Title: NES Retail Spine Thread - 100%
Post by: mariocaseman on September 24, 2011, 04:37:29 PM: I’m starting this thread because I would like 100% retail spines on my NES games.
I DO NOT want the black NES logo on the tops of the spines, no cropping / replacing the publisher logos – just strictly retail – 100%. I even want the 90-day warranty on the ones that have it.

I have provided links to the covers already made, I just need someone to make the retail spine and substitute it for the one currently there. Some spines are scans, some pics. I know some artists like larryinc64 can work with both, if anyone can scan the spines from their own boxes that would be awesome!. Thanks guys!

Post by: TyrannicalFascist on September 25, 2011, 02:52:54 AM: I might be able to take a stab at those down the road, though I have several projects backed up at the moment. I don't have any NES boxes, so all I will be able to do is work with the images you provide. If someone wants to do any of them now, they can claim them before me.

Just pointing this out, if you do not like the black spine, I made a Red one.

Title: Re: NES Retail Spine Thread - 100%
Post by: idk on September 29, 2011, 01:01:23 PM: the first TMNT would need raw scans to do it. whoever originally made the cover would be better suited. nevertheless, i can do the manhattan project:

Title: Re: NES Retail Spine Thread - 100%
Post by: mariocaseman on September 29, 2011, 02:35:53 PM: Are you sure you would need raws for tmnt 1? The cover was just re-done by another artist in another thread (I forget who), looks like all that is needed is the ultra logo... Check out the links I provided and let me know. My link for the cover is the new one, not the one hosted here on the site.
Title: Re: NES Retail Spine Thread - 100%
Post by: marioxb on September 29, 2011, 04:55:05 PM: Here's what it looks like:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3382/3448973511_9901d2260b.jpg

If someone gets a copy of Shenske's new cover here:

http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=368.msg61255#msg61255

Pretty much all that needs done is replace the NES logo with the Ultra one. Then that spine can be applied to the "all red bandana" version as well.
Title: Re: NES Retail Spine Thread - 100%
Post by: idk on September 29, 2011, 05:40:14 PM: it's only one small part, but removing the NES logo rectangle would leave an empty space that needs to be filled in with the original image.

let me show you here..

(http://i56.tinypic.com/2vtccu8.jpg)

i mean, it could be done without the original, by re-drawing it by hand, but that would take unnecessary work that i personally don't feel like doing. whoever made the cover likely has the original image still underneath the rectangle layer, so all they would have to do is delete that rectangle and pop in the ultra logo. easy, easy.

You've talked to Snowcone recently? Holy cow, I was beginning to suspect no one would hear from him again. I never see him on. (Then again, a quick check of his profile says he was on earlier today, so perhaps I just have bad timing?)

Post by: simonbelmont2 on October 15, 2011, 10:38:48 AM: One vot from me for the project ;D
I would like the idea to change the retail and custom covers to something like this in the future:
- Retail covers to be retail (no custome spines, no license logo editing etc; just like the original covers);
- Custome cover to be custom (with custome spines, license logo editing etc; you understand the idea; from my point of view the covers that are uploaded with the modified nintendo logo spine are a little custom).

P.S.: mariocaseman thanks for creating this thread. Retail covers all the way ;D

Also, if the Chip N Dale 2 logo could be colored orange as is retail, not red. Same goes for the front and back of that Chip N Dale 2 box.

The spine for the 1st should be good enough to do, and if you look at the pic for the 2nd you will see it is the same design as the 1st, just blue instead of yellow. Take a look when you can.

Post by: simonbelmont2 on October 20, 2011, 02:38:55 PM: Good job zakurowrath for the Double Dragon cover.
The cover that was uploaded some time ago here on TCP have a "little problem".
Here is the official cover:
BACK COVER - http://pics.mobygames.com/images/covers/large/1036635949-00.jpg
As you all see the back cover have a players seal of approval that is missing from the cover uploaded here and the adress with the Game Pack, Made in Japan text.
The rest is retail :D

P.S.:
On some sites the front cover for the NTSC version used a Licensed by Nintendo seal differently but all are official/good; here is a little example:
http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/bigboxshots/5/563405_29012_front.jpg - the seal is black;
http://pics.mobygames.com/images/covers/large/1036635947-00.jpg - the seal is white

Post by: mariocaseman on October 23, 2011, 07:14:02 PM: Is there anyone who can finish the spine for Batman. He did a damn fine job, but like me, he is limited and we cannot get the blue sky over to the spine with the Batman symbol half in it and half in the black. This is what it should look like:

Here is the cover done nicely, maybe someone could use this artwork for help and fix it easily..? The Batman symbol on this one needs to be rotated 90 degrees to be retail though.

I'll delete it in a few days due to space constraints on my mediafire account, so let me know when you have it.

And what space restrictions on Mediafire? I have free Mediafire account with 1200 covers and other stuff, and nothing is saying that I'm running out of space.
Title: Re: NES Retail Spine Thread - 100%
Post by: mariocaseman on October 24, 2011, 06:54:21 AM: Yea, but I need the spine to be retail 100%. Therefore, I need the nintendo logo removed from the top, the sunsoft logo removed from the bottom, and the sunsoft logo placed at the top. Exactly like this: http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=ujtk937r9kkow9w&thumb=4

Where have you been all this time!! Thanks, that is awesome. Please feel free to do more. I only need 16 more covers total :)
I THINK larryinc is doing Mega Man and Zakowarth is doing TMNT, but not positive. I would love you to take a shot at A Nightmare on elm street and Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout!

Yes, the covers are all done. I just need retail spines – 100% retail. Can you knock out these Capcom titles? You can use the Capcom logos and warrant info from Larryinc’s Mega Man 3 and 5 spines found here: http://www.box.net/shared/x9q4vbgtzhxkhhxn7dq2

Here are the Capcom spines I need, please be careful. Note that some say Capcom, some say Capcom USA and some Capcom Game Pak. Please be sure all warranty and "for use only in usa..." is all on the spine.

Haha, its all good man. As for raws, its actually easier for me as all I have to fix is a bit of noise and sometimes a bit if box damage. If I'm working from someone else's cover I also have to look out for any mistakes they may have made, sloppy masking, artifacting from resizing things etc.

Always easier to start from scratch than to try and edit and repair.

Ah, thanks for the fix. Have you had a look at Bugs Bunny yet? I provided a 600dpi scan of the spine and Double Dragon II should be easy I'm guessing. King's Knight just needs that little kings knight logo on the top, I don;t know if you can do that one or not. Let me know. I'm still hoping Larryinc will do the 2 Flintstones games.

Post by: Vt102 on December 11, 2011, 03:06:49 AM: Why do people keep using mediafire and box and all of those when we now have a place to upload too.

I want to remind all that keeping track of were stuff is located is close to impossible when you have everyone uploading to different places.

Please use the Wiki to upload your covers so we can better keep track of what you guys submit!

Post by: marioxb on March 15, 2012, 10:45:29 AM: Can someone edit the first post here with a list and links to all of the retail covers created and /or add them to the site?

I messed around with some of the TMNT covers and improved them (I think). First I took the retail version in this thread and fixed it a bit (better blurring between back and spine, removed part of the non-retail Ultra logo that was still visible on the bottom of the spine, fixed the "holes" in the screenshots and added the retail spine white lines).

Here's mine:

Then, I thought it would be cool to have a retail-ish version of Shenske's newest cover where he re-colored the turtles to be more like the cartoon and the toys:

While I was at it, I used my changes to improve (in my opinion) his TCP-spine version of the cover (with the "Nintendo Entertainment System" banner on the spine). Basically I used my version above and just pasted the NES logo back onto the top of the spine, and added a small Ultra logo to the bottom of the spine that doesn't cover any artwork.

Anyway, here's all three in a single zip file. Tell me what you think.
