Hi,

I just finished converting two of the black box nes games, Clu Clu Land and Urban Champion from the Canadian covers (with both english and french) to more closely match their North American counterparts.
Obviously these would be under the "custom" category, as they are not from original scans.

I'm actually very happy with how they came out, with lots of little tweaks to match the source material as closely as possible.
I figured I'd share. So here they are:

 Urban Champion original: http://i.imgur.com/z7wIsMQ.jpg
 Urban Champion North American ver: http://i.imgur.com/DqyMBOb.jpg

Let me know if anything needs to be changed, I don't see any glaring problems, but then again I might have missed something.

I also have a cover for Wild Gunman, which is the only black box game not represented here, now that "Stack-Up with SWIRLS!" is available.
I can do a cover for it was well, if there is interest.

Best Wishes,
Cam

While they look accurate they seriously need some vector drawing to eliminate all the pixelated edges to say the least.
Also, the font on the back needs to be changed to Helvetica/Arial.

Alright, I can fix the font. In honesty, I had kind of eyeballed it. Thanks, its nice to know the correct font to use.

As far as revectoring them, I don't know if I could do that. I mean I guess in theory I could, but its not really "my thing" so I dunno how long it would take.
The covers that are currently on the site have the same images, well, with some small tweaks to Clu Clu Land where the french text actually overlaps over the image, but it came out really well. So at least its correct in regards to the source material.

If someone who is more skilled at vectors, such as Wiggy, or someone else wants to take a stab at it, I'd be happy to share the PSD files for my changes for the North American box art.

Ok, I reworked the two covers to they use the correct font on the back,
as well as reorienting the logos to they are one word on top of the other instead of straight across like on the spine.

In looking them over, while Clu Clu Land would get an upgrade from vectoring, Urban Champion doesn't seem to need it. *shrugs* You be the judge...

Here are the new versions:

I strongly think that we have Wild Gunman in US format, I'll check for it when I get home.

And please don't spam the same request on multiple topics.
