Does anyone know if a cover exists for this one? Or at the very least a scan of the original box?

I'd ideally like a custom cover of the US boxart. You know, with the nintendo logo on the top of the spine.

Thanks.

I think this was just done, or to be done near future, lemme search for it.

Thanks.

I have to ask, why is this stuff not on the site?
I'm not complaining, but its kind of weird.
This is probably the 6 or 7th cover I've come across (Wild Gunman is a good example) where it looks fine, but just isn't indexed on the site for some reason.
Is it an issue with the site itself, or are the admin staff overworked or something? It's quite strange.

Most often like probably on this cover it didn't quite reach the absolutely high and strickt quality standarts to be posted on the site permanently.
Second reason is that the few selected Cover Admins who have the power to post the covers on to the site (besides Snowcone) are indeed busy and do this on their free time.

Could be any one of several reasons.  That particular cover was being played around with by another member here to try and enhance the quality, but I don't know if he's still working on it or not (you'll also notice later in that topic some people playing around with a new filter created for Photoshop which seems to smooth out a lot of the noise in the image).  I don't believe I ever submitted this to the site admins because I was waiting to see if the other member was going to be able to improve upon it, so for now it's only available as a forum download.

And as a general rule, covers that we know aren't good enough for the site are usually just posted in that thread or others like it.  TCP has a very high standard of quality so only the stuff that's been checked under a microscope makes it up to the site, and even still if it's never submitted to the admins it probably won't make it up anyway.  If you have a specific cover you're looking for (for NES) and it's not on the site, definitely look through that thread and there's a good chance you'll find it.

Or just ask on the forums and let Arseen dig it up.  I named my little Windows Helper paperclip thingie 'Arseen' because they're both really good at finding stuff on a computer. ;D

Could be that I forgot to grab this when Wolf released it. For a while I was downloading them myself before he started sending them to me, and since he was pumping them out like crazy I probably just didnt see it. Ill get it uploaded soon.
