PC Games - Win/DOS - US - Custom or Retail, doesn't matter

[JCE3000GT]

Hi all, I have a decently large list of PC games that I have discs or jewel cases of but no boxes.  I'm building another set of display shelves in my game room and need to swap over as many of these as I can to standard DVD cases (14mm).  I'll take all the help I can get so I have no preference with retail vs custom!  The list is below.  Thank you in advance.

If you haven't already done so, steamgamecovers.com is worth checking out for some of these covers. They've all got Steam banners on the front and spine, but it shouldn't be too difficult to cover them with PC/DOS tags.

[Dr.Agon]

I have Unreal 2 and Aliens vs. Predator 2 that I can scan, they're in dvd sized cases so would just need a clean-up, probably(?)

Lemme know if you'd like the scans...

Ok great, I'll check that out!  I suck at graphics editing so hopefully even *I* can switch over the steam banners to Windows/DOS/etc.

I can definitely take them and if I cannot make something I'm sure someone else could clean them up.    Thank you!

[Dr.Agon]

I'll get round to it somtime tonight, just need to de-stress from work...

If you need a hand with the banners or the raw scans Dr.Argon provides just give me a shout and I'll be happy to assist!

[Dr.Agon]

finally got around to this after forgetting twice!

as always, Enjoy!

[JCE3000GT]

Thanks a ton guys.  These two are looking good Dr Agon, thanks!  2 down 151 to go!   

I tried to use a template I found on deviant art but I am so out of my element I don't even know how to use GIMP to do what I want it to do.  I know the basics but suck at layers and such.  I wanted to do a plain case with just the title graphic and basic text for the spine for the shelves but stumbled on that.  So, yes, I'm an incompetent noob!  LOL

If you'd like a hand post links to the steam covers you'd like converted here on the forums and let me know what version of the PC banner you'd like, the black bars with "PC CD" and PC DVD" across the top or the white "Games for Windows" top. Or if you want both, just let me which games need which banner.

Also I found a great website with high-res scans of many PC games here: https://bigboxcollection.com/#CollectionOverview If you'd like some of those converted as well do the same thing; give me a link to the cover and a preference for banner, or no banner at all if you'd like.

That's awesome, thanks!  I definitely need to check out that big box site.  I'll look over all of this and figure out what I want to do.     I do like the template I have below BTW. 

In the mean time I created my first custom cover, the top of the back page is intentionally left blank.  Here is a small preview thumbnail.  Feedback is appreciated. 

I used excel for the system requirements box, a barcode generator website, MSPaint for various things, and GIMP to resize and position everything.  A poor man's attempt, but I am satisfied. 




*edit*
Here's another one I did tonight.  Thoughts?

A little disappointed that the bigbox site has so many German and UK scans of stuff I need... 

[Dr.Agon]

I've gone over your list again and I definitely have;
half life 2
Elder scrolls : morrowind

and I think I have

star trek voyager elite force

However I don't have any free time until Monday, so be patient and I'll get back to you...

Also, if you don't hear anything from me Monday, feel free to shout at me, I have a tendency to forget things...

Thanks bro.  I also have a tendency to forget stuff.

I didn't even notice that Big Box website was European. That a little disappointing, but it's still a good source of PC raws for our European users. If anyone wants to download one of the covers on the site, click on a cover then click on the "download papercraft" button in the upper right corner of the screen.

I started on a few of your requests this evening. The template you provided will work just fine. I'm removing references to Steam on the back covers and adding the PC banner to the front and spine. Would you also like accurate barcodes and ESRB ratings on the covers? And do you want the company logo or the windows logo on the spine? And one last question regarding Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (what a mouthful!) was that released on DVD or CD?

Appreciated!  To answer your Q's...

ESRB rating is ok to add, don't really care either way.
Barcodes yes, add that please.  I have a cuecat so just in case I need to scan them in the future.
For consistency I suppose just the Windows/DOS logo depending on the release on the spine is better. 
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II was released in 1997 so I'm going to assume it is a CD-ROM.
