Would anyone be able to make a retail NES cover from these?

Results will not be good with such small images, but I think we can try.

I don't own the box and this is the best I could find online. :( I will keep searching but this is the only cover I need currently.

Yeah I know, it's near impossible to find suitable stuff online.
Hopefully someone here has boxed copy to scan, but don't hold your breath.

SERIOUSLY DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH!!! Getting the scans under 2 minutes is impiossible.;D

Yep I'm totally aware. I'm also looking on ebay right now to see if I can pick up a cheap box and scan it myself and upload it for someone to work with.

Cheap box found and ordered. Should be here by next Friday at the latest for me to scan. So the site will finally have a Rocketeer cover.  8)

Based on the provided covers, most of the artwork could be redrawn quickly using the same method I teach in my photoshop tutorials, Only $19.95. Just kidding, Free. If you can find an image of the spine that is at least the same dimensions as the provided covers, find the font and type out the back & I'll do the cover for you.

Damn that looks good.

Guess I'll have to soon start to live up to my position of Cover Admin and actually really learn to make covers.

Time to start saving for good computer.

I'd say let's hold off on using those, they're pretty dinged up and would require a bunch of photoshopping. The box I ordered looked like it was in pretty good condition. It should be here by Friday of next week at the latest.

I needed this one too, and I was going to piece together a cover off of stuff I collected, but I thought I'd try out the scans Lumberjack provided. Here's a WIP of the front, still have some work to do on the logo:



(and Lumberjack, could I get a scan of the top flap too?)

So, it always happens that I say that I'm going to work on a project and then someone shows their work and says that they are working on it. It really bother me to waste time when I can work on something else. So, since I literally only started this morning, I'll suspend my work and let someone else take on this project. If the cover doesn't get done within a few months, I'll restart it.
