Cheers! Glad you like 'em! :)

I was happy to get boxes for some of the medium-rare games (nobody likes their games overcooked, mirite? ;D ) like Princess Tomato, Captain America, and Ms. Pac Man at decent (compared to what they will probably be this time next year if trends continue) prices. I'll see if I can get another couple of covers up this weekend for everyone.

Well, your efforts are always appreciated Wolf.   I'll continue to attempt to find some more rare scans - still love to find some for Pro Sport Hockey & Bomberman II.

... and now that I think about it (since you just reminded me when posting that Namco version), I believe I'm looking for a cover for the Ms. PacMan (Tengen version) as well.

I have the Eliminator Boat Duel box in OK conditions but my USB ports are dead and I can't get my damn scanner to work. But you can mark down from the "available" list Wolf  ;D

You and me both, mate.  Those are going to be among the 20 or so I'll have left to cover after I'm done with my current lot, and that's where the going's gonna get tough. :)

Will do! Cheers!  For some reason I had that game already marked off on my list as done but it's not on the site and I don't see anything in my files or on the forums so I guess it was just wishful thinking on my part. ;D

Anyway, only got one cover done today:

Uninvited - The MacVenture Trilogy is now complete (still don't know why Lumberjack didn't upload his Shadowgate cover, though).

Maybe is too late to mention it but the usually used font on bar codes is OCRB (you can find it here).

Yeah, I could never locate the exact font used when I stared making covers.  I ended up just settling for a nice sans-serif font in Arial, and since then it's kinda been my trademark or signature of sorts. ;)

But thank you for the link all the same.

Oh he did, just not on the site officially ;)
Preview is flawed but actual cover should be OK (can's check, work computer bad)

Shadowgate

Yeah, I'm surprised he didn't put it up, since AFAIK he has the ability to upload?  Anyway, I didn't even know he made that until you posted it a few months back which is why I was glad to secure an Uninvited box so I can case up all three of my MacVenture titles.  Although alphabetically they're a bit scattered throughout the collection. ;D

Now I just need to see if I can piece together a decent USA Lolo 3 cover using Tik's PAL version as a starting point so I can have cases for all of that series.  I know someone posted a cover for it a while back but it's pretty low-res.  Ah well, way too much on my plate to worry about it now.  Still have another ten or so covers to make from scans before I'll even have time to worry about Lolo 3.

I have posted English version:

http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=2737.msg28392#msg28392

It's on this page of my mega postathalon. ;D

It was done in Windows XP MS Paint, so the cover got fucked when I saved.


EDIT NEVER MIND THE LINK IS DEAD.
I can re-upload it when I get home

Actually, I don't have the ability to upload. I can never get Snowcone to get me FTP credentials.

Upload like any member, then bug one of the members that have the credentials to post the cover.

I was promised the credentials but I never requested them in the end so I can't help.

WolfAlmighty, do you think you could work your awesome Uninvited cover into a NES cart label? The copy of Uninvited I have has a nasty gash in the label and I'd like to replace it with a reproduction label if possible. Thanks.
