I have scanned that cover twice and on both times the front is, how would I describe it, covered in black grid.
The gridding is visible clearly in this full size cover, and it gets worse when printed:

So please rescan it BadChad and redo the cover Akumu.

Please and thank yopu

One that I would love to print out if it were touched-up would be the Dragon Warrior retail cover.  It's clear that the box it was scanned from had tears and creases in it so maybe a better scan would be needed before it would even be workable.  It's also funny how DW3 has never had a cover uploaded for it - guess nobody has scans of that one?

Oops guess I should of checked the link. I was thinking the NTSC cover lol. I always found the art came out pretty grainy in the scans I took.

Can someone post a list of NES covers ON THE SITE that need to be redone to get them up to current standards?

I too would like to have a list like that for any console.

Arseen was going to make a list when he was off for 8 days.

Actually my list will be more on the side of covers not on the site.
I mean the covers that have been done but are stored on private accounts like Box.net or Mediafire.

SNES list is coming along nicely and should be least mostly done in few days, if I get bored I might even finish it tomorrow.

No requests of covers not currently on the site, I'm more interested in fixing the NES covers that need it first before moving onto all new ones.

Si, si.
My list lists the off site covers that are read, iit will also list covers are still needed.
But requesting goes on somewhere else, like my other topics.  ;D

Are you only concentrating on NES covers or others as well?

Zelda 1 and 2 need fixing. And I have been fixing a couple SNES games up, mostly the spine. A couple covers HERE are fixed up, like Duck hunt, Pro Wrestling, Megaman 2 and Mario 2 among others, but they have my custom red spine. You can easily slap the black one over.
