The covers for the SNES game Out of this World and Another World should be merged as they are the same game just named differently in the US and PAL regions.... As this site is american I think they should all be merged under the Out of this World cover.....

I dont think thats a error... this is 2 different covers for 1 game, but this site is about indexing the covers to download the cover not the game.
Also, many people who has Out of This World, may not know thats the same game as Another World, and they will only look for the name Out of This World, no seeing, the site dont have it.. bye..(vice-versa)

On PS2 and on PC games where I mostly put my hands on we have many cases like this...
Example, Ace Combat 5 - The Unsung War is the same game as Ace Combat - Squadron Leader in PS2, being one for USA and other one to Europe... but I dont think everybody who own this game knows that, and when they come here, how they will find the cover of the game they have if its listed in a differente name?

Thats my humble opnion,

Ket

Hmmm.... Maybe you are right... Could make finding a game easier if it is under it's region specific name... I just thought same game same cover site would make things more compact.... So maybe ketaros is right and we should keep games with totally different names for US/EU regions in different cover pages.....

Out of This World was only the title during the 16 bit era, It is more widely known as Another World (the game was a MASSIVE seller in Europe, especially France where it originates from)

It was named Out of this World because of the TV show called Another World, these days it is sold as Another World all over the world, since the recent re-release on PC

So IMO it should be labeled under the AW title, though it isn't a big deal, since fans of those games will know it by both titles

I never heard of Another World until just this moment. I vote for Out of This World. Besides, there was also a TV show in the US called Out of This World

on Wikipedia it says
Quote
The game was released in the United States under the title Out of this World to avoid confusion with the popular but unrelated soap opera called Another World. Coincidentally, a science fiction sitcom called Out of This World aired at the same time of the game's US release.

Eric Chahi (the lone creator of the game) has also stated that the title is Another World and Out of This World was only the US release title (though i think the Amiga release was named Another World in the US in later prints), but as i mentioned, the recent rerelease was named worldwide as Another World, also in the US. The same with the Japanese title Outer World, it has been later changed to Another World aswell

It's no big deal, but the old US title has long since been removed and forgotten by fans of the game

There's alot of info on the game at the Another World Official Website

Except for the fans who, like me, only remember the game from the "Out of this World" and "Heart of the Alien" days and had no idea the series was still around and/or popular.

It's still pretty huge in Europe and it's retro communities. Chahi released a Hi-Res version last year or so that contained a making of video and remastered soundtrack. Also Heart of the Alien has been denounced by Chahi because he never wanted any sequels made.

I think the only game that rivals this games fame in Europe is Flashback, atleast that's the impression i get.

Is there something... off with the cover for 'Turning Point: The fall of liberty' for the 360?  Ive been making tons of covers from this site and this one cover just wont come out right.  Im not computer savvy enough to fix it but it keeps coming out too big.

Here we go...

This come from my research and checkings over PS2 section, meanwhile # and A covers.

On my opnion needs to be Deleted from PS2 Section due LOW QUALITY these covers:

1945 I & II The Arcade Games (USA)
2002 FIFA World Cup (USA)
4x4 Evo 2 (USA)
4x4 Evolution (USA)
7 Sins (USA-Custom)
7 Wonders of the Ancient World (Custom)

These are with incorrect information:

-- # --
50 Cent: Bulletproof (Europe) - The correct is Great Britain for this one, not Europe.

-- A --
Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War (Spain) - The correct name for the spain version is Ace Combat: The Belkan War, without the "Zero", I think it should be created another entry listing Ace Combat: The Belkan War, since with "Zero" is only the America.

Ace Combat: Distant Thunder (Europe) - The correct is Great Britain, thats not the Multi Europe cover.

Airblade (Europe) - The correct is Great Britain, thats not the Multi Europe cover.

Alex Ferguson's Player Manager 2001 (Europe) - The correct is Great Britain, thats not the Multi Europe cover.

Altered Beast (Europe) - The correct is Great Britain, thats not the Multi Europe cover.

Amplitude (Englad) - The cover is the GERMANY one.

Ape Escape 3 - ERROR! Upload probaly broke, the cover got cutted.

Armored Core 2 (Europe) - The correct is Great Britain, thats not the Multi Europe cover.
Armored Core 2 (USA) - ERROR! This cover got some problem on its resolution on its half down.

Thats it...
Everything else seems ok on section # and A for PS2.
Doing next sessions later..

I allready told snowcone about the low quality covers which need to be deleted but I suppose he hasn'T got much time and he is the only one who can delete covers which are posted.... You know that is one point why I'm asking for the best possible quality because once it's up it won't go down for a long time.... :)

For the other stuff sorry but I haven't got the time to check out such little things like a region or sth Besides I trust in the other admins that they know which region they are positng a cover to......

The Ape Escape 3 cover is broken but can only be fixed by snow.....

Armored Core 2 US cover is also broken.... Looks like there was some error.... You know who can fix it....

that would be nice, especially to replace covers.  Lets say i find a typo, fix it up and put it back up on the site.  that kind of thing.

i open it in paint, the attributes are correct but on 'page setup' and 'print preview' the image is very small.  its probably something im doing wrong - i just havent figured it out yet.  thanks for checking!

If you are using mspaint forget it.... MSpaint scales images down to 72dpi.... You need a better programm....

Try gimp or paint.net....

The case type for the Xbox360 version of GTA IV is wrong. It should be a DVD case, not a Blu-ray case.
