I gave it a try, the pics on the back need replacing due to the quality. Perhaps some touch up..... but what do you guys think?

I like yours!  It inspired me to go into a different direction, though:

I found the original production still that the box art is based on, and went with this:

I slapped it together pretty fast, and there is a LOT of touchup I'd need to do - I just wanted to see if the concept appealed to anyone before I went further.

EDIT: I already replaced all the Rambo logos, and cleaned up the edges on the NES logo on the lower right of the front - the link takes you to the full sized, updated version.

Alternate version:

Shaggy?  Does what either of us did work for you in any way?

Anyone else, chime in - my eyes are getting sore, and I don't trust them. ;)

Yours would definitely be a great custom, BGC!  Shaggy, do you have a download link for yours?  I'd love to check it out up close.  It may need a bit of recolouring but it looks pretty good at a glance for the most part.  Do you have photoshop or GIMP?  You should be able to adjust the contrast a bit to take out some of the greyish tone.

Thanks!  I'll likely submit both after some more feedback.  I want to get this right.

EDIT: Craaaaaap... this means I might actually have to buy Rambo now.

Haha!  I just picked up Rambo about a month ago because I'd been wanting to play it.  I think if I sat down and gave it a longer look I might enjoy it somewhat, but it definitely starts off, well, not too good.

Yeah, the buzz around Rambo on NES doesn't seem particularly favourable. I never thought it looked all that bad though -- sort of Zelda II like. I'm also quite fond of the music, which at times is, dare I say, quite good.

Sorry to say but I know they won't pass.

Rambo logo texts have fuzzy edges, and it's not solid red.
Back text needs retyping as it too is unsharp,
Nintendo logo has yellow circle around it.
NES text beölow it same thing.
Licenced thingie upper left of back unsharp.
Barcode unsharp.
Legal text right of it ... unsharp.
Quality seal on front... not too bad but still not good enough.
Front image itself out of focus looking

Cover is usable, but not clean enough for the site.

 ;)

I had a feeling. ;)

Back text, no problem, but the Rambo logo will probably need rebuilt, and that's not in my skill set at the moment.
Nintendo logo has yellow circle around it.
NES text beölow it same thing.
Yeah, I was going to redo the logo, but the yellow border on the "entertainment system" is by design.  I wanted it to pop.
Licenced thingie upper left of back unsharp.
Barcode unsharp.
Legal text right of it ... unsharp.

All those things are workable, if I separate them.  I'll work at it. :)

According to internets, RAMBO logo's font is Aachen Bold.

I have replaced all Rambo logos with fresh, solid text.
All the back text is fresh.

In fact, the only things I haven't replaced are the UPC & copyright text (although I tried to sharpen both).

Is this a better direction?

NOTE:  I caught the typos. ;)
EDIT: Updated with better seal.
