I was able to score the entire boxed set of the Aladdin Deck Enhancer, and it's games, in box.

Style is based on one that Arseen came up with.  Made a lot of sense.

Aladdin Deck Enhancer


Dizzy the Adventurer (Bundled Game)


Big Nose Freaks Out


Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy


Linus Cosmic Crusade


Micro Machines


Quattro Adventure


Quattro Sports

I'll have to check the covers but what I like is how you adopted the Aladding Deck Enhancer logo under TCP spine logo design that I used when I made placeholder covers.

Ahh, glad it was you that saw it then!  I couldn't remember where I got that cover from.  But, yes, I used the style from the only one I could find-- a Micro Machine cover.  It was a nice layout, so I used that.  I also used many elements from cover directly for this MM cover, instead of redoing that from my scans.  All I did was clean up some lines and colors.  Put a small shout-out above for it.

In a related note, I did a little cleanup to the Micro Machine cover above.  If someone already downloaded it, probably should do it again.  The front top line was rough.  And Quattro Adventure is now readable when printed.  Could be better, but close enough.

I'm so torn.  I grabbed the same set off ebay, and part of me wants to keep them sealed in their boxes (let's face it - they're not THAT fantastic of games, and I have an Everdrive)... but at the same time, uniformity...

Ugh.

At least most of the boxes aren't "sealed" sealed, other than the main deck which you haven't done yet, so for now I can at least move the other 6 into UGCs and just save the boxes away.

Finished this project, and have uploaded both the cover for the Deck Enhancer and Dizzy the Adventurer (the bundled game).  That's all of them.

There is no official cover for Dizzy the Adventurer, so I put it together from bits on the Deck Enhancer box as well as a poster that marioxb pointed me to.  The Aladdin Deck Enharcer cover had to have significant modifications in order to be vertical, but I think it came out alright.

I love these.

Thank you for making them.

Updated the original ones I did by cleaning up dust/tears/rips in most places.  Also uploaded them formally so they should show up if accepted to the main page.

If you're particular about that sort of thing, might want to download new copies of them, especially Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy and Micro Machines.  They aren't perfect, but it's significantly cleaner now.

Any chance that spine label could be rotated to match the rest of the set? :)

Open it in MS Paint, copy the text area and rotate 180 degrees...

As posted in my pickups thread, I was given a full set of boxes for the Aladdin Deck Enhancer set.  I was going to scan them, but it seems that everything is out there already.  Is there any want or need for new scans?  I don't mind scanning them again.  The person who gave them to me is a member here, but due to his video game store and family life, he hasn't been on here in a long time so he doesn't scan much any more.  He actually said he was giving me the boxes so that I could scan them for TCP. 
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

I like very much what you did with your covers for the Aladdin Deck Enhancer. I'm evaluating your cover to potentially post on TCP. However, there's issues.  For example, the logo on this image is blurry. Can you provide me with the scans you used to create these covers? I need to see what we can do to fix them so they meet site standards.

If his scans are not available, my offer to scan my boxes still stands.

That would be wonderful TDIRunner. Lets give him a few days to respond.

For that particular cover, the artwork is from a poster I provided the link to. The logo was from his scan. All details van be found in this thread:

Crap.  That's the only one I don't have a box for.  I think that's the one that came with the Deck Enhancer.  That's probably why they had to use a poser for the artwork.  I can scan boxes for any other game or the box for the Deck Enhancer itself if needed.  Sorry.
