Great work guys! I'm surprised to see early HAL games get covers! If possible, can someone whip up an AirFortress cover? The game is easily my favorite HAL NES game.

@ supericeboy:

Yo Noid, Ikari Warriors 2 and 3 and Rampage have pretty bad moire fronts. Those should be rescanned with the descreen/derasterize option turned on.

I can fix if they are to dark or haven't got good colors but such moire stuff is unfixable.

Other than the fronts these covers would be perfect. :)

EDIT: A yes and before I forget the "The Firemen" cover from you is in the wrong template. It is an EU game so it should be in the EU template.

Yeah I was worried about the moire on them. I was provided the scans for Ikari 2 and 3 so I can't really re-scan them.

I did the Firemen as a custom request for KaiserWave. I will re-upload a version in the EU template.

Was there something wrong with Ikari Warriors 1? I see my upload is gone.

Yeah those were label scans. I even scanned them at 1200 dpi. Sometimes you can make nice covers out of them but they more work.

Back text is blurry here is the missing text part from back, here is the text partly copied from Game faqsw, partly retyped by me:

These Tiny Toons have big problems.

That's right. The arch enemy of Acme Acres, Montana Max, has kidnapped the ever-so-popular Babs Bunny. Now the furry female's fate rests in the paws of Buster Bunny and his crime fighting pals - Dizzy Devil, Furrball and Plucky Duck. Four kooky buddies with their own special talent. Buster can bounce over bad guys with the best of them. Furrball uses his feline claws to climb walls. Dizzy Devil prefers to spin through them. And Plucky can glide through the air and swim like a fish. Choose which partner you want at the beginning of each level before you face-off against time and goofballs gone bad in 6 zany wonderlands.

And these cartoon characters are the weirdest sight you'll ever see! Roderick Rat will nibble you numb. Arnold the iron pumbing Pitbull can knock you silly with his dumbells. And Elmyra the overly affectionate one will love you toony!
To save Babs you need tobeat each boss character and swipe the five cage keys. You'll also have to find your way through haunted forests, creepy pirate ships, hidden rooms, dinky back alleys, secret chambers, and Wackyland to finally get to Monty's Mansion. But to get that far you'll need to watch out traps, moving floors switches, and doors.

So you better get jumping or it will be curtains for our playful pals!

Looks pretty good. You could replace tha back text especially the whiteish part. A bit sharpening would maybe also suffice.

Sounds good. Ill re-type out the back but im not sure what you mean by whiteish part? Ill try and sharpen it up a bit more. Any suggestions on techniques or filters I can use to get a better result?
