**Done** REQ:Mario Bros Classic PAL-A (NES)
ShoothimNow:
Hello all, I have a request from an ebay member that helped provide PAL scans of Ultimate Stuntman. He pointed out that we have the PAL-B version of the Mario Bros. Classic Arcade, but we do not have the PAL-A Version.
From his email
--- Quote ---Also I have a request. I need the cover for the original Mario Bros (not super) on the NES but the ones you have aren't what I need.
You have the US, PAL and JAP versions but the PAL version is the PAL B box.
I am after the PAL A box released by Mattel with dual Italian and English on the front. Do you think it would be possible to source this version too?

What I found online (slim pickin's) was this picture:
If I stretch and warp this image into a cover:
Here is Shenske's touched up NTSC cover:
It shouldn't be too hard to recreate this PAL-A box, one would think.
I have too much on my plate right now, but would someone be able to re-create this (or does anyone have this version to scan?)

Thanks Tyler, I recreated the crappy version with the better images

I decided this would be a fun challenge and am working on the cover. Shenske's cleaned up cover actually needs quite a bit of work itself. There's a lot of dust still present and the back text is pretty rough, so I'm reworking pretty much the entire cover. I'll let you know how it goes!

Thanks again Tyler =)
I remade most of the "icons" for the Series. I need to find where I put those, and I'll post it for you. Any icon I have ever really spotted has been crappy, so figured it would be good on my off time months ago to do that. Ill keep you posted.
