Thanks a ton Kaiser.
Hey Lumberjack, since eightcell seems to have fallen off the face of the planet, would you be interested in continuing his work on the Megaman covers? I don't have the skill nor the resources to do so myself, but I would like it very much if you could carry the torch onward. Check this thread way back in page 3-4 for info, but the basic idea was to completely redo the boxarts for the six Megaman games using the vastly superior art from the Japanese Playstation Exlcusive Rockman Complete Works covers over the Original NES boxes in which Megaman takea completely different look each successive game and only vaugly resembles the same character in the end. In additon, the project is to clean up the box discriptions of each game to better reflect the plot of each game and bring forth the best boxart for a Megaman game possible. Eightcell had agreed to incoperate my discriptions, so I went to work long and hard creating actually good game discriptions and give me small amount of credit for each re-write. I hope you'll agree to use them as well. Just for convience, I'll repost all six.
