Here's my next cover...M.C. Kids

It's a bit different from the original because I don't want to leave out Grimace and Hamburglar.

I made some changes for the cover of Millipede that was submitted by Papa November.
I did some cosmetic changes like using the NES template and removed some tears.

I got 6 covers all scanned up! (My personal best)







Here are my side notes...
Gyruss - it was pretty easy.
Castlequest - I had to do some repairs because there was a sticker residue.
Orb3D - I couldn't obtain the barcode because a sticker is covering it. The text were replaced and some residue was covered, but some may see the tape discoloring the bottom of the front cover.
Anticipation - I replaced the classic quality seal with the modern one. With that, I added a statement similar to what Nintendo would do in that case.
Yoshi's Cookie (canada) - I replaced the text completely. I removed a sentence stating that you could play as Mario, Yoshi, Princess, and Bowser, since you actually can't, so no need for that on the cover.
Al Unser Jr.'s Turbo Racing - the text are completely replaced.

The covers look great.

I am on hold from buying new games/boxes while I work on the Home Theater. I temporarily shifted my obsession to that arena. Glad to see the NES still getting some love here.

I found "Anticipation" will be difficult to cut out because the background is pure white. Your best bet is either to include a border around the image or add crop lines (+ at each corners) before printing.

I got 2 more covers scanned. This will be 10 in a row for submitting the covers!



And the side notes...
Lode Runner - even if the box is in near-mint condition, I replaced the text anyways because my scanner has a tendency for putting white borders around the black letters. Could that be from descreening?
Snake Rattle n Roll (Canada) - This was quickly done.

Those are my last covers as of now. :( When I get some more, I'll definitely be more than happy to scan them up!

There is a subforum named Feedback and there is a thread in it called "Point out mistakes to be fixed" there you can tell such things.....

Regarding your problem.... The cover doesn't work because the admin who uploaded it put a "&" in the filename which is prohibited because or databse can't handle special characters.... As for now only snowcone can fix that right.... I could change the filenamke so that it is downloadable but then the thumbnail will disappear....

Here are some of my scans i cant get the ink off of it maybe someoneon this board can work their magic with photoshop??
To answer your question, "possibly." The back side would be done completely, but the front would be almost impossible unless someone else has the copy of the cover.
