NES case art

Akumu : I just want to point out for the icon for Tetris. If you close to the bottom center, you'll noticed a blue triangle used to accommodate "From Russia With Fun!" Maybe patch it up? That is only my picky suggestion

Otherwise, here's my custom made cover for "World Class Track Meet."

I used it in a form of a traditional Nintendo's NES game. (e.g. Baseball, Duck Hunt, etc.) I also made a boxed version too, just have to search for my post "World Class Track Meet."

I wanted to note that as of June 15, 2008, I have made some adjustments to my NES box template. Now it's more accurate, even and easier to design. So, I wanted to point out that the boxed version of "Urban Champion" that I noted earlier has been updated...

When the time is right, I'll post my template to the public with instructions for constructing it.

Awesome work LJ. That pretty much closes out all my NES uploads except for Strider which is unusuable, and Fist of the North Star which may be the same.

I do not think it was long ago that I started by NES collection, yet out of 140 planned games, only 27 are left uncovered, and that is primarily due to Lumberjacks work. I envy your talent.

Stunning work. I've been awaiting Faxanadu Lifeforce and Golgo 13 ever since eightcell started this thread. Eternally grateful lumberjack42.

Strider "unusable"? I beg to differ.

Strider


Certainly not perfect, parts of it look kinda hokey on close inspection, but it should suffice in lack of better alternatives.

Here's my next cover, and it's for "Dig Dug 2"
http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/johnsprogram.retail.nes_digdug2.jpg

It took be about a day's work and a bit challenging too. I had to draw the leaves in the background, but sort of took me shorter time since there is a pattern. Not precise, but it will do.

The fonts are different since I didn't want to afford some, but hopefully anyone isn't nit-picky. I believed the font used it's Futrua, the same used for Nintendo's manuals and covers.

Hopefully my hard work has paid off!

And here's Fist of the Norths Star...

Fist of the North Star


Amazingly lazy, boring, and just generally poor package design... Apart from the awkward layout, huge amounts of empty black space, ugly red border, the main illustration used isn't even from the show the game is based on! The game is based on the second series while the picture is from the first, prominently featuring a character who's not even in the game...  Then again, I guess it's remarkable enough that they kept the original Japanese characters and names (although Raoh is "Laou", for whatever reason), unlike "Black Belt" and "Last Battle" on the Sega systems...

[antony30bc]

This game made me cry. At the time I bought it I was reading the first run of the translated VIZ comic's.

I will have to play it again but the controls were so awful, and the graphics so bad that despite the name changes etc, I still prefer Last Battle.

Here's my next, quick cover, and it's "Clu Clu Land" from Canada.

(note to admins, I accidentally uploaded the same image as 3DO.)


Using the same format as I created "Urban Champion" (Canada), I added the copyright and distribution information, as it would normally be at the side and top of the box, at the bottom of the back cover.
