Here is a cover for NTSC/US version of Defender of the Crown.

The box wasn't in the best shape and as I am not a photoshop guru this was the best I could do.

If anyone wants me to upload Raws so they could give a go at a better job, please let me know.

Also here are some raws.

I might give a go at making a cover for Conquest of the Crystal Palace but the cover tear on Willow is beyond my ability.

I haven't seen Willow in a long time but that cover art doesn't look much like Val Kilmer.

Wow how the heck did you do that so quick.

It takes me a few hours to do one half as good.

I am thinking of picking up some Photoshop CS2 books to learn some of the more advanced stuff, anything you recommend?

Not that I can think of. I'm still using Photoshop 7. I just sort of picked it up on my own.

I uploaded a case for karate kid, the box was in very good shape, ironic that the games owned by rental stores have the nicest boxes but worst games.

Hello guys Im new here and this is my first post, i like whats going on here to help preserve the classic games. Good job to all the work being done here!

There are 100 covers down and 600 or so to go, cant wait to see this prioject complete

With all that said I found Hollywood squares today CIB for $3 its in the uploads section already its pretty bad but using the clone tool in photoshop might be the answer. I tried to remove the marker as best i could without damage to the box, cant wait to see a cover!

Im not one to purchase NES boxes but when i see them for a cool price from now on im sure to pick them up for uploading. :)

I wasnt one to buy NES games with the boxes, my reasoning was the cardboard boxes were too often thrown away.

SMS and Genesis games I would not buy without the box because it was plastic and well suited to keeping the games secure.

I purchased a bunch of cart + manual only at the flea market only to find that for most cases I could have gotten complete CIB on ebay for $3-5 more.

The remaining games on my list to buy (which do not already have a case here) I will purchase CIB and have listed them in the Nintendo Inventory thread.

I too am not that skilled with Photoshop either, but lumberjack42 (I suspect it is actually 42 lumberjacks) has done miracles with torn boxes, markets etc in a quick period of time. The guy is good.

Wow you really cleaned up that Hollywood Squares box.

I'm torn on doing complete boxes or uploading just raws since my covers will never look as good.

After these latest covers are added to the site, we will have 122 out of 672 Licensed US NES covers. 46 Covers away from having 25% completion, thats a good milestone. Hopefully I get a few more of the ones I ordered off of ebay today.
