I guess I'd prefer bit more zoomed out front image, but even as is it's heading straight to main cover spot on my list.

I think the correct SNS is SNS-AZKE-USA (least according to GameFaqs)

Release year 1994 (legal text says 1992)
Game by Iguana Entertainment (legal text says game by Nintendo)

So I think the correct legal text would be:
1994 SUNSOFT. GAME BY IGUANA ENTERTAINMENT.
TM AND R MARE TRADEMARKS OF IGUANA ENTERTAINMENT.
1994 IGUANA ENTERTAINMENT.

I'd prefer non-bat sunsoft logo, or use the same size as you use on the spine also on front and back (if possible stay between white lines), also move back logo 1-1.5cm left.

OK, I will update the text. I will check on the SNS number. I took it directly from the scanned box but maybe i mistyped.
Or game faqs has it wrong (would not be first time).

As for the logo, i used the bat logo because that was the logo on the original box. I was actually going to use the normal logo but figured you wouldn't like it :)
Both are OK, as long as the stay between white lines.

I also have the logo's positioned as they are in the template.
I know, I just think it's too close to the spine.

I will upload another version by the morning.
Faster you do it faster it shall be positioned as the main cover! ;)
Where it shall stay untill I manage to make the front more zoomed out. :P (Which might be never.)

Id also put a drop shadow on the logo on the back, to keep it consistent with the front.  And tweak the brightness/contrast on the front image, it looks a little....flat.  Might just be the preview image though, i didn't check the full res.

Looks nice though.

I thought i did tweak the brightness/contrast.  :)

This may be dumb but i don't know how to add a drop shadow. I am using Photoshop CS2. If there is a way, please share ;)

On CS5 its here:

Layer > Layer Style > Drop Shadow

It's been a while since I used CS2, but think its in the same place.  Certainly somewhere in the Layer context menu.

Adding a drop shadow to the rear text can sometimes make it 'pop' a bit more, as it's less harsh than a stroke.  Have a play around with it.

In CS2 it's the same. Also, you can just right-click on the layer and select blending options.

SNS P AZKE is the correct number for the back as it matches the box scan. I also changed the legal text to more closely match the box.

1994 SUNSOFT.  GAME BY IGUANA ENTERTAINMENT.
TM AND R ARE TRADEMARKS OF
NINTENDO OF AMERICA INC.
1991 NINTENDO OF AMERICA INC.

According to box its 1994 Sunsoft and 1991 Nintendo of America.
Finally i changed to the normal Sunsoft logo and added a drop shadow to the back logo. (Thanks for the hints on how to do that)

There are still few beauty spots that could be cleaned but it's now good enough to be added to master list... AND... DONE.

ON SIDE NOTE: Z is now the first letter on the Master List that has all games covered. :D

I added Scooby Doo Mystery. The original scan was rough as you can tell from the back pics. Any suggestions of help with that is appreciated. Comments and suggestions are appreciated.

If you can make Zero - Kamikaze Squirrel in horizontal, that will be perfect. Thanks.
