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)

Nice Job OOBGARM!! That was some quick RAW conversion ;) You're the man! Scanning Starship Hector now!  I'm scanning the manual as well, might be better / easier to chop than the box.  I may attempt, but I don't know about those lines... tough to do, for me anyway.. lol.

I just scanned mine. I see you shared your scans, I can cherry pick parts of each.

I should have World Games and a redone Shadowgate posted tomorrow

WORLD GAMES

A friend had this when I was young. It has a bizarre charm to it, I think. It's worth noting that the original screenshots on the back are NOT from the NES version. (there's even a disclaimer about them)

Main logo was redone by hand, flags are hi-res grabs from the Internet. The main front image is a cleaned up scan of my own - not parts and pieces like abandoned attempts in the past. Back and spine are totally re-done. Screens are not retail accurate. The EPYX logo is not 100% accurate - I used one that was slightly different, but I think it looks better.

ok so, i modify two covers made recently by CMDLineKing

I add the Warranty sign and the nintendo logo to the spine (thanks to Oobgarm for facilitate me both parts). i reduced the Space Shuttle logo and move a little bit up the Absolute Entertainment logo, That way the spine will be the same way Oobgram is making them, when printed the spine will aligned with all the others obsolute entertainment covers. i think this is the way it should be, all logos in the spine in the same spot for every cover of the same company.

Space Shuttle Retail Spine (no Offer)

SHADOWGATE

Shadowgate is one of my top 5 NES titles. I remember being so frustrated with this game as a kid that I sent Kemco a letter, and got one in return explaining how to get past where I was stuck.

This is a 95% redrawn and recreated cover that should supplant what's currently in the TCP database. The only thing not redrawn by hand on this cover is the gargoyle on the front.

Arseen asked if I'd make a cover that didn't have a break in the background image, which I did. They're posted below with the arguably less pretty(but accurate) retail covers.

The screenshots are close. They're in the same rooms/scenes as the retail box, but inventory items don't agree.

Excelent work but 2 typos: deliivers and carefullly.

And I also think that the sentence that starts "Along the way" doesn't need the comma.

Oof. Typos fixed and covers re-uploaded.

The comma that's in that sentence is on the original box - I don't think it's a typo though. I leave things like that in there for posterity's sake even if they are grammatically incorrect. (re: Solitaire)
