So I downloaded Pin-Bot and did a quick version. I removed some of the tears and problems, however there is still a lot of work that is needed and a couple of the areas I copied are sloppy. If someone wants to clean this up feel free, however this is good enough for me.

Not too bad for a quickie.
I might try to clean it a bit tomorrow, least the texts on the back.

Heck if cleaning is easy for you, doing the quickie throw together is easy for me. Could be a way to knock some covers out assembly-style.

It ain't easy, my skill lvel isway below the cleaning wizards of this site.
But I can solidify the back covers background, retype the text and perhaps replace the screenshots, and remove some scrathes.
But feel free to do more quickies, I'll clean them up as much as I can. :)

But for now good night, it's 5.49 am.

Sounds like a plan. I'm currently traveling cross country in the States so my time is limited but I'll keep working on them when I can in the evenings.

Hey Arseen, did you ever get around to re-typing the DW3 text?  I'd love to have that cover but I don't know how to go about doing that myself.

Forgot that completely, sorry.

But doing it easy.
Just wipe all the text parts away and make the background nice clean solid color (pure white or hint of gray)

Then just copy / paste the  text in parts from here:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/587249-dragon-warrior-iii
And add it to the back on right spots  in right colors.

Here is sample what the back looks.

I can do it later today or tomorrow, today has been so far bit hectic (boss came back from Christmas / New Year break, and we had team meating about a hostile client who tried to stab me with a knife, andother stuff that had cumulated over the two weeks she was away).
I should have quiet evening.

LOL you're going to let a little thing like someone trying to stab you at work get in the way of retyping a game cover?  Psh.   ;D

Thanks for the advice, though I checked out the cover and the back text already looks pretty good to me.  What more cleaning would you have to do on it?

It's not the stabbing, as I was standing meter away, he was sitting in wheelchair back towards me, so no way could he have hit me in that situation.
But now we have to have security protocol update, so I had to go to my work place on my day off. Lost 2 hoursa there. Thenmy sistewr had to go shopping so I had to drive her. Another 4 hours lost.
And I'm feeling lazy... But I'll do it today.

Texts is out off focus. It's not bad, but it could be much better.

Well, as long as you're alright Arseen.  Wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you.

Ooh that's awesome.  I just ordered a copy of NARC myself so I'd love to have a cover for it.  In fact I just today completed 168 covered NES games which means, at 84 per shelf, I'll need to start a third shelf as soon as I get one more game covered.  Was hoping that'd be Section Z but as that was the PAL cover it does me no good so I'm guessing it's going to be DW3 instead.  So that's 168 out of my collection of 203 NES games that have covers.  8)

I've continued to get together some more quickie covers that are pretty much good enough for me, but not close to the site's standards. Here is what I got done.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
Burai Fighter
California Games
Digger T Rock
Godzilla
Metal Fighter
Pinbot

I also made a custom cover for NeoToxin which I recently got a copy of.

Please do share.

Oh and I did start the Dragon Warrior 3 back, but noticed I'll have to redo the back more completely, so it has wait till tomorrow.
