Dang guys this thread has been pumping lately, it's too flippin' awesome!

Really glad to see we've finally got a cover for Space Shuttle (with the correct image), thanks CMDLineKing, but I have to ask why does the "Official Nintendo Seal" label have a stroke effect? Just looks kinda odd, the original for comparison "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5c/Space_Shuttle_Project_Cover.jpg", not trying' to be pushy or a pest, but I'm guessing you're going for an accurate retail look with all the work you've put in, other than that though it really is fantastic.

:)  Fixed this...  I didn't update the thumbnails for them all, but there were several improvements..  A couple typos I noticed and corrected, and removed the stroke from the nintendo seals.

Enjoy! Here is one thumb to show the changes.. you can download them from the same place..  http://1drv.ms/1gB1AOX

FERRARI GRAND PRIX CHALLENGE

I needed a break from the complicated Videomation cover, so I put this one together. It was pretty straightforward, as the copy I got off eBay had an extra-nice box. Everything is accurate but the screenshots. The flags are the only part of the logo that wasn't re-done. Outside of those and the car/track on the front and back, everything has been re-done.

I found that this game has really excellent music and is actually fun to play. My plan was initially to resell the games I buy for cover work, but I think I'll keep this one.

Thanks

You want the warranty info?  Easy enough to add yourself to the retail spines I already created. Check the folder on the OneDrive.

Thanks to Dreamcast99 for the scans on this one. I had it partially done for some time and moved on to another project, but a request reminded me to do the little bit I needed to finish it up.

Another Jaleco title with a weird, upside-down spine. I've made a third cover on this one for the retail one, flipping it so it's in line with everything else.

The left side of the front is a bit blurry from the scan, but it's all I have to work with. It doesn't look bad unless you're trying to notice it, I think. Screens are not retail accurate.

A very fun title, I might add.

Not sure if I see what you mean about the spine being backwards?  Almost all the games have their spines reversed on the opposite spine..  So on one side of the box it's oriented N/S and the other side it's S/N. Depends on which way someone folds the spine when they scan which one shows on the front, but the spine to the LEFT of the front should be the correct spine..  Scans show it that way....

Eitherway, great job!! Look awesome..

I think he meant that the spine is hard to read when the logo is that way.

To my knowledge all other sivilized coutries apart from Spain have the spine orientated such way that you til your head right when you read, but spaniards want to lean towards the left.

Maybe it's a history thing with bad memories with extreme rights.

Most/all Jaleco boxes are facing the wrong direction on the left spine. That's why I did it the way I did.

I know.

I'll check the cover soon for quality.

That was more aimed at CMD, I think we've had that conversation before with Goal Two and Cyberball. ;)

RACE AMERICA

I was excited to see scans of this one appear. I searched a lot and had nothing, and wasn't about to buy a copy on eBay for $75 to scan. (I'm impatient and don't like bidding)

This game is actually really fun. Oddly enough, it's known as Corvette ZR1 Challenge overseas and was published by Milton Bradley. Probably going to seek out a cart-only copy now.

The main logo was completely re-drawn. The back and spine were completely reconstructed. Much of the front was left intact - not a lot of scans I get to do that with.

Also, Alex DeMeo's name appears 4 times on this cover.

EDIT: (Had to make a quick adjustment to a logo and re-up the covers)
