Now, I got this game from Goodwill, so the box was crappy when I got it, and it has been sitting in my closet for about a year now, which certainly didn't help anything. What I'm saying is that I had a lot of work to do to clean it up. Man, this site has really improved my Photoshop skills.

That said, I think it came out really well. There was a cool-looking embossing on the box that the scan picked up really well. I also like what I did with the spine.

I can upload raw scans if anyone wants to take a whack at it without my template, but I'm warning you that these scans are VERY raw.

Moving on: Duke Nukem Manhattan Project is awesome. It's another one I grabbed from Goodwill for like $3 when I found out that they had some old games. All I had was the jewel case, and the front art got stretched a bit, for which I apologize. Still, all told I think it came out well.

Warcraft II was partially hacked out of the PS1 boxart that Exist2Inspire uploaded. Many thanks. I put on the Battle.net logo and completely redid the back. It looks nice; I'm proud of it.

I found scans for Starcraft: Brood War from somebody on the Internet and hacked out a cover. I would have prefered box scans of the original Starcraft, but beggars can't be choosers. I just put both discs in the Brood War case.

X2: The Threat was kind of troubling. I had a really nice front cover scan to work from, and I got the spine art from the official fansite kit. The back was another matter entirely. I couldn't find decent scans for it anywhere, and I'd long since lost everything but the discs myself. (In fact, I think I got the game used, back when EBStop still sold used PC games). So I ended up "garbage picking" and grabbed a low-res scan from MobyGames or somewhere similar. I might go back and redo it later with custom artwork and everything. Also, pigs might fly and Leonard Peltier might get elected President. I have X3 Reunion now and don't really care about X2 anymore, and I'm a bit burned out after all these covers.

I also did a cover for Red Alert 2, but it was based on scans from cdcovers.cc (garbage picking out of desperation again), and it's downright embarrassingly low quality, so I'm not going to upload it.

Final note: that's it for PC covers from me. I currently have four games that don't have covers:
Red Alert 2 (the crappy one doesn't count)
the original Command & Conquer
Warcraft 1
Dune 2000.

I have no scans or anything at all to work from for any of these, and to be honest I don't care about the old DOS games all that much. Still, if anyone has high-res scans for any of those four, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm going to start doing Dreamcast covers next (and believe me, I've got a whole bunch to do). I'm also going to make a good cover for Chrono Cross, because the one that's up here already sucks, and I'd like to make a DS case for my shiny new EZFlash5. Then you probably won't hear from me nearly as often.

Also, I've got a few pet peeves with some of the low-quality Dreamcast covers that certain users have uploaded, and I'm going to post an advice thread on how to properly use the main Dreamcast template.

Some raw PC game scans have been uploaded just for fun. No scanning filter used since the scanner software really blurs it no matter what setting I try.

I'm working on several other pc covers right now and I was wondering. Does any body have the games for windows template only modified for a standard sized dvd case? All I can do is shrink the current one down to the right size like I do with the rest of the spine. I personaly don't think it looks bad at all but it would still be nice. Also for those who didn't know their is a new version of this they are using on games that support the new windows live feature. It looks exactly the same except on the far right it has live written just under the pcdvd or pccd. It looks like the same live logo they put on the xbox 360 games.

Think you could create covers for both of those expansions?  :) I mean the expansions Atari released. There were some user created expansions? 

Also, looking at your RCT2 cover, there is a distinct seam on the spine. Do you think you could edit that seam out?

I don't think I can find the boxes for WW or TT. If you want to hook me up with raws, I can do something.
The seam is around the logo, right? I'll work on it.

I reuploaded it with the same filename, and it overwrote the old one. Nifty!

Thanks! Looks great!

I have the raws, but they are 200 miles away from me. I think in mid August I will go back home for a few days before school begins to visit my family, etc. I will probably have some spare time and can probably get those boxes scanned.

Whenever is fine. I go back to school end of August so mid August would good.

Doubt I have any art related to that either, but with raws, anything is possible.

I'd like to introduce everyone here to the game that's thoroughly distracted me from doing Dreamcast covers (or really anything else, for that matter): Psychonauts.
(Also, I'm switching entirely to The Gimp now, and it's going to be some time before I get around to converting the Dreamcast tempate(s) to XCF format so I can use them. I'll do it eventually, probably, though.)

The thing that really bothers me about this one is I have the retail box right in front of me right now but I don't have a scanner anymore, so I've got to hack up the Xbox version's cover instead. Ah, well. Here it is. STACKPak sized, of course, since the thing comes on five freaking discs.

wander2045 I think you might need to rescan that box.. It is almost unusable as a raw source (at least to me).

See if your scanning software has a deraster option or an option that lets you select the source material type (choose magazine if its offered).

Did you see something called descreen? Same thing IIRC. My scanner's got a few years on it and that's what it's called.
Title: Re: PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)
Post by: wander2045 on October 31, 2007, 02:17:10 AM
Okay here is another set of scans. I used the descreen option, but I wasn't able to scan it at 600dpi only 300dpi. The HP software said that i had insufficient memory size which I know cant be the case. If any one knows a work around let me know. I should also say that the front is shiny so that could be screwing up the front scans.

The front I made by using a scan of my Doom 2 manual, and the back I had to completely remake from scratch by looking at a scan too small to use of the back of the box.

I think it turned out pretty good.

Adm I always liked that you had a little bit of love for the PC gamers BUT could you maybe redo your covers with a little more work on the spines.... I did look at them a little more and have to say that many of them look very squished on the spines.... Could you maybe try and redo the covers where the spine is squished? ;D I know a lot of work but with proper spines they would look soooooo nice!!!! :)
Title: Re: PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)
Post by: Adm_SkyWalker on November 24, 2007, 04:06:52 AM
I'm not very good with spines (hence why I've started posting the original stackpak versions). A squished spine doesn't bug me that much because the company's that make the covers do it more than people realize. The only part that bugs me are the logos, which I'm honstly tring to fix. But if you want to redo the spines yourself go ahead I won't stop you. Hell I'll give you the raws if you want them, thou they're pretty much the same as the stackpak versions.

Thanks too some help from my brother, whos way better at photoshop then me, I've been able to make some templates for "Games For Windows" on standard dvd cases. These templates are made using the bioshock special edition case which is the only Games for Windows case to be released on a standard sized dvd case. My brother also taught me someother tricks to make the spines look better. I already remade 3 of my old covers and uploaded them. Let me know what you think.

As for the template's, I'll gladly email them to Snowscone if he's willing to put them on the template thread. I have one for DVD, one for DVD (live), and one for cd. But they are only the parts that go on the top right it does not include the little PC DVD or PC CD that goes on the bottom of the spine.

I don't play PC games a whole lot, but you're covers are looking great! If you want, I have a lot of old pc games I could upload cover scans for. Don't know if you use raws or just do custom, but if you want the raws I'll be glad to get them up!

just uncovered an old cd case with lots of my old 'big box' games - boxes are long gone, so i thought i'd case them up. Most images are either from the user guide (if i have it) or web search.

if i get stuck for any i'll shout!

i know for certain I don't have anything at all for these - so if you have that'd be great:

i don't have many PC game because i'm a console gamer but i couldn't ignore the phenominal game, the sims.

Hey again!

I'm sorry to say that but all your covers except the Theme Park Inc. and Theme Park World covers are wrongly sized.... They are all 3225 x 3273 @ 300dpi.... If those are for standard DVD cases they should be 3225 x 2156 @ 300dpi..... It is extremly important that all of the parts of the cover(this means  front, spine and back) have the right pixel dimensions... Otherwise the cover won't fit properly in a DVD case 'cause the spine could be off.... Please check all except the two metioned again....
The front and back should be 1528 x 2156 pixels each!
The spine should be => 169 x 2156 pixels!

Thanks....

Regards Seb

EDIT: Theme Hospital is ok too....

re-upped most of them now, thanks anyway Tik (hope they're OK this time)

@ Hexxer - nice dungeon keeper cover - I started one a while ago, but couldn't find enough decent quality art to finish it - i've just got the disc in a plastic sleeve (but not for long...........)

I'm loving the Theme Park cover too - I thought about using the DS artwork, but was trying to get the old style original art.  I think it looks way better your way!

Hexxer if you could post your template - i'll move over to that one.

I converted the cardboard box of the relatively recent Sierra Space Quest Collection into a triple DVD case. I am torn between leaving it as close to the original box as possible, and adding the PC-CD style header to the top. I was really disappointed Sierra, well Vivendi did not release these in DVD cases, choosing crappy cardboard boxes instead. These were some of the best boxes when the games came out individually.

I think it looks more "authentic" with stuff on the back, but why not just do it both ways?  Keep a blank one and do one with stuff on the back.

Hey I was curious about something, some of those raws you uploaded are the retail dvd covers, so why do you upload them to the raws section?  Unless you figured someone could turn them from stackpacks into standard or something.  Or wait, are those the boxes?
Title: Re: PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)
Post by: Hexxxer on May 17, 2008, 11:34:33 AM
They need to be cropped and cleaned as the original material was a bit scratched. Some people may even want to apply a template onto them for uniformity. I may do it at some point but it won't be soon, if someone decides to do it before me all the power to them.

I decided to take a crack at making my own covers, for the PC ports of Red Faction and GTA: SA. I just used the PS2 cover art for both, just blanking out the PS2 related stuff (left kind of an ugly bit of nothingness on both of them, but I wasn't sure what would look nice there. More screenshots, maybe?) and cleaning up the SA cover a bit.

anyway, I uploaded them, I don't think they look... that.. .bad. any suggestions for improvements are welcome:

I know there are already Diablo 2 and BroodWar covers on the site but I wanted Diablo 2 to be a standard dvd case and I wanted Broodwar to have a different Spine so I edited them a little.  Also I edited the Escape from Monkey Island ps2 cover to use for the pc version, the only thing on it I didn't get rid of thats playstation related is the official playstation magazine comment on the front :P

Worlds of Ultima Collection
(http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m96/ryanmichaelpotter/UltimaWorlds.jpg)

All these covers are built from scratch from a custom template.

They are supposed to resemble an encyclopedia collection with the Ultima collection  and Ultima IX being Volume I, the Worlds of Ultima as Volume II, the Ultima Underworld Collection as Volume 3 and *prehaps* Ultima Online as Volume IV.

 I am in the process of building a Ultima Underworld Collection cover but will be a bit in the making. It will be blue or green for anyone interested  :)

I am very pleased more and more people are adding to this section. There are so many old PC games that just shipped in cardboard boxes and end up lost after time. I hope that anyone who reads this thread and has older boxes sitting around find it in the to scan anything they have and upload it! Everything little bit helps and the sooner the better. I hope to continue adding what I can to this section with what I have... for everyone contributing, keep up the awesome work!

Anders, what covers are you going to add?

I'm pretty much going through every PC game I own, so there's a mix of the very new (Mass Effect, The Witcher) and the less new (Manhunt, Swat 4). I've been a gamer for years and years, but all my old cardboard boxes are long gone, I'm afraid. :(

Right now, I'm not sure what I will add. I want new covers primarily for myself (to make the collection look nice on the shelf), but hopefully it might be of interest to guys as well.

Title: Re: PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)
Post by: Doom on June 15, 2008, 04:54:27 PM
There is no formal queue, it's a kinda sloppy system. Here's how it works.

You, the users, upload covers you think meet the requirements to be uploaded to TCP.

Some crazy admin actually doing his job (not me :-[) downloads the file and temporarily deletes the cover from the queue so that another admin doesn't try to upload it again (which would result in a dupe cover)

If it doesn't pass quality control (in the admin's opinion), it is not reuploaded and if the admin is feeling nice, he tells the user it didn't meet the requirements for x reason.

If it does, it is uploaded via FTP to thecoverproject.net/uploads/ready (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/index.php?dir=ready%2F), as well as a thumbnail scaled proportionately to 360px wide.

Then the magic happens. The admin uses the page Snowcone sets up to "officially" upload it to the site.

???

Profit!

Just to mention it.... The last 42 overs(except a few from lumberjack) werer posted by me and the whole process of downloading checking and reuping and making them visible on the site took me around 5 to 6 hours.... Just that you know that this isn't a work of five minutes... I planned to upload all of your covers as well Creazil and Hexxer but it took too long in the ned to do all the covers I wanted.... So then there comes the filtering... As PC game covers are very low on my priority list(I'm a console games collector) I decided to put them on the backburner....
I always try to upload as much as possible but I have much to do besides thecoverproject so be patient please....
Would be easier if some other admins would become a little more active but that is not in my hands.... You know I like it better if I check something myself and know that the quality is right then someone else does it "the fast way" and we get low res stuff on our site....

Enough said.... Patience is the key.... ;)

I got chewed out on my first upload so I was WAIIIII more careful after that... and slower. But it's summer and I'm wrapping up the feeling of "lulz no school" and I'm switching gears into "oh shit I should do something over summer vacation" so I'm gonna try to upload more. I almost uploaded a NES cover you said met quality control and you would try to upload, but I let you handle it to avoid confusion, since I never do any contributions to the UGC crowd.

We allready have quite some admins.... It's just that some of them aren't quite active in checking and upping... I can perfectly understand that it'S a lot of work... More admins doesn't neccessarily mean more covers by the way... If we could just get one admin who loves uploading and quality checking we could do a quantum leap.... Anyways I prefer the slow but thorough way.... If we get to many admins quality of our covers could get lower and lower.... You know on other sites everyone can upload his covers himself and there is no quality control so they have the stuff fast on their site.... BUT the quality of the covers is uncomparable to our site.... We want to keep this quality up par.....

That sounds like a fine approach to me. As long as the quality is there, I don't mind that it's a slow process.

here is the Warcraft covers. I ended up with my RAM starting to fail so I had to wait until today to replace it. I did both the MS DOS template as well as the generic PC CD template. I got a little fed up of trying to clean the spine and just ended up replacing it. Other then that the is some tape residue still in the image but I got rid of most of it.

BTW Thanks for the scans MisterCreazil.

Ok folks I checked quite some PC covers yesterday regarding quality and resolution and the likes....

Hexxer: All of your covers are truly beautiful and in astonishing quality!!!!

sheep2001: Your covers are pretty good as well just the Tomb Raider cover is unfortunately not so good.... The front looks pretty greyish and unclean on this one.... Would be nice if you could give it some more love....

Mister Creazil: Your covers are pretty nice as well just some of them were a little bit unclean und could have used more polish... Some of them had a little moire effect on their fronts as well.... I wasn't as strict on this stuff as I'm on some consoles which are my favorites but two covers simply weren't a little bit too unfinished.... Creatures 2 and Final Fantasy 8 StackPack.... On Creatures two the front and back are extremly unclean and really should be polished more and on FF8 the changeover from the spine to the front is unfinished....

Thanks for all your work guys.... Keep it up....

FF8 the changeover from the spine to the front is unfinished....

I have no clue what that means.

It means that there is no fluent changeover from the spine to the front but a big and not so nice looking difference in the color gradient.... Hard to explain but if you just take one look at it you should see what I mean....

I have uploaded a few cover over the last few days.

This is a reload of a cover I did last year, there was a spelling mistake on the back so I did a few other touch ups
(http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m96/ryanmichaelpotter/DeusEx.jpg)

This is a custom front cover made to match more closely to the original Deus Ex, I hope people like it. It was heavily edited from it's base material.
(http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m96/ryanmichaelpotter/DeusEx2.jpg)

Used antony30bc's Raws on this one
(http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m96/ryanmichaelpotter/kingsquest.jpg)

This cover is courtesy of Andy Roark's SierraVault website.
(http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m96/ryanmichaelpotter/kingsquest8.jpg)

Also from the SierraVault
(http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m96/ryanmichaelpotter/policequest.jpg)

Just edited my own raw on this to get rid of the EA Logo at the bottom.
(http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m96/ryanmichaelpotter/undying.jpg)

MisterCreazil supplied a great raw for this, took a little to get rid of that damned sticker residue but I am pretty happy with the result
(http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m96/ryanmichaelpotter/warcraft.jpg)

I may work on a few more after I go get some more sun.  ;D

Is there an easy way to check for artfifacts and inconsistent colors on a scan? When switching monitors, I noticed artifacts on some of my scans that I hadn't seen before. I will admit that I am now quite reluctant to upload covers, because I don't want to upload bad quality. :(

I have the same problem sometimes, I don't really think you should let that hamper you from uploading covers though. Try goofing around with you brightness and contrast if possible. You may also want to try adjusting the curves in photoshop to archive true blacks from your scans and then start editing them.
Title: Re: PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)

The most often places artifacts happen is with text and other small stuff on the back IMO.

Trust me it does no good. About 95 % of ALL the covers on that site are stolen from other websites. I tried reporting some of them when i saw some of my covers there but they never did anything about it and if they did basically all the covers would be gone from that site. As is almost every other cover website on the net I've seen covers from this place on a bunch of other places but can't do anything about it.

What does this case tell us? That our covers are the best on the net and we are the only ones how don't need to steal others covers without asking!!! ;D

By the way or site is free to download the covers from so if we don't want to share our covers we could just make the site private and only for special members to download.... Is that what we want? NO! ;)

I've been trying to work with the "Games for Windows" header lately and this is one of my first, the sadly overlooked PC gem Rogue Trooper. If you decide to pick up a copy, then keep in mind that on Vista, it's impossible to get past the on-rails Hoppa chase sequence in the later half of the game, due to some creative code calls that clashes with Vista. However, it works fine on XP.

These really arn't expansions. EA comes out with a stuff pack every few months that just adds a few more items and clothing nothing more. They've done just about every type of theme for a stuff pack so far, it was only a matter of time tell they did something like this.

got to agree with you there - they are definately a good start, but stretching the back to fit is a definate no, no (unless it's just a small percentage) and there seems to be lots of borders around various parts of the image.

Sure i uploaded a grim fandango cover a few pages back - not sure where that ended up  ???

I found out that they were crooked.  I'm in the process of rescanning everything straight again.  So I say I have roughly half of all the PC games rescanned as raws.  Anyone else want to take a wack at them?

Don't have photoshop.  I do my stuff on Paint.net

Post by: tiktektak on August 16, 2008, 09:33:14 AM
@Mister Creazil:

I did all your covers today.... You know that is what I "love" about people.... Always complaining but not doing their work 100%.... I had to finish up 2/3 of your covers because either they were unclean with many spots which looke ugly, or they were wrongly sized(600dpi?????), some of them had grey borders on the left and right side....

You want to know how long it took me to make all your covers ready to be posted? 3 hours!!!!!!!

Please in the future if you plan on doing more covers triple check some points!

1. Is the cover clean or does it have spots where there are greyish lines or dust or dirt!
2. Is the cover correctly sized(DVD cover 3225x2156, STACKPack 3360x2146)
3. Is the cover sharp and everything is readable!

Thanks anyways for your time and effort and please be a little bit more of a perfectionist in the future...

For comparison maybe take a look at the hexxxers covers, his are near perfection....

Regards Sebastian

@anders:

All your covers are wrongly sized.... Ploease redo and reupload them...

I just checked and all the covers I've uploaded so far are 3225 x 2156, which as far as I know is the recommended size for DVD covers. I'm not trying to be difficult, but I'm not sure what I should redo?

Star Trek : Federation Compilation

(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t289/Grumbleduke/strek.jpg)

I dont play games on PC as a rule (well not anymore anyway) and all the old games i have are packed away in the loft. However, whilst cleaning out cupboards i found this compilation in a huuuuuge square box. So i thought i would make up a case for it.But as two thirds of the games would'nt run in Vista at least, without some kind of emulation, using the Windows template would be incorrect. Although one game will run in Windows or at least Windows 95 so....Oh well..i went with a DOS box, and rebuilt the back cos' the front was as is, but the back was a little un-informative I.M.O.

I used your Gothic covers and both looked in good shape so I don't imagine they were deleted for quality. Actually while I am on the subject, do you think it would be possible to design a Gothic 1 cover?

I did a gothic one cover already, I used the original box and took a lot of care with it.  Same goes for gothic 2.  The warcraft ones I still have on my computer but my brother deleted my gothic ones accidentally, wouldn't take to long to remake I guess.

As i become older, i prefer the 'switch on, insert disc/cart and play' simplicity of consoles and the hardware's miles more fun to collect and own. I did install the Star Trek adventures where this quote was taken from on my Laptop though,via emulation. Quite good fun when i got them working actually...

Ha..Impossible Mission!! The speech was amazing! Got the Master System version now.Yes i was staunch speccy till my mates one bit the dust and he went Commodore. Then when i played on it,i had one of those 'have to have it' moments. I picked up a Speccy 128 at a carboot about 6 months back but have not messed about with it much since. Loaded up 'Everyone's a Wally' just to check it all still worked though. Alas my old C64 has ROM probs and wont start anymore. I have an eeprom burner so one day, i will find some time to have a crack at it. :)

Title: Re: PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)
Post by: sheep2001 on November 22, 2008, 03:10:40 AM
I'll have a go at this - couple of questions:

Do you want PAL or NTSC?
Do you have raws you can upload? (
Did you want the original logo from each game on the spine - or a more generic one for uniformity (more like the sleeping dragon/angel of death one)?


edit: just re-read your message, and YOU are going to work on them - even better  ;D
I would be interested in PAL versions - and woiuld also like the inclusion of Broken Sword 2.5 (available free here: http://www.brokensword25.com/)


edit:

something along these lines - or a more fancy spine?

Post by: Sark on November 22, 2008, 10:10:15 AM
Wow those are good mockups already! The spines look good, but I don't like the PC template, is that fuzzy pc logo a standard? Most of my other games use the Games for windowstemplate I think that should probably be the standard for pc titles in america at least. The other games i have in DVD cases use the PC DVD template but none of these games are on DVD.
I do have all the original material, unfortunately no scanner  :(
But that's not really a big deal since i don't like the american artwork on all four games  >:(
Yeah I was going to download Brokensword 2.5 so that's good idea!
All of mine are the american NTSC versions so the first one is just titled circle of blood and the spine is sort in an intricate gold
broken sword 2 is titled the smoking mirror they both haved virgin on the spine but neither match.
the third one has broken sword also in gold with adventure company website and adventure compnay logo
the fourth one has only a paper box and is titled secrets of the ark in america, the 3 discs are in paper sleeves and has only secrets of the ark and adventure company on the spine.
I have limited photoshop abilities so i'll do what I can.

and the Fourth game would be labeled Secrets of the Ark instead of Angel of Death

i must say it's grown on me - wasn't keen on using it at first, but now i've completed a few customs for people i think i might switch to it.  Although, as i'm about to move to a 7mm case for my own collection, it will be a VERY modified spine i end up with.

Title: Re: PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)
Post by: Hexxxer on December 01, 2008, 01:43:53 PM
I was thinking about modding a design to feel a little more home grown but attempt to match current cover spines in a way. My old attempt was based off of the PC DVD/CD template which I always thought was hideous and hence the final product I produced stayed to close to that for the sake of matching spines.

Examples of my previous attempt:
(http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m96/ryanmichaelpotter/jediknight2.jpg)
(http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m96/ryanmichaelpotter/test.jpg)

I don't like that one in the Sonic R version as some of it feels low res, odd textures and feels abit amateurish, that is just personal preference though.

So that being said, I would like to implore the users of this board to help design a new cover. It does not have to be one everyone uses but at least it would bring in a standard of sorts. We could work on a different Dos, Window, Mac, Linux configuration if it were desired as well think and thick spines. Everyone using it should get a say on it's production and anyone can contribute mockups and designs at any point. Not everyone is going to like everything but at least everyone gets a say.

The one standard I would put out for these templates though is the images MUST be of the highest quality. Nothing that seems scanned or of a low dpi fell. The template I originally built was built using vectors and I would like to see that again if possible.

Title: Re: PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)
Post by: sheep2001 on December 01, 2008, 03:07:53 PM
agreed - i remade the games for windows banner on the ones i have just submitted, as the one on the site is a pretty grainy scan.

i was using Hexxers "PC Game" template for a while, but have gone off it.  I quite like the Windows logo banner that Sonic R is on, but my favourite at the moment is the "Games for Windows" - However, as i said above, I am moving to 7mm so I don't mind which standard gets passed for DVD cases, as i'll probably just end up doing my own thing anyway - unless of course we do a 7mm version of the adopted standard.............
Title: Re: PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)
Post by: Hexxxer on December 01, 2008, 03:13:52 PM
I think whatever standard we decide on will include a 7mm plus any other common DVD case sizes. I like the Games for Windows cover but it's kinda like putting a SNES cover on a Genesis game, Games for windows represents some features like XBox 360 controllers, windows live accounts among other things. I would say a good reference point would be the games for windows case as it is simple and has some elegance in it.

I really like that windows flag/MS DOS logo on the spine. Maybe moving it to the top in place of the "PC Game" label. I'd mock it up but I don't have a windows logo with transparency. Besides, It's pretty easy to figure out what I'm talking about. There's three ways we could do the logo too. You could use a background (like most, if not all, console spines), with a semitransparent background, (so it doesn't get in the way too much), or with no background at all (like it is on the bottom of the spine on your mockup)

Is consistency in the size with other templates valuable to people? I have always tried to match the size of the template with what is currently standard.
Title: Re: PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)
Post by: sheep2001 on December 01, 2008, 05:17:59 PM
I really like that as a starter - has my favorite bits from your old templates, and the GFW template.

The only thing is, for consistency, people would have to re-cover every new purchase if we go for a custom design as standard  -  perhaps not everyone is as anal about consistency as most of us - hahaha

in terms of your question about size - yes for me, size is important (hehe)  i am planning to make myself a master template with the spine equally sized across all formats.
Title: Re: PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)
Post by: shenske on December 01, 2008, 05:58:24 PM
As with all templates i make everything is a separate layer and is editable.  I found a super high rez logo on the net and recreated all gradient patterns for the top banner on the front and spine.  It also has the "old PC DVD, PC CD" template included.  It also has a normal and live option
so this is what i'm going to stick to ...

Games for Windows

I may just alter the games for windows on the side and keep the original logo there. That way it matches current covers with the only difference being the titles, this way the Game for Windows template will match spine for spine. We can do away with the logo in the thin versions.

As far as a dos version I was thinking of doing a red theme instead of blue. Any ideas?

I would live to stick with the games for windows template just take the "Live" part off of it and have an interchangeable "CD" and "DVd" template.
I don't mind the grey PC template though, just all of my other games are in the games for windows format.

Correct, the "PC DVD" portions and the "Games for blahblah" text are editable. 
The "live" part is also removable by hiding a layer.

so here is my version of the Games for Windows template based around the cover of Bioshock and Gears of War(cause I own them). This template is about 95% custom created from scratch save for the warning logo on the back and the copy right information text. Even the Blue bar under the logo was redrawn by me. Everything should be 100% customizable excluding the colours on the system requirements and the live requirements. I am working on the thin and thick version, I am just waiting to get official case sizes for them. This is not the final version and may need a few more tweaks and features after getting feed back. Enjoy.

2 flavours of the original SimCity (I saw it requested somewhere)- 1 based on original big box artwork, and one more fitting with the later incarnations.  My assumption was that this was only released on floppy, if that's not the case please let me know.

Hi, guys. Been awhile. Was wondering if someone could make me a Windows cover of Path of Neo. Here are the raw scans of the box. I'd make it myself but my skills aren't has good as you guys and this one looks like it needs some of that skill. First off this is the best scans of the front and one of the sides I can get because they are reflective. Also the tape is still on the back of the box. I tried to take it off but it quickly became apparent that I could not get it safely off, even with the Goo gone stuff. There is some minor damage but nothing major.

http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/the7k.custom.win_psychonauts_gamesforwindows.jpg

There already was a Double Wide version of Psychonauts for Windows here, but I ain't got no stack packs. So, here is one for standard size DVD cases using the "Games for Windows" template, just cuz I think it's spiffy. (the only DVD case I could put 5 discs in was a PS2 case, actually; none of the others would close. Just in case ya wanted to know how I actually put 5 CDs in one DVD case.)

I've been planning on re-packaging all my PC games into DVD cases with custom covers for probably over a year now, but I just joined the forums tonight.

Anyway, just wanted to say adapting the Games for Windows template to all of my games is exactly what I wanted to do, so I was so happy when I finally got to the most recent page of this thread and saw that you all had decided on the same thing! And all your work is flipping awesome! Seriously nice stuff.

(Plus I love the vibe in the forums, I'm so used to juvenile behavior on forums/comments this is quite refreshing, hah.)

I have a bunch of boxes I can upload when I get a hold of a scanner and Iwhen I finally start converting all my games I'll post my progress.

Keep up the awesome work!

Post by: the7k on February 24, 2009, 07:15:57 AM
Yeah, as a teenager, I used to just keep my PC games in those CD Folders, but that just lacks so much of a zazz of high-quality covers, not to mention the protection it can afford.

As for behavior on the boards, I'd like to think the niche appeal of this sort of thing has a lot to do with it. Most people I know don't care about how their stuff looks on the shelves while we're the type that gets peeved every time we get a game from Gamestop and there's 50 stickers on the box we have to peel off and hope it doesn't leave junk behind (and it always does...)

Anyway, I'm looking to make covers for a few more of my PC games, but I'm not going to say which. It'd be a pleasant surprise if someone made one of them so I don't have to worry about it, and I don't wanna promise something I may not deliver on.

Oh yeah... welcome to the fold. Hope ya stick around, we can always use more cover makers.

Title: Re: PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)
Post by: the7k on February 25, 2009, 10:54:57 AM

Digging through Google. Lots and lots of digging through Google.

Sometimes it brings results; I was very lucky to find that Tentacle vs Gordon pic (It was too epic a part of Half-Life not to include as soon as I saw it) and that very well done Vortigant image. Apparently, both were concept art images. Everywhere else I looked for Half-Life concept art only had Half-Life 2 concept art, which I believe we've all seen about a hundred times (I know I have).

Other times, though, Google yields nothing. Try as I might, the only image of Adrian Shephard I could find was the original cover to Opposing Force. So, lacking anything decent to work with, I just decided to take the same Lambda Wallpaper that Shenske used for Half-Life DC, make it green and replace the Gordon in the center with the only image of Adrian in existence. (I thought that, what with Adrian being a fan favorite, there'd be some fan art of him. I guess we all make mistakes.)

Post by: the7k on February 25, 2009, 04:12:59 PM
Well, if you are going for a single-player experience, definitely get They Hunger 1-3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Hunger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Hunger). Also, before he made that, he made a map-pack for Half-Life called "USS Darkstar", also worth getting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Darkstar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Darkstar)

As for multiplayer, my favorites were Science and Industry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_and_Industry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_and_Industry) and Front Line Force http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontline_Force (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontline_Force). I never played online to much with Half-Life because I had a 56k modem for the longest time; those two, however, were really fun.

There was also Holy Wars, which was basically felt like Quake III Arena on HL, due to the bulky models and arena intentially being designed that way. It had a whole bunch of newly-deceased people fighting in purgatory over a Halo that would allow them admittance to heaven. If someone got the Halo, then it was all against that one person. If you kill someone without a halo while you aren't holding it, you are branded a heretic and suddenly you also become a target for everybody. The Halo would also grant the holder regen, high defense and quad damage, so it would require everyone to drop their rivalries and form quick alliances to take down the halo user before they held it for enough time to win.

There was also another mod I played that was really interesting, but I can't remember the name; You only had 5 weapons, which were modified version of existing HL weapons (The Crowbar was an insta-kill, the Machine Gun had infinite ammo, The Shotgun became a Sniper Rifle, the Rocket Launcher became a devastating Mortar and the Trip-Mines became Proxy Mines), plus everyone had rocket packs that would activate just by holding jump after jumping. The best part, though, was that the mod was compatible with any Half-Life DM, Counter-Strike or Team Fortress Classic map. If played on a CS or TFC map, it went from an insane Deathmatch game to an insane Team game. It made the game truly epic.

So I went to Staples last night to get some paper and a paper cutter, all in preparation of starting making covers tonight. Yet when I took my printer out from the box (I haven't used it in like a year) it didn't work. Canon tech support (props for replying in a couple hours) said I'd have to take it to a repair facility.

I'm incredibly pissed off because I got this printer in order to make covers but realized I didn't have the time and it's been in the box ever since. I literally used it one time after I purchased it and now it's broken.


So. pissed.

[edit]
I got it working again with toothpicks... long story... but prints looks like crap. However, looks like Canon might actually replace it, which, if true, is f-ing awesome.

I've gotta Kodak printer myself. The Ink is cheaper than any other brand, and the Printer itself is a Printer-Scanner-Copier combo that I got for $50 on Woot.

For a while, it was perfect. However, after getting fed up with Windows, I switch to Ubuntu and found out the hard way that Kodak doesn't support Linux. I can't even print with it using Wine; the only way I can use it is to restart the system and reboot it under Windows XP.

I just don't understand it. Why would a company willingly ignore a decent segment of their user base? It's not just Linux, they also don't support Mac OS. I mean, c'mon.

Yeah I need to find my old copy of Lemmings so I can put it in a nice dvd case :) I threw this cover together pretty quickly.

Didn't lemmings come on a 3 1/2" floppy? I'll have to hunt down my copy now... Its in its box around here somewhere...

I'm sure it did originally but my copy is on cd, and the jewel case it came in looks like that box so that was a good find for me.

I only liked the original Lemmings so I never bought any of the other ones.

Found this site of this guy who made a few game covers for some PC games, just thought it was interesting. I should find his e-mail and see if he wants to upload his stuff here.

Ascendancy was one of my favourites when I was young.... A very good strategy game indeed....

By the way.... I'm in the process of quality checking all PC Covers which were uploaded so that the PC section gets a little bit of love... ;) I hope it won't be a disappointment....

Wow! So many covers got uploaded to the site today! :D Thanks a lot.  Was there a problem with my lichking cover though? it's the only one I did that didn't get uploaded. Not trying to be a problem, I just want to know what to fix before I upload again.

*edit* Oh and Simcity 4
Title: Re: PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)
Post by: tiktektak on March 11, 2009, 06:07:11 PM
Ok a quick runthrough of all the covers I checked:

@ Mister Creazil: I have to say that your covers are getting better and better... You show more love to details especially on your latest covers making them look really good(only some little very little things I had to clean = nitpicky me ;) ).... Lichking the size was the problem... I don't know what happened but both covers are 3216 x 2158? for normal DVD covers they should be 3225 x 2156.... Sim City 4 has the same problem we talked about the last time as far as I remember... The front and spine don't blend well into each other... They have different "blue's".... I tried to fix it but it's pretty difficult(= time consuming)....

@ sheep: Most of your covers were nice.... I just have a little problem with all the slim covers...

We got so many different sizes for slim covers so I dunno which are correct or which cases those would be.... Afaik our slim case "standard" size is 3150 x 2175.... Now I have uploads here with 3236 x 2173 and others with 3139 x 2156.... So what are all those "new" case sizes?

Couldn't we agree to one slim case (size) we use??? Would make an admins life much easier....
Title: Re: PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)
Post by: MisterCreazil on March 11, 2009, 06:15:24 PM
Hmm, the simcity cover is just as I scanned it.  It printed out just fine anyways. Fixed the size issue on the Lich King covers though :)

Also as I understand it the slim dvd cases come in different sizes, some are slimmer than others :P so it might be a little hard to come up with just a plain "standard slim case" dimensions.

Sim City is a problem child.... *sigh* You know stuff often prints out better than it looks on screen but the purpose of our site is to get the best possible quality... ;) I'll look at the lichking again....

Slim covers are a little of a problem for me because if there are so many different case sizes for slim covers I'll never know if it's another slim cover size or just a mistake made in the pixel dimensions...

I haven't really said anything about the templates earlier but I personally just like sticking with pccd/pcdvd one unless the game is an actual game for windows game.  Simply because Games for Windows is a brand name and not all pc games are an actual "Game for Windows" game.

Yeah, I understand this, but I just like the template of it. That's why I use it. Plus, I like my stuff to look unified.

Plus, I though we were going to use modified versions of the "Games for Windows" line from other types of games, like "Games for MS-DOS" and others.

Post by: MisterCreazil on March 14, 2009, 03:00:16 AM
makes no nevermind to me, if someone uses a template I don't like I just paste the pccd template over it. I like the PCCD one better because that's the one I see in stores.

offtopic but whatever happened to TheWarlock? He made good covers.

Has anyone made any Neverwinter nights 2 + expansions covers?

Look under "F" for "Forgotten Realms: Neverwinter Nights 2" thats what its listed under. You'll find two that I did a while ago. The NW2 one is a stack pack from the limited edition though. Also I have the second exp but I havn;t uploaded it becasue it was already a standard case and I normaly don;t bother with them unless I'm covernting it to something smaller. I'll scan it and upload it for you though.
Title: Re: PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)
Post by: Adm_SkyWalker on March 14, 2009, 09:31:49 PM
Just uploaded a raw of NW2 exp 2 Storm of Zehit

http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/raw/Adm_SkyWalker.retail.raw_win_stormofzehit.jpg

I don't have adobe installed right now so I can't clean it up and resize it. If anyone wants to take a stabe at it it also has some sticker damage on the bottem of the front. Whoever put the cover in did it so it still stuck out and then put the bottem sticker on. Which I didn;t notice until after I pealed it off to quickly.

I also uploaded raws of Call of Duty: World at War and Fallout 3.

http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/raw/Adm_SkyWalker.retail.raw_win_callofduty-worldatwar_au.jpg
http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/raw/Adm_SkyWalker.retail.raw_win_fallout3.jpg

Both are from the Collecters Editions but they are same as normal editions with two exeptions. Call of Duty doesn't have a UPC code just some text and Fallout 3 is a standard case while the standard edition is a stakpak. Which is strange since the front and back is the same on both versions and the spine is just smaller nothing else.

Some of them I won't though, such as this one for Gabriel Knight (http://www.lwelyk.com/Covers/JPGs/Gabriel%20Knight.jpg). I had no artwork so I made that since it's better than nothing.

As I posted most of the recent PC covers I have to say that you will have to wait a "little" longer.... I plan on making a cover posting spree including all PC covers at the beginning of June.... Until then just post them here so everyone who wants can download them from the upload queue....

Without any template or just with another template? Because I have the original art for a larger DVD case still that I can easily just scan in and modify slightly.

Anyone want to make my box scans into dvd covers?  I'm doing some of the really old stuff like Eye of the Beholder 3, Nethack, Icaris and other stuff.

Thanks for all the uploads :D It's nice to see your covers get put on the site.  Can I ask why my Sim Societies and Creatures 1 & 3 cover didn't get uploaded? I know Creatures 2 was still a little messy, I'll try cleaning it up some more and uploading it again.

Hmm..... Sorry but I uploaded so many covers lately that I can't really remember what exactly was the reason for not making it.... You can always be sure that it was mostly because of quality issues though.... Afair  on some covers the screenshots were really really badly stretched, some covers were a little redundant(only very minor differences) and some had low res stuff on them(fronts)....

you need to fix the pc dvd thing on the top, the Rated E looks squished and I'd remove pc-dvdrom on the bottom of the spine since it's redundant :P  But those are all little things, other than that it looks fine to me :)

all in all really nice though - and the game looks fun!

I like it better without the gradient personally, I tried doing that myself earlier but I couldn't get the color select option to work well enough and I'm not good enough with any of the lasso tools to do a very good of it by hand, especially on my laptop.  Maybe if I had a tablet or something more precise to work with.

Just made a cover for the original Civilization. The background, especially on the back, doesn't quite look right, but I've printed it out and it isn't noticeable. Not all that happy with the background colour either, but that's what was on the original back, so I've left it like that.

Original scan was of the Players Choice release, by Sega-Ozisoft.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Deathtrap Dungeon.

Not a particularly enjoyable game, but I needed a cover for it.

Back was difficult to do because of the shape of the original box [an isosceles trapezium], in particular the bottom left corner of the bottom screenshot got cut off. I should probably have tried to find a replacement screenshot, but I didn't really want to waste too much time on this game.

Found them, hope somebody finds use for these. Do what you will with them, rip them apart redesign them, build your own template out of it, whatever. Everything in these is 100% re-rendered in Photoshop meaning no shitty quality here! The Dos one was not finished entirely and I have long since formatted my PC and misplaced the source material for some of it. Should I come across it I may redo the back to be a little more reflective of the dos style.

Discworld

Slightly custom cover, as the back of my box is ripped, so I'm missing the first couple of paragraphs of text. I've replaced them with a couple of not-entirely-related Discworld images, which is the best I can do until I can get a scan or readable picture of the back of the box. Not perfect, but better than having a coverless DVD case on the shelf.

Diablo, Hellfire and Diablo II, in the style of the Best Seller Series re-releases. Hellfire was never released as such, but I wanted matching covers.

Just two that I did for myself.

The Complete Ultima VII
(http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/2007/diswincultima72.jpg)

Did this one from scratch, seeing as how it is nearly impossible to find a hi-res scan of the original box. Have had just the disc by itself in a jewel case for years, so this needed to be done. That, and I just <3 it.

PC Gamer Classic Games Collection #1
(http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/2455/diswinclassicgames12.jpg)

Another that I had to do from scratch. Got this disc almost 10 years ago, and the cardboard sleeve that it came in is pretty beat up. Had to make the PC Gamer logo, myself, since I couldn't find any hi-res images of their old logo. I tried to make it as close to the original sleeve as possible.

Did a few others, but they're not as 'original'.

I'm working on a "modern re-imagining" of some of the older AD&D games. Primarily the gold and silver box series games, along with other games of that era. Currently working on the two classic Dark Sun games. Ravenloft will be up next and I've even got a cover for the Dungeon Masters Assistant and one for Unlimited Adventures in the works.

These might not be for everyone as they eliminate the color coded outline (except for the back) instead using the entire area for that high quality artwork of Clyde Caldwell. There is still some work to do so these aren't ready for release yet, but here's some previews:

(http://i28.tinypic.com/adhk74.jpg)

(http://i30.tinypic.com/35ktrms.jpg)
(http://i32.tinypic.com/w2kgv7.jpg)

A few are lacking perfectly crisp artwork such as 'Hillsfar' plus most of these were DOS/came on 3.5" floppy so eh, these might go straight to box.net, I don't know. The whole idea was that they could sit right next to a 2010 game and look good. What do you think?

with the way the heretic cover is it would end up stretching the skull on the front too much. I would have to remove many of the things on the cover to make it work resulting in wrecking the look of a book.  I can try and see what I can do tho.

Trying to convert all my "big box" PC games into DVD cases, because my shelf is really starting to clash.

Elder Scrolls Chapter II: Daggerfall
(http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/5567/disdaggerfall.jpg)

Final Fantasy VII
(http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/776/disff7pc.jpg)
(Yeah, the back looks like crap, but that's what happens when Eidos makes trapezoid-shaped boxes. :| I was going to put another character's 3D model in that white space, but all the pictures I found were too low res. Any suggestions?)

Half-Life: Game of the Year Edition
(http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/7275/dishalflife.jpg)

Half-Life: Blue Shift
(http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/1925/disblueshift.jpg)

Half-Life: Opposing Force
(http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/3750/disopposingforce.jpg)

Quest for Glory: Shadows of Darkness
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/8518/disqfg4.jpg)
(Place that sold this had that horrible yellow sticker on the back, and I didn't know what else to do with it, since removing it would likely ruin the box.)

Try getting your hands on a European release or a scan of one. We had the standard rectangular box here. Too bad I threw mine away, but I was a kid back there and didn't know any better.

Hi!

Since i was a bit tired of making SNES covers the last time i've tried something else.
I have some Big Box Games at home and i started to make DVD covers to save some space.
A few of them have already been uploaded to TCP (name was Marduk2097), but the
current one miss the "PC CD-ROM" - now the have this "Games for Windows" bar.

that would be me that requested torchlight some time ago. thank you

was wondering if you could make a version with no bar across the top of the front of the cover/spine for me?
been making most of my covers without the top part of the template for a while now in the last 2-3 months tho I haven't gotten around to posting them up for people to get a hold of ><.

And peach I should have asked before I changed your FF7 and 8 covers but I needed them in stackpak size because of all the disks.
Also RecOne how about an original unreal one. And whats the best way to print your covers since there not in 300 dpi?

Post by: RecOne on June 17, 2011, 07:58:01 AM
@Mrlips
Of course i like to do a cover for wages of sin, but unfortunately i don't have it.
It's hard to find here.
Do you have a scan of the box?

I don't have the original unreal anymore, but i already thought about to play it again.
So if get a complete copy i will make a cover for it! :)

Oh the covers should have been saved for a print-out in 300 dpi.
Let me check please and thanks for the info!

That's perfectly alright. I don't mind if people need to alter my covers for reasons like that. I only made it the 14mm size because I have cases that size that hold up to six discs.

Upcoming: Alien Trilogy, Aliens vs. Predator 1 & 2, Duke Nukem 3D - Caribbean, Duke!Zone, Terminator Future Shock, Blood 2 Nightmare Levels

I have edited the spines at all covers. The reason is that i thought they were to chaotic since i have centered the titles in the past.
Now the titles begin at the same spot, i have also removed the company logos and added a mini cover. I'm looking forward to hear what you think about it.

Wow those look fantastic!

I'm new on the site and looking to make some covers for my Star Trek PC games. Have these templates (Windows and DOS) been released? I can't find them in this thread or the templates thread. I saw several pages back Shenske was making some like this and someone asked if he'd put them up, but I didn't see a link.

Hi again,
it's Alien and Predator day, so here come the next ones.
Currently i have no paper to make a test-print, but i hope the quality is okay.

Unfortunately i wasn't able to get a copy of Duke Caribbean :(
(if anybody has the original with box and likes to sell it, think of me! - Also for "Nuclear Winter".)

These are coming soon: Blood 2 UK, Blood 2 Nightmare Levels UK and US, The Terminator - SkyNet, Duke 3D Duke!Zone, Redline Gang Warfare 2066, Unreal, Unreal - Return to Na Pali.

@TyrannicalFascist
Thank you! I try to make the covers as good as i can.
I'm not completely pleased with every cover but thats how i can do it at the moment. :)

No, the templates have not been released. I've just put them together by myself.
I can upload the template on box.net if you like.
But mention: they are not very special and due to the fact that use PhotoImpact, the different layers and logos are not well assortet. :)

When working on Skynet could you please make one without the "Games for" bar?  Also if possible can I get Duke Nukem 3d without the "Games For" bar
Title: Re: PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)
Post by: RecOne on July 07, 2011, 12:38:31 AM
@Hexxxer
That's right, for the DOS Bar i have used this or another cover as base because i like they way it looks!
(but i only took the round DOS Logo, the rest has been made by myself).
Also the Windows-bar logo was taken from another cover. If somebody has a problem with it, please tell me!
I don't want that somebody thinks that i steal his work to tell it was mine.

@elysianrsa
I have planned to edit them all later. For now i like to get them in one style before i start to convert them all without bar. :)
The reason is (i guess i have mentioned it somewhere already) that the big boxes don't fit perfectly to the DVD case format.
And i won't stretch them out of the original size. I mean who wants a fat or too thin Terminator on a cover? :)

Thanks! I like the look of the Games for Windows/MS-DOS style the best, so that's what I'd like to use for the Star Trek covers I have the assets to make. Only problem is I use Photoshop CS5. Maybe you could render out blank versions of each template (Windows, DOS) as a JPEG? Or if you prefer, I could just use one of your finished covers for each version and remove the non-template parts, effectively recreating the template.

Sorry to double post, but RecOne I went ahead and used two of your covers in your box.net files to create a template I could work on (hope that's ok). I also really like your idea of putting the tiny box art on the spine, so I emulated that.

So here's my first attempt at two three PC covers. Since these are the first of several Star Trek covers I plan to do, I thought it would be neat to have that game's commbadge at the bottom of the spine. I also added a unique System Requirements section at the bottom of the back cover to compensate for the back's size, rather than stretch it vertically. I started with two three classic Trek games I grew up with:

EDIT: Added Starfleet Academy preview.

Of course it's okay! Feel free to use the covers! Fortunately PhotoImpact gives me the possibility to save files as .psd.
I have already uploaded a zip file with the template to box.net! Maybe it's a help! (I just hope the file format fits).

Further don't expect too much from the template. :)

I'd love to take a look at the real covers! The previews look nice! The spines remind me of some Paramount DVD covers! :)

I just finished Redline, now i am on Unreal and Unreal Return to Na Pali.

Well, I've finished my first batch of covers to my satisfaction! If you want to download them, I've set up a box.net account that's now linked in my signature, as well as here.
The first batch of Star Trek covers includes The Next Generation: A Final Unity, Star Trek: Generations, Star Trek: Borg (DOS and Windows versions), Starfleet Academy (meant to include Chekov's Lost Missions in one set), Starship Creator, Star Trek: Legacy, and Star Trek: Armada.

Also, I made covers for the two earliest games I remember playing on DOS as a kid - Ducktales: The Quest for Gold and The Amazing Spider-Man.

I have assets for all of those except Klingon Honor Guard, so I'll try to get those in the next batch. If you or anyone has a cover and back scan for Klingon Honor Guard, I could make one.

I have a front and back for honor guard but its only 72 dpi I haven't found any hi res.
Title: Re: PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)
Post by: TyrannicalFascist on July 08, 2011, 07:39:51 PM
Since I'd somehow never heard of it, I was curious and did some looking, and eventually found the assets I needed for the Klingon Honor Guard cover. The back is still pretty low res for my liking, but it'll have to do until someone can get a scan of the back for me. It also gave me a chance to add the Klingon-style HUD for the System Requirements area and the Klingon symbol, which I'll use on a few other Klingon games. I've added the download to my box.net folder. Enjoy. ;D

@Hexxxer
That's right, for the DOS Bar i have used this or another cover as base because i like they way it looks!
(but i only took the round DOS Logo, the rest has been made by myself).
Also the Windows-bar logo was taken from another cover. If somebody has a problem with it, please tell me!
I don't want that somebody thinks that i steal his work to tell it was mine.

@elysianrsa
I have planned to edit them all later. For now i like to get them in one style before i start to convert them all without bar. :)
The reason is (i guess i have mentioned it somewhere already) that the big boxes don't fit perfectly to the DVD case format.
And i won't stretch them out of the original size. I mean who wants a fat or too thin Terminator on a cover? :)

Sounds good I'll try to get back to work on some of the covers that I was working on.

I have finished some new covers, too. Hope you enjoy them.

Post by: TyrannicalFascist on July 10, 2011, 08:52:16 PM
Great covers, RecOne!

Here's round 2 of Star Trek PC covers: First off I have quite a few options available for the Elite Force series (one of my favorites). For Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, I made covers for the original release, the Expansion Pack, and the Collector's Edition.
 
(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/6233/icefpc1.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/194/icefpc1.jpg/)(http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/9158/icefexppc.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/171/icefexppc.jpg/)(http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/5114/icefcepc.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/192/icefcepc.jpg/)

Alternatively you can use either the first one or one of the other two alternative covers I made to house the game and expansion together. The second one uses the Expansion Pack cover art, and the third uses the game manual art and has a blue spine.

(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/6233/icefpc1.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/194/icefpc1.jpg/)(http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/3222/icefpc2.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/97/icefpc2.jpg/)(http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/2520/icefpc3.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/714/icefpc3.jpg/)

For Star Trek: Elite Force II, I made 2 alternate spines - one using the game's logo, and another that matches the Elite Force 1 logo.

(http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/2607/icef2pc2t.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/836/icef2pc2t.jpg/)(http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/889/icef2pc1t.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/685/icef2pc1t.jpg/)(http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/8659/efspines.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/269/efspines.jpg/)

In addition, I made covers for Star Trek: Bridge Commander, Star Trek: The Game Show and Klingon Honor Guard, which I previewed several posts ago.

(http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/2572/icbcpc.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/32/icbcpc.jpg/)(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/2586/icstgameshowpc.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/820/icstgameshowpc.jpg/)(http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/4789/icklingonhonorguardpc.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/832/icklingonhonorguardpc.jpg/)

Everything has been added to my box.net folder. Enjoy!

The cover for Terra Nova is great, thank you so much for this one. One of the best games ever too.
Title: Re: PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)
Post by: TyrannicalFascist on July 12, 2011, 02:27:10 PM
Those are some great covers, elysianrsa! I actually remember some of those games! :P I was actually considering tackling some other more obscure Apogee/3D Realms DOS games after Star Trek too, like Wacky Wheels, the Commander Keen series, etc, and other freeware/shareware DOS games I grew up with.

I've decided to upload a mini-batch of new covers to my box.net folder today, so I can focus on the remaining requested covers and the last on my personal list next.

First up is the DOS game for Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Second is the great follow-up to Starfleet Academy, Star Trek: Klingon Academy. Third, I've updated the back of Star Trek: Legacy to include the System Requirements area to match my other covers. Finally, I made a cover for Star Trek: Online. Once I can get a decent scan of the Collector's Edition box, I'll make an alternate cover for it.

(http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/674/icstvdos.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/845/icstvdos.jpg/)(http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/2935/ickapc.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/143/ickapc.jpg/)(http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/4833/iclegacypcdvdb.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/121/iclegacypcdvdb.jpg/)(http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/1394/icstopc.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/685/icstopc.jpg/)

And here's a look at the Star Trek cover collection so far (not including alternates), in approximate release order:

(http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/4245/trekspines.jpg)

I am hoping to eventually tackle Star Wars PC covers too, but I don't have many original boxes myself, and I have yet to find a good source for cover scans. When I do, I'll probably take a similar approach as Star Trek, only using appropriate era and faction logos (Empire, Rebellion, Old Republic Era, etc.) on the spines and backs instead of the commbadges. And at least with Star Wars, they'll all have a consistent spine that starts with the same Star Wars logo.

I'll also take any more Star Trek DOS/Windows requests, and I'll see if I'm able to make them.

Thanks! Yeah I guess they do look like DVD movies. :D

@Mrlips
I have the assets I need for all of those except the back cover of the Omnipedia, so I'll go looking for that. I may have to do several batches, since I completely forgot about the Starfleet Command games, and I'll definitely want to make several options for each one. I'll also update Armada if need be to have an alternative matching spine with Armada II like I did with Elite Force.

Actually I have a Commander Keen's Collection cover that I made sometime ago.  I think I'll update the template that it used to the newer template.  I also took care of some other classic games like the Hugo series.  Right now I still need to get a good 3D realms/Apogee logo to use on my covers.  I will also be making a cover for the Book of iD/iD Anthology.  When making that cover I will also try to get the actually book part of it made up too.

Oh yeah - a good 3D Realms logo would be very helpful!

Ah! The good old Commander Keen Games. I used to play some of them back in the past! Oh boy, many years have passed by now since then! :-[

Today i have a small update. I did Redneck Rampage (US) and Redneck Rampge Rides Again (US).
Now i'm waiting for Shogo, Blood 1 and Sin - Wages of Sin to arrive.

I at some point I made a fun version of Wolfenstein 3d and Spear of Destiny that had a border made with wall tiles from the game tho the cover of it was made using scans of the manuals I had so they aren't in the best of shape.  I might re-upload them for people once they are transfered to the new template of mine.  When you do get the Wolfenstein 3d/Spear of Destiny scan could I have you sent me the raws also to update the ones I used?

A simple observation on the Games for DOS template, sorry if this has been mentioned before & this isn't specific to elysianrsa's Duke Nukem cover at all, but shouldn't the template say "Games for DOS" seeing as DOS is an acronym for Disk Operating System instead of "Games for Dos" (games for two [in Spanish]) ?

Hi! Thanks for suggestions! I will update my covers, too. But i guess it will take a while. :)

Today i have no PC Cover update. Only some news.
I just bought some games today: Terminator Skynet (hope it will arrive this time), Spear of Destiny and Doom 1.
So these covers will come definitively within the next weeks.

@elysianrsa
Of course i will upload the raws for you on my box.net account! You're welcome!
Just tell me if you need others, too! :)

Today i've picked up Wolfenstein 3D from the customs duty office... finally after two hours of waiting at the office i got in my hands!


Bist du nicht aus Deutschland? Dachte Wolfenstein 3D is beschlagnahmt?

Doch, ich bin aus Deutschland. Ich bin nicht sicher ob es noch beschlagnahmt ist order nur noch indiziert (kenne dazu keine aktuelle Liste).
Ich habe es einfach trotzdem versucht, da nicht jede Sendung bei unserem Zoll landet. Aber letztendlich gab es ohnehin keine Probleme
da die äußerst "netten" und "lebensfrohen" Menschen... äh Beamten beim Zoll Null Ahnung hatten (Spieltitel war auf dem PayPal Beleg angegeben).

Das ging nur "Zoll: Was ist in dem Paket drin? Ich: Ein altes PC Spiel! Zoll: Ah ok, gut! Um die Ecke zur Geldstelle, MwSt bezahlen..."

Well, yes back to business! ;-)

These are my new covers:
Attention Spear of Destiny is still hot. I have just finished it a few minutes ago.

BTW: Tomorrow i will visit my friends at the customs duty office again... hurray!
But it is for a good thing: Blood - Cryptic Passage US. (Of course this will be the next cover).

I'm also waiting for Final Doom UK, D1000 (Doom Level CD) and X-Men Ravages of Apocalypse (Quake TC) to arrive.

Very nice covers.  BTW I wasn't able to find the raw scans of Wolfenstein 3D that you had on your box.net account.  Could I also get the Spear of Destiny Raws?
Title: Re: PC game covers thread (was: Official PC game template)
Post by: RecOne on August 10, 2011, 02:08:54 PM
Thank you! :)

Alright, i found the problem. I just moved the file out of the correct directory. Now you should be able to find the raws on my box.net account.
Wolf 3D is available and Spear is uploading at the moment.

And here comes Cryptic Passage for Blood.
I could not make a test print since i'm out of ink. So i'm not sure if the front needs to be a bit darker or not.

Just tell me if can help you with other raw scans!

Today i have only two new covers: D1000 (Doom level CD) and The Terminator - Rampage.
I did them a few weeks ago, since then i haven't done anything. I'm a bit unmotivated at the moment...  :-\

(http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/5317/d1000prev.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/846/d1000prev.jpg/) (http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/364/terminatorrampageprev.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/691/terminatorrampageprev.jpg/)

But i have still some new ones pending: Duke Caribbean Life's a Beach (US), Quake - X-Men TC (US), Freespace 1 - The Great War (DE), Freespace 1 - Silent Threat (DE), Freespace 2 (DE).
I also have Final Doom now, but this one is already available at the main site. (But i think i will do it anyway, too)

At least i played around with a cover for the Duke 3d TC "Starship Troopers". I tried to stick to the WizardWorks covers on the back. The front is just a test. And the spine is yet undone, too.
Just have a look at it and tell what you think so far.

Hey! Haven't been around for while. Unfortunately it seems to be very quite here!?

I played around a bit today and following you will find two WIP covers.
One is the Call of Duty Collection and the other one is for all F.E.A.R. games.

What do you think? Would you use such "All games in one Box" Covers?

(http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/1687/fearcoll.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/571/fearcoll.jpg/) (http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/4540/codcoll.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/560/codcoll.jpg/)

At leat i still got some covers for old stuff to do: Quake X-Men TC, Freespace 1 + Add-On, Freespace 2, Duke Carribean and Final Doom.
Haven't started them yet, but i guess within the next weeks you'll find them on box.net.

Wow lots of great covers since I was last here! That Games for Windows/MS-DOS template has really taken off.  ;D

I've been doing a lot of custom DS spines lately, but I intend to return to do more Star Trek PC covers as requested, and if I can find raw scans, similar Star Wars series covers for PC.

Didn't really know where to post this as I didn't want to intrude on the PS1 and DC PolyCase threads.

I made this today as I was bored and also needed the cover.
It's pretty minimal but it does the job... I just used random high quality pics from Google.

Hey Rec!

Nice Template for Windows.... I've been busy trying to make covers for my disc only PC games (been mainly creating Poly-Case covers) and I used your template to create a cover for Fire Warrior US.
I made the cover completely from scratch using high-res images I found online and I tried to duplicate the Retail cover as much as possible...

I wanted to upload it to the site but there is no selection for WH40k: Fire Warrior... only for the DoW games.
I have uploaded it to my MediaFire account for now.

All versions can be downloaded here: http://www.mediafire.com/?vwrorl5fwlnel (http://www.mediafire.com/?vwrorl5fwlnel)

Amnesia: The Dark Descent.
Hello, my name is Erika, and I am a new member on The Cover Project.
I have a PC game that I love but I'm too scared to play some parts. I got Amnesia: The Dark Descent on my birthday as a birthday gift from my grandpa.
I noticed right away that there was a box cover art, but when I took off the cover, there was no cover for the dvd box itself.
I did not like how the US version of the box art looked so I decided to take matters into my own hands and redesigned the cover itself.

I would appreciate it if you do view the cover art, that you would please comment on any opinions you have. This was my first cover for any game that I have designed, and I would like your input on it.

Thank you.
P.S.- The link to the cover is below.

I haven't read the whole thread yet, but I have a huge PC game collection.  I don't have a list, but I will gladly scan anything needed. Mainly old DOS games, but a large variety overall..

I sold my boxes last year, but I keep all manuals and paperwork if I can.

.
Anyway,just let me know if there is interest and I'll try  get a video or list of all the titles posted..

Hi there,

i have reworked some of my old PC game covers (currently around 30+ covers).
Basically i have removed the "Games for Windows" and "Games for DOS" bars since i do not like them anymore.
Instead i switched to the usual "PC CD-ROM" flag in the upper left corner of the cover.

I also started to collect only Games that have the "PEGI" rating (our big "USK" logo in Germany looks awful...).
In that regard i've added the corresponding PEGI logo on those covers (the flag in the upper left corner is color coded for that it fits to the age rating).

PEGI 18 = red = flag also red
PEGI 16 = orange = flag also orange
PEGI 7 = green = flag also green

Here are some examples to visualize what i mean:

(https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/22df/k67h21b7vdvz23s4g.jpg) (http://www.mediafire.com/view/k67h21b7vdvz23s/preview_GFW_vs_PEGI.png) (https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/8fcd/ewjvmg7ehdkclpm4g.jpg) (http://www.mediafire.com/view/ewjvmg7ehdkclpm/preview_GFD_vs_PEGI.png)

You can find all versions - the old "Games for..." and the new ones in my box.net account.
Hope you like it.

I've re-done and uploaded a new big box to Amaray conversion to my box.net account.
Since some older covers used bad quality scans - i had to build a lot of the "PEGI Style" Covers from scratch...

Alien Trilogy, PC, German Box (Removed some text and advertisements from the front)
(https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/0fac/b1rtxdvlfk4q3086g.jpg) (https://www.mediafire.com/view/?b1rtxdvlfk4q308)

(https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/e8be/7ku3x5gwexq2gf66g.jpg) (https://www.mediafire.com/view/?7ku3x5gwexq2gf6)

(https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/cf49/n19g1j2qkdn2t5w6g.jpg) (https://www.mediafire.com/view/?n19g1j2qkdn2t5w)

I don't know when i will have time, but these will be the next covers:

-Kingpin (My big box isn't in the best shape, i'll try to clean it up as good as i can)
-Sin
-Sin: Wages of Sin

Nice idea with the original Doom logo! :)

I've got two new covers, too. I've done Sin and Wages of Sin from the scratch again.
I know Wages of Sin has some spots on the front that do not look completely clean, but my box had some stickers on it...

Sin (German Version)
(https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/6af8/bb5gnu3fsx2ssr26g.jpg) (https://www.mediafire.com/view/?bb5gnu3fsx2ssr2)

Sin: Wages of Sin (Add-On, UK Version)
(https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/a0be/9dlr2xjghmmuyzg6g.jpg) (https://www.mediafire.com/view/?9dlr2xjghmmuyzg)

Coming soon:
-Zaero for Quake 2 (US Version)
-Kingpin: Life of crime (UK Version)

As always - the covers can be found in my box.net account (in my mediafire account i only store previews...)


Does really nobody have the Blood: Plasma Pak box??

Anyway, i like it so i keep sharing my covers, today it is:

Hello,
I was told to post here.

This site doesn't has cover for Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) (Windows), so I searched the internet for it. Now I want to share it so the next person doesn't has to search. How do I do this?

I tried to make a new Steam Backup template that looks a bit more like a retail game.
But right now i'm stuck... i'm not sure if this is the way to go.

Thanks for your reply!

Today i modified the template once more and i think i got it now.
I removed some texts and kept only the headlines - looks less chaotic (plus most DLC do not offer that much text anyway...).
Also made the big screenshot slightly bigger.

This is the current version:

Made covers for Asteroids (1998) and 3-D Ultra Pinball: The Lost Continent.
I did the best with the only scans and samples that where available on the internet for these games.
Pretty obscure stuff but I'm sure there's some people other than me who has these games.

These are nice. I'm a big fan of Joymasher (Blazing Chrome soon!) so I might use these. You should change your signature to a Mediafire folder that encompasses all of your art rather than 20 folders at once, much easier to navigate and you can see at a glance which folder is what.  Also necropost. No one's making PC covers anymore?
Edit: Just found a couple other PC/digital threads. These are all over the place!

Currently yes.

Mediafire has never deleted my files but they tend to change the way they link the files once in a while so the links need to be fixed.
