I was going to make one, but figured I'd wait to see if you'd finish and share yours. Looking forward to checking it out!

It'll be Monday night before I have mine up, since I use the guillotine cutter at work. Once I post it, if you believe you can make a higher quality one, by all means please do. My time won't have been wasted, as it's been good experience. :)

Okay, this is the first cover I've shared, so be gentle! :P
Typography's not really my thing, so I just cleaned up the scanned text the best I could. The fine print took a little damage, but I think the rest looks decent. I'm sure someone could make a better one, but I believe this is good enough to be perfectly usable--maybe even up to site standards.
Last note: as there seems to be disagreement over exactly what size Sega Genesis/Megadrive case covers should be, I'm sharing this as a UGC cover for now and letting anyone else sort out what they want to shrink it down to.
Anyways, here's Wonderwall Turrican.

I'm looking at your cover from my tablet and it looks pretty good.

That looks excellent flamepanther, awesome work!
Finding the right font can be a huge pain in the ass. I go to fonts.com and fontsquirrel.com and use their font identifiers to help track down mystery fonts I encounter. Sometimes it works well, other times it's a struggle and requires a lot of trial and error. I hope you don't mind, but I went ahead and replaced the text on the back of your cover. If you like it, feel free to use it when and if you submit your cover to the main site. If you'd prefer to recreate the text on your own, the main font on the back is Centrum. And I definitely think it looks good enough for The Cover Project, by the way, and would encourage you to submit it for review after leaving it here for a day or two to gather any additional feedback from the community.
