Aw, if I'd have known a pro was going to do it I wouldn't have edited it on my own last week.  ;)

Since we're on the subject, there are a few inconsistencies I've noticed when printing out labels for my collection.  Zelda and Zelda II's Nintendo logo on the spine is much larger than the rest of the games.  Luckily for me (since I have no graphics skills) it was easy enough to just copy/paste the smaller logo from another cover, centre, and recolour.  Also, Kung Fu Heroes is the only one I saw that uses a black Nintendo logo on the spine (except for Dragon Warrior I which was done a long time ago according to Arseen so I'm guessing there was no standard set at the time).  The Sunsoft logo on Blaster Master is partially missing, and the Capcom logo on the spine of Mickey Mousecapades is off-centre.  All except the Blaster Master one I was able to fix myself without any hassle, though.  Considering I have about 120 labels printed for my NES games I'm amazed at how high-quality the covers are on this site, if there were only a few small inconsistencies among all that.  Truly a testament to the skills of the artists and admins here.  :)

While were on the topic of spines, I just noticed that excite bike has no nintendo logo at all. Yes, the artists here are amazing :)

Uploaded to the site though ultimately we'll need a completely redone Tetris cover. This one looks as if the source used was not high res enough.

Because of the whole PSN incident, they will be offering PSN users Infamous 1 for free (if they choose).  In light of this information, I went to print out a case.  The inlay is the wrong DPI (it is set at 900).

Just wanted to point this out so it can be easily fixed =D

http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=3044 - The NTSC cover has some image artifacts around the "Duck Hunt" logo on the spine
http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=5123 - The colors are too dim so the whole cover looks washed out

Duck Hunt is old cover (as in done when the quality standart were less strickt), hence the dirt and pixelation. It will print out fine though, EXCEPT FOR THE SEALS OF QUALITY WHICH ARE FADED TO NEARLY INVISIBLE!

But the Gyromitr cover is perfect. I have printed that out and nothing wrong with it.

I found a couple of games with broken images:

Strange.... What happened to my M&M cover? Worked perfectly when I uploaded it quite some time ago.

you used the ampersand "&".  The broswer thinks you are trying to call a function / script / mode =P

No I didn't. I know well that we shouldn't use special characters in our filenames. Just hover over the cover download button and you will see it's filename. ;)
