Here's a variation or Duck Tales 2.
I used the best elements of both covers that are available and create a new.

I wanted this version so I have the cover matching Duck Tales (1) color, but with NES logo as well.

Here is my first version for the NES 31 in 1 multicart cover. I tried many thing but the result were not good. Ended up creating a generic cover that could be re-used for other multicart.
Any feedback is welcomed.

I couldn't find a high quality TCP cover for Dragon Warrior 1, so I assembled one from other versions I found on the forum.

Thanks a ton, the Dragon Warrior cover update was much needed.

Not sure how I feel about the added Enix badge there. I do like seeing the company on spines, but it makes it less retail-authentic. I could just shop it out, but I think the worst aspect is that if I decide I like it, I'll start wanting those on every other NES cover...

Thanks! The Enix badge is actually on the retail box. I also put it there to insure uniformity with existing DW covers.

how are you doing your barcodes? It looks a little off.. I generated mine on a website as a PDF at 200%, then capture and paste it on my cover.. I have barcode fonts, but they usually just end up being a pain..

What, really? So the existing covers weren't retail-accurate? The more you know.

You rock, 100%. Thank you for these! I wish I could make stuff like this.

I haven't done any original art on this one, only basic photoshop operations :) so I don't know how the barcode was done.

I think the current DW 1 cover on the site might have been done a while ago. Standards seems to be higher today.
Don't give me any credit for this one, I only spent a few minutes updating / merging existing covers I found on the forum as I was printing covers for my DW's and couldn't find a nice TCP vertical :)

Damn, you're right. I must have been at the wrong cover through my shelf (it's present on the 3 sequels). Since it's a TCP spine, I assume I should leave it there but if somebody doesn't want it I can make another version.

Sorry for the mistake :)
