I have noticed that the only options for SimCity are the german cover, and the NA Player's Choice. Is a horizontal retail cover of the NA original, non players choice version possible? Or is it a case of missing art?

If there is a way to check for games missing raw art, please let me know so I don't annoy in the future.

If there just would be possible to somehow copy the back cover of US and paste in onto the German cover... If only Windows would have have some basic program to handle images... nudge, nudge, wink, wink... ;)

I can do that this evening if you don't have MS Paint for some reason.

I could do it now, but I can't access Mediafire here at work to upload it.

And feel free to ask missing covers.

I actually had a reproduction box made up of this one off of a scan I made of an original NA box, so I pieced it onto the UGC template.

I didn't do much to the main front image, since I kinda like the semi-grainy quality of it. Everything else on the cover (including the spine/back logo) was from scratch, though.

And that's why I asked first, because now instead of a merely acceptable copypaste job I get this glorious brand-new high resolution cover.

I've found so far that more often than not, the forums have far more up to date and higher quality covers avaliable for a given game than those hosted on the frontpage.

Thanks so much, Oobgarm, it looks amazing.

That looks great. What did you use to print it? It looks like it's a higher resolution than a typical printer.

It's just an inkjet, actually.

HP Photosmart 7520, 45 lb Zeppelin semigloss paper from Red River Paper. "HP Everyday Photo Paper, Glossy" paper setting, which Red River Paper actually tells you to use, they send you a little guide to getting the best settings out of different printer brands.

I had to literally screw with it for days to get Windows 8 to print things at actual size instead of scaling it up, and then keep fighting to get it to print at Best quality with different paper, because HP's software is horrible, but I'm very happy with the end results.
