Can we get full retail NES covers?

[kingjohn3]

The uniformity is nice in the current standard template but I guess I'm more of a traditionalist. If I could find NES covers without the big logo that might be alright. I haven't seen alot of covers by different members but I really like larryinc64's SNES template, original front and back with custom spine with small logo's that don't overpower the title. Maybe that would be good for NES as well. Thoughts?

That would be pretty cool.

There are already full retail NES covers on the site. There was no standardized template.

The best I can tell you is that I understand. A hand full of members make both TCP & retail versions of NES games. A lot of people like their covers one way or another. It's very simple to convert a TCP spine to retail. Hundreds of people filter through the cover project and share variations of covers they've made. Use the cover project as a resource and make covers the way you like. You can get a free copy of Adobe Photoshop CS2 online from Adobe and there are 1000 of tutorials on YouTube for learning Photoshop.

I think what I'm calling a template are the covers we see when we click retail on the NES section. Most have the logo at the top of the spine and I just meant a much smaller logo wouldnt overpower the title. Another alternative might be to keep the logo but not use the black background. Just throwing things out there

I'm a fan of the NES image on the spines because it makes my collection uniformed. But removing it should be super easy. I'm a retard at graphic editing, but even I could copy another piece of the spine and cover up the NES part in MS Paint.

For clarity of discussion, I'm going to use the City Connection covers as a point of reference (chosen arbitrarily because I provided the scans )

The cover listed as Retail is what the actual retail box looks like.

The first cover listed as Custom is mostly the same, but has the logo on the spine flipped around to match the direction that the English language is normally written on spines of books, boxes, covers, etc. (seriously, Jaleco, get it together!)

The second cover listed as Custom is modified to match the "standard" layout for NES game covers that most have adopted. The front and back still match the retail cover, but the spine is modified to have the black box with the Nintendo Entertainment System logo on the top, the publisher's logo on the bottom, and the game's logo somewhere in the middle (in this case, lower than it is on the Retail cover, and facing the proper direction as in the other Custom cover)

Any covers that have the black box with the "Nintendo Entertainment System" logo on the top of the spine and are listed as Retail are mislabeled. Those should be listed as Custom.

Sounds good. I think larryinc64 is coming up with a few ideas too.
