Another Tengen game (i actually finished this cover about a week ago)

PAC-MAN

I indeed do have the Tengen version of Pac-Man, but ther one I have is a grey cart and is licensed by Nintendo. Is that a different version from this? I seem to recall Tengen made two versions of Pac-Man for the NES. Can you whip up a cover for the other version?

Took a look at all your nes voers today akumu... Nice work... Some of the fronts were a little rough(are these your personal scans oe from somewhere lese?) but nothing I wasn't able to tidy up a bit in a few minutes....

The only thing which is not ideal is the front artwork of Kung-Fu... The front cover picture looks pretty low res as if taken from a bad scan.... You see this if you look close enough....

Thanks for your efforts!!!! All usable covers(which means all but Kung-Fu) will be up on our site in the next days....

yeah but often i have to scan the label which you know is much smaller and also some are quite damaged so needs alot of cleaning up.

Ahhhh now I understand everything better.... If you often use labels for the fronts I have to say that they look really really good for such a source... I thought blowing up the pixels of such a small scan(even if scanned at high dpi) would make the front look really ugly.... How comes that your fronts look not too bad? I mean besides Kung-Fu everything looks just a bit rough or unsharp/unclean but nothing too bad... Weird....

[Akumu]

I just scan them and clean out the really really bad pixels and dirt that may appear. I don't have my kung fu cart anymore but i remember it using the Japanese artwork here instead of the sprite art that the US and UK used (like with most the sports titles and Super Mario Bros.) so i just tracked down the biggest picture i could find of it and tried out something

Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt / World Class Track Meet

(custom)

i need to figure out something for those barcode numbers

Mega Man - NES EU

Dr.Wily's face was badly scratched, so it took a fair amount of work with the clone tool to erase the scratches. I think it turned out very well.

The cover itself is just slightly better than the horrible US cover, but it still looks pretty bad compared to the Japanese Rock Man boxart.

Yeah I do, but I already uploaded that one about a year ago.

Is it just me, or does the EU cover for Mega Man look thicker than usual?

What do you mean exactly?

[shenske]

its just the case option he used in IMANDIX to preview it. 
I bet its no different than the other covers (thats just my assumption)

Yeah, that must be it. I used NexPak 4/5/6.

Out of interest, which case default do you normally use for NES cases if it's not NexPak?
