I apologize for posting here, but this seems like one of the more frequented parts of the forum, and I need some opinions since I'm going to be printing a lot of N64 covers tomorrow. What I wanted to know is, why are there so many covers with blue spines when green is the color for the bottom of the original N64 boxes? Does this bother any of you? I would think that as collectors who want to display their games, having a mix of blue and green spines on the shelf breaks uniformity and isn't as faithful to the original design of the box.

Lots of people have created covers over the years, and not everyone agrees with what style is best.  Some people prefer a more retail look (which isn't always uniform) and some people prefer a uniform look (like myself).  If you want all of your N64 covers to match, your best bet (besides making your own) is to use Wiggy's style.  They are not hosted on the site, but they are all in one thread.  I'll have to find it.  I believe he has a cover for every US N64 game, plus the 64DD stuff and even a few imports.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Those look very nice! I'm still uncertain as to what I ultimately want to do, but those covers you showed me are definitely a viable option. Thanks for sharing those.
