Did you put together those horizontal templates? 'Cuz they look pretty good, actually.

I got some a vector Seal Of Quality ant the old style ESRB if you want it.

Just the N64 one. I took the vertical template and turn certain objects either 90 or -90 degrees in GIMP, then rearrange the objects for the back cover.
I took out the info saying "For sale, rental, and use only in USA, Canada, Mexico, and Latin America" for Sin And Punishment, since it's a Japanese only game.

That would help for the SimCity cover. Thanks.

Apologies for the double post.

I slightly updated the SimCity cover. The logo is blue (like the actual logo for SimCity and not SimCity 2000) and the ESRB is now the retro style.

And I just found out SimCity 2000 was released for the SNES. Hopefully if anyone uses this cover, things won't be confusing.


Also, I've created a new cover. Perfect Dark using the PAL cover for use for the NTSC version. I also made a black spine version to keep with a "Dark" theme.

I didn't think Sin & Punishment would look good in US format but it turned out pretty good. You should take a crack at doing the same for the JP version of Perfect Dark (and both Zelda's for that matter) because the art is just so much better than we got in the US.

Alright, I did just that. I did Perfect Dark using the Japanese cover. I might do Zelda next, but I figured I might as well post this since it has 4 variants.
I did a blue version based on the custom cover by JDavis. Also, I did the red and black spines like last time.





(I used smaller previews so the post isn't clustered.)

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind next time I make a cover for a much older game.

Anyway, I tried to do the Japanese art cover for Ocarina of Time, but I didn't find a good clean version to use. So I decided to go for a much more custom route.





I might do Majora's Mask soon, but considering I had a tough time finding clean art for this as well, I'm not sure.

For game art check MY INLAYS ( NES SNES N64 Genesis)or THIS FOLDER OF HQ ART

I think THIS picture might be better for the OOT cover.

Thanks for the help! I even got another variant out of that.





As for Majora's Mask, I was able to make the Japenese cover work, but it'll take me a bit to finish due to work.

Looks good, on that Inlay, I drew the sides of it out, because the original stops at a point.

It is nicely done. I've gone through your box gallery before, but I didn't think of it when looking through OoT images on Google and the Zelda wiki.
Anyway, thanks again.
