Hoggs NES/SNES covers

[Hoggs17]

Thanks man!  Yeah, it's a lot of fun making covers.  I only have about 20 more games to go (but i only have 8 UGCs, uh-oh).  And yeah I used your Pilotwings logo 'cuz the existing logo's from the retail boxes weren't doing it for me.  Thanks for the offer man, i'm not sure which ones I might need but I'll hit ya' up if I find one.

Instead of adding to the previous post, here's a new batch.


Mickey Mousecepade


Punchout


Adventure Island


Ghosts 'n Goblins


Mega Man 6


Tecmo Super Bowl (not a raiders fan but come on, you have to put Bo on there)


Tetris


Karnov


Bad Dudes


Dr. Mario


Kid Niki - I absolutely cannot find any decent art to put on the back.  My current background is simply a cropped out drawing.  If anyone can find one, let me know 'cuz i'm not satisfied with this one


Slalom


Life Force

[Hoggs17]

Getting close to the end of my game collection, trying to make covers for what i consider to be not as popular games (which in turns means not a lot of art/sprites available)


Rygar


Rush'n Attack


Kung Fu


Super Mario Bros. (redone with black background and yellow NES logo)


Crystalis


Yoshi


Batman


Dragon Warrior (I used the gameboy title logo cuz I'm not finding a good NES one, if anyone had a nice high res one that I could borrow I'd greatly appreciate it.)


Tennis (with an off black background so you can distinguish the main character black outfit)


Tecmo Baseball


Final Fight (with original SNES logo cuz i'm not a fan of the other one)


TMNT3: The Manhattan Project

I've updated a lot of my covers to reflect better sprite images, if anyone wants me to upload I will but I haven't done it yet.

Here's a Secret of Mana as well

Oh man, now that i've printed out my covers; i think i'm going to change it up.  I think the retail cover on the outside with my covers as an insert would look better!  time to reprint everything

Well you can save some time and ink by printing he retail covers onto separate paper and by simply flipping your current covers inside out.

I came to the same conclusion, I love being able to look at my shelf from 10-15 feet away (or collection pics) and still know what games are there, then when you open them up the custom art looks very sexy.

I love how simple yet awesome these covers are. I was actually thinking of doing something similar myself

[Hoggs17]

yeah i have a few extra covers printed off so i put a copy of one cover inside as an inlay and put the normal cover on for the outside and i like the way the inlay looks (with my "back art" being on the inside left of the cover.  i like it a lot better than having a plain white background on the insides.  But since i don't want the inside to look the same as the outside, i figure i'll print off retail covers and stick those on the outside and use all my currently printed off outsides and turn them inside.  I guess i'm half-way there!  now if only i was better with a dremel so i didn't scuff up the insides that hold my NES games...

A lot of my UGC modded for NES look like crap inside. When I do a bunch of them in a row I get better by the end, but it's tricky to be precise the first few times.

[Hoggs17]

my last 10 or so were pretty good but my initial 10 weren't too hot.  looks like i'll be putting my favorite games in those last 10!

I've also put a few pics up of my covers and spines.  I prefer the uniformity of my SNES covers to the individualized NES covers but I like them both a lot more than sitting around loosely in my closet!  As you can see, I don't have a huge collection but I am happy with what gems I do have.

[FritzWhite]

Gems indeed! quality>quantity every time

[Hoggs17]

Here are my last two covers (until i snag more games).  Gonna print these off as inlays and hit up the retail covers for the final product (until i change my mind again).  I figure my next two games (and covers) would be double dragon 3 and ninja gaiden 3 but not sure when I'll get around to ebay'ing them.


Ice Climber


Yo Noid!


New Dr. Mario

Dr Mario looks badass on the back
