Are you trying to remake the cardboard box?

Are you wondering how to replicate the color gradients or to replicate the box?

Are you on about the lids? because for green & blue i figured out a way.

US main spines use green
AUS main spines use blue.

Chop the empty 1/2 of the spine and stretch it to size of the lids and they look sweet, This is how most PAL releases look

This is Shenke's mini-guide on creating the green spine & yellow back images of Nintendo 64 covers.
It keeps getting lost so here it is stickied and locked
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GREEN SPINE image

Its really simple, first off you'll want to duplicate your "spine layer" just in case the new colored spine isn't perfect you can give it another shot.  

In Photoshop:
Image => Adjustments => Gradient Map...


Then a little colored box will pop up. Click the area where the colors are and a new little window will pop up.  In this new window there are little selectors where you can choose a new color.  You will only need three selectors (one on the far right, one in the middle and one on the far left).

Far Left (Dark Green)
if you want to go into greater accuracy you can mimic my exact colors i use.
When you click the far left selector to choose a color you can enter color values (numbers).
R: 20,  G: 61,  B:18

Middle (light green)
R: 71,  G: 192,  B: 82

Far Right (white green)
R:196,  G: 255,  B: 184

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

YELLOW BACK image

Same step as before but the selector are in different locations.  You can fidget around with these a lot more loosely than the spine colors.  I often move the selectors around until i get it just right.



Left:
R: 231,  G: 109,  B: 0

Middle:
R: 255,  G: 234,  B: 0

Right:
R: 253,  G: 249,  B: 189

That was kind of the advanced version but its not too hard to figure out  :)

Same process for each of the gradients. Just change the colors accordingly  :)

Yeah, but it's kind of hard to replicate the numbers for the blue spine gradients on the site (P.S. like Mario Party
