Great job! I think the font used for the taglines on the back make them unnecessarily hard to read, but other than that I have no crits. Nice layout and great use of some gorgeous official art.

Gradius (U.S)



Was hoping someone would come up with a scan for this but could'nt wait so i decided to have a crack at a scratch rebuild. Mostly the same as the original (some font issues). I think the Konami NES covers had a nice look to them.

Spectacular cover, Grumbleduke.  I'm surprised no one's made one until now, but I guess it makes sense if there was no box art for it.

T.Y. :) There was a real lack of good scans for this. Its made up of an advertisment for the arcade version (Nemesis) , a wallpaper that only went to the top of the green ship and just below the bottom of the fighter and a Moby scan (very low res) that i retraced. Cobbled the three together to get the front. I could not match the exact font for the blue writing on the back though. Trouble is its very time consuming doing any kind of rebuild.Glad you liked it anyhow.

As more NES types are likely to read this than the request list, i have started to rebuild Parasol Stars from scratch but before i get right into it. i wanna make sure no-one has, or can get a good scan of it. Im asuming not as its been requested before but thought i would check, might save me hours of work and a 'real deal' scan would be better than i could remake. :)

Is it localized or is it an E.U version? ( i see your in N.Z)  The only semi readable rear scan i can find is in English and French (and thats so poor the legals are just pixel blobs). Thanks for the response B.T.W  :)

Parasol Stars (PAL/E.U)



Not quite finished, needs some adjusting on the Parasol Stars rear logo and some of the legals are unreadable so i need to try and check up on them. This is a dual language version in both English and French. Eagle eyed owners of the cart will maybe notice that the front is a little different to the original (the Rainbow Islands 2 bit) and thats because its largely taken from an Amiga box (the best i could find and that was'nt great). I may add an all English one if noclass's box turns out to be that type and i can get the info from it. Most excellent game B.T.W  :) (PC Engine is better though)
