Hi Guys,

I was looking into old topics about games that where released by TWG. And I almost always read how great the quality is. But when I look at the pics for example of "Sweet home" CIB the corners of the label look like sh*t and the fonts used on the box don't really match the original fonts on capcom boxes.

I have to say the artwork for most of the games is very good in my opinion.

Maybe I'm a bit of a freak, but for me all these things have to spot on in order for me the call something great. What are your thoughts about this?

You're looking at an older version when they were still cutting stuff by hand. They eventually had custom dies made for their NES/SNES boxes and labels.  I actually have a copy their Sweet Home sitting around somewhere. One that used the dies and wasn't cut by hand.

All my stuff started that way as well (cut/made entirely by hand). But, like TW, growing meant more $$$ coming in, which meant reinvesting in new equipment, bigger facility, more staff, etc. which means quality is better and more consistent.
