Hope that all ok.

That's fantastic, thanks a ton! And if you're not superhero'ed out after sheep's Mutant Academy, I've got raws up for Spider-Man 2 (1 of only 4 final covers I need!)

Grumbleduke has been fed his wheaties this week...  That's a nice cover accomplishment thus far for the week.  Nice work, again, Grumble!

and here's the raws for you (if you fancy a go at them that is) - would be fine with custom front BTW, as these don't look very DVD friendly.............

What no Pro Evo?   They look pretty nice, im working through my own PS collection this week, hence a lot of PS covers. However, all my CD/DVD stuff is going into 9mm DVD cases...i need the space!!

haha - just working on the EA side of things - still a stack more to go (although no pro-evo)

I know what you mean about needing the space - but the thought of having to recase around 500 dvd covers makes me want to cry!

Can you elaborate? I'm interested in how people case their media. Are you just slimming down movies and music, or games too?

DVDs and games are finally going to get some shelving that isn't broken or halfway used by books, cables, or printers. My basement is just now starting to become clean so I'm thinking about finally casing my neglected PS1 games. (Also have no covers for N64 and no cases for all GB/GBC and some GBA) Not to mention the obnoxious amount of custom covers I'd have to make for all the demo discs I have. I made one perfect and that took like 1/2 of a Saturday. Nothing compared to the work some of the other admins and gurus do, but it's weird to spend the most time on a cover for a game that will almost never be played. I also feel awful requesting a cover when I can do the work on my own. (except for the template work. Photoshop is so expensive and hard to pirate!)

Well,my goal eventually would be to have everything i have in my collection out on display. However i simply dont have the room to do this so in order to make space, all DVD case based games are/will be converted to the 9mm covers which effectively halves the space each one needs. I also want to case DC/PS1/Mega CD/NEO GEO CD/3DO/CD32/CDI and PC Engine CD in the same way. So basically, all Discs in 9mm boxes,all carts in UGC (except Megadrive and Master System)and one shelf for outsize stuff or NEO GEO carts as they are the only outsize cases i intend to have left. All the original cases and boxes are packed away in the loft. Trouble is i keep buying more stuff so it could be a never ending task.

X-Men : Mutant Academy (U.K/PAL)

[sheep2001]

Lovely!!!!  How the hell did you get the fronts to scale so nicely?

[Grumbleduke]

N.P. I selectively stretched Academy 2 and added a bit to Academy 1.

Here's the link btw.

X-Men : Mutant Academy (U.K/PAL)

Well, congrats, Grumble. For the first time ever, a cover on here has inspired me to purchase a game (well, 2 -- I've just bid on both Mutant Academy games on eBay ). Any chance you've already made (or have the patience to make) NTSC versions of those covers?
