Here is my attempt at a vertical cover for Ogre Battle 64. I reused the spine from another cover. Blurred/Fixed "Noise" on the cover from the original on the site, not sure how I feel about it since I haven't had a chance to print mine out yet. Also the background on the back is low res, can't really find hi res art work for the game. All the information should be 100% correct. Let me know anything I can do to improve it. Thanks.

Welcome.

Good job on the front artwork (some "grains" remaining, maybe the blurring was not expended enough) and excellent, awesome job on the screens (from an emulator ?) Very very clean in my opinion. 8)

As you mentioned, the "weak" part might be the back cover background. Besides the resolution, I am not completely happy with the color. It would be better with some orange tones along with the yellow (play with color levels). But maybe it's only my own taste.

Anyway, very nice overall.

Redid 007 The World Is Not Enough for the N64 using the PS1 cover art which gets rid of that EA nonsense at the bottom.

It's times like these, when I wish I had a PayPal account and, enough money in my bank account to use my debit card to buy stuff like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/N64-NEW-Custom-Archival-Game-Case-YOU-PICK-TITLE-Nintendo-64-Limited-Time-/160779572001?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256f359321, that I can't find on Amazon.com; which is where I've been doing a lot of my online shopping lately. :-\

Thanks for the tips and reassurance, I am working on it again to clean up the front and I am reworking the back a bit, including to color tone.

All the covers are available here for free.

And he has promised to give us the ones we are missing if requested.

yeah that place is a rip off, I do my cases at the local post net store and after all is said and done I can do for cases for $1.21 each. $0.66 for the case itself, $0.44 to print and I use cardstock paper for $0.11 each. I'm sure others here do them even cheaper than that! Lol!

@ Arseen: I know they are available here for free, I actually have all I need with covers; I just don't have them printed. It's the cases that I'm after, because they're hard to find.

@ Heilman11085: I'm sure it's a rip-off to you, because you can the find the stuff you need very easily and get it done so cheaply, but for someone with very few places to turn to find these cases, and the covers, I'm a bit more limited in my options then you.

As you're from the states, getting the cases should not be hard.
If you need many, read this topic: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=336.0

Or I think this is the place to get them directly, in sets of 100: http://www.mediashelving.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=W&Product_Code=USCG

If you're only after only few, I'll bet someone her will sell you couple.

Hi guys,

NTSC

PAL :

So what do you think ? Is it worth it ?

They're hard to find for me, Arseen and the price they are on the site link you just sent me is ridiculous. Yes, I'm only looking for a few, about 20, not 100, but there's 2 problems with that, 1. I don't have a PayPal account, and 2. I don't have any way to send money to someone on here who'd ask me to pay for shipping the cases to me. Now do you see my dilemma, and my somewhat apparent haste to buy the fully case UGC's from that guy off eBay?

And the prices of the ebay are not ridiculous?
And getting the PayPal account is impossible? or direct money transfer?

Can someone here sell him 20 cases?

And how much was mediashelving charging you?

1. No, it was $9.99 a case with the game covers, and free shipping, which would've come up to $29.99 for the 20 games I'm looking for.

2. I know getting a PayPal account is easy and free, I'm just kinda broke right now, though. So that's the main problem.

3. Mediashelving is charging $42.00; not counting shipping, which I don't know how much it is on there, a case for each case with the plastic slip covers to put the artwork in.
