I would find it very useful personally if you uploaded what you had.  That way if you have already fixed the typos/ made improvements and what not it would save myself and others some extra time.

Almost every time I print out a cover, I retool them to my liking. In addition to fixing spelling and other small problems.. Sometimes, it's just slight cleaning and spine adjustments. I can't really see much of a reason to share
these cover, however I've been thinking better of it as I've done a whole bunch.

An example of this is Punch-Out!! I wasn't really happy with the one on the website so I reworked it for myself. Should I even bother posting stuff like this? I can but it just seems like something that will get buried.


I am CONSTANTLY on the look out for better covers..  Whether its small improvements on not.  My OneDrive has plenty of space..  I would actually really appreciate you uploading these..  I'll compare them to what I already have downloaded and pick a winner to host permanently on the OneDrive.  I can actually send you a link to load them up there directly on the "NintendoCovers" OneDrive and not clutter up your BOX account..

I was downloading covers a year before I joined. So, it's been about four years that I've been coming to the cover project. When I first started printing covers, I was printing hundreds at a time and I wasn't really examining the quality of the covers. I've considered taking pictures of my collection for the cover project but I've been unhappy with what I see. In stead of seeing a unified collection, I see off-centered spines.  See Example.



Anyway, I've been reprinting my covers and in the process, I've noticed how poorly constructed older covers have been. Sadly, after I was done printing some of these covers (that I had retooled), I'd just delete them. But after spending a few hours cleaning and fixing some of these covers, I was like... maybe I should post these.  So, I am trying to go through my trash can on my desktop to see what I can save and post. I'll just stick them on this thread.

I have actually been doing the same thing for my NES collection for about a year on and off. Making sure all of the spines are uniform, editing and fixing all spelling errors.  I have about 200 of them done so far but since I have a complete NES library I have a ways to go yet.

I think sometimes your don't realize the mistake or the quality until you print it out.  The biggest problem that I notice is the white scum that is on some of the covers...for instance metal gear for the nes

Is there any chance we can get the original version of the Menacer insert, instead of with the red stripe?

Yes, please post them. Remember that I made a master list with linc to covers that are in different thread. If you post them and this are improvement I should change the one I have in the master list.  ;)

Master list (for now it's only nes master list, but I will make other master list for other consoles.)

NOTE: I've had jury duty the past week and I have two more weeks to go. So, I won't be able to post/update TCP as much.

This summer's been busy. Usually, I have more time for cover project related things but... Well... My daughter, who is 6 years old, has been asking for her own youtube channel. So I started writing and filming a show for her. The special effects are taking me forever. I'd originally hoped to get two episodes done before the summer is up but If I get one episode done, I'll be thrilled. This is a preview:

Also, for the next week, my job is sending me to Atlanta for a convention. Nothing exciting, just a Legal Education Technology stuff. Anyway! Happy E3! I'll be round next week.
