Mislabelled original covers

Doom, so "original" is essentially the old term used instead of "retail".
However, I've seen many covers under the "original" category that are in no way like the retail, but are customised by uploaders.

I think the general consensus is that there was no consensus.

Oh my god.... People with no insight talk about stuff people with insight had no insight into and talked about it for quite some tiem to get an insgiht into the stuff they had no insight into before....
On topic:
Long ago there was a time when the coverprojects own site was started. At this time there were no extremly strict rules on naming covers or using specific desciptors... So all the weird descriptors come from the old age.... NOW there are only two descriptors for covers which we(the Admins) agreed too.
Retail Covers = if the cover resembles the retail artwork/style, it doesn't have to be 100% retail but mostly which means you can use a template or freshly drawn logos etc....
Custom = The creator has used different artwork
That's all.... Sometime in the distant future maybe all the covers will be changed to the right descriptors... If someone finds the time....
Until then people should rather be thankful that there are covers for so many games in high quality....
Do not raunzen(Austrian word for whining/grousing) so much!!!!!!
