REally nice work shenske! That was long overdue!!!!

[shenske]

forthe screen shots, maybe you get get a sprite sheet and rebuild the screen shot?

I've done that before and found it to be extremely time consuming. It took me just as long to redo the screen shots as it did to make the whole  cover.



@Everyone
Thank you for the praise

Thr screen shots were from a new box scan. I was  trying to find better screen shots from an emulator but wasnt having a great amount of luck finding the correct shot. When I find tge correct screen shot ill replace them.

True retail spines were never really my thing but ill see what I can do.

Nothing really wrong the quality of the screens. Just a bit of dust and dirt left behind.

And yeah, I pretty much just stick with the custom spines myself (probably would have went full retail had they been around when I first started tho). I just figure its good habbit to get into since we take the time to make the cover, and it would be much easier to make a retail spine to go with it at the time rather than having someone els edit the existing to cover to make one themselves. Plus you can pretty much check that game off the list because both retail and custom covers are done. Thats pretty much why I always make vertical covers to go with my retails SNES covers even tho I dont use them.

Hey guys,  I decided to take a stab at a few covers myself.  I'm not a huge photoshop wizard (as clearly it shows), but I thought I'd try to make some covers for a few games that I needed covers for.  These are my first two covers that I've attempted:

Here they are:
Crash N The Boys: http://www.mediafire.com/?4nsw9ede5rvhvaj

Skate Or Die 2: http://www.mediafire.com/?7hw4v5d1x0jap4n

The Skate or Die 2 scans I was working with weren't the greatest, so I did the best I could.

I realize they probably don't meet the sites current standards, but I figured I'd share regardless.    Anybody can feel free to take a stab at "sprucing" them up if they feel like it.  I know the screenshots are a bit grainy...

I have a new found respect for what you guys do!  This photoshop stuff is time consuming!!

Well, if you do decide to change them, you can use these:



Note that the pictures on the back of the box use the font from the Famicom Disk System version of the game, not the NES version.  The pics I made (obviously) use the one from the NES/Famicom version.

Edit: It also uses Zora's sprite from the FDS, which is different than that of the NES/Famicom version.  Lazy bums couldn't even take genuine screenshots for their own box!

YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
I am updating it right now and will replace the old cover in a few minutes. Thank you VERY much!

If you're feeling really inclined you could always do the shots for the 2nd zelda too  


EDIT: Updated & already on the site!

No worries, just glad I could help!  I tried to get them as pixel-perfect as possible to the originals (minus the font and sprite change, of course) but with the blurry screenshots that's kinda impossible so I got as close as I could.  Besides, it gave me an excuse to play through (at least half of) the game again so it's all good!

And no problem about the Zelda 2 screenshots either.  Those look pretty simple to do.  I'll get to it after I eat.

Edit: Was actually quicker than I thought:



Not sure if the second screenshot (the one in town) is meant to be in one of the purple-skied towns or if the box background was just recoloured when scanned, but given Link's stats I'd say it's in the second screen in Rauru so that's where I went.  Also never noticed the black borders on the map screen until now, but those'll get cropped anyway.

@WolfAlmighty: you're awesome!  Thank you very much 

@BadChad  Just uploaded a retail spine version for you 
I'll try to do this wherever possible with future NES covers i recreate too.

Cover is a complete remake from the Classic series version of the Legend of Zelda. Everything is spot on EXCEPT for the the back creen shots. I got very similar shots but they are not exact. I asked WolfAlmighty to remake the correct screens. If he so chooses to make those shots for me i'll update the cover.  Well here they are to download for the time being.

Okay, here's the Zelda 1 screenshots:



Will post the Zelda 2 screenshots in a bit.

Updated with new screen shots, thanks a million WolfAlmighty

Anytime! Let me know if there are any other screenshots you need me to get/make (for any NES game).

Here's Zelda 2's:

No offense intended, but why don't you guys just capture shots from an emulator, with the Print Screen button?

Isn't that exactly what Wolf is doing?

I don't know; I thought he might be reconstructing them with game sprites or something.
