This came in today, one of my childhood favorites. Been meaning to pick this one up for a while but could never find one with a box that didnt have stickers on it. Finally found one that didnt have any stickers (sorta) but still had some brownish sticker residue from a past sticker but not damage to the box. That was fun to clean up.....

Zen - Intergalactic Ninja:

Hey Shenske, These covers look much better then the ones that are available, are you planning on uploading them?

[shenske]

They are all ready to upload but i can't seem to find a proper font to match the retail covers.  If anyone has any idea of what to use i can upload them

[jprogram]

All covers for the NES "starry" boxes mainly uses "Helvetica."
For example, the main title would be Helvetica Black.

If you don't want to pony up ~$30 per type(!), try abusing the font preview generator by copying the preview and use photoshop to sharpen them up!

I think Arial Black should work too.

[shenske]

Cool, helvetica worked great!  I replaced the old covers on the site with my vector versions. 
You can find them here http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=2983

@Arseen: wao i didnt know this game was so expensive for an NES game, but guess it's not too expensive since i'm used to collect Neo Geo AES cartridges.

I was scanning a bunch of nes boxes today and ran across this game. I don't know if it's too late, but you're welcome to these.

[BadChad]

Calling dibs on this cover! I knew I was right about this having a silver spine!

Thanks for the scans akrate!

Metal Storm:

Finally this cover for Metal Storm looks as it should be site-worthy.

[satoshi_matrix]

Such a classic. I remember spending hours and hours playing this game and drooling over the incredibly cool model kit that my parents wouldn't buy for me because it was something like $90 and I would have broken it right away. They were still probably right, but damn was Metal Storm a favorite. That and Vice Project Doom.

[BadChad]

Do I sense a future review?   Metal Storm is definetly a classic, I remember playing this alot myself when I had it when I was younger. The ability to effortlessly flip to the ceiling was a unique feature never seen anywhere els. Still need to pick this one up sometime. At least now when I do pick it up, we have a cover to go with it!

Id love to get my hands on Vice scans too. I pretty much already have most of the box recreated from scratch. Just need some HQ art for the front. I might be able to whip up a custom cover with some art from one of my nintendo power mag's I have that covered Vice.
