ok, so i went back and fixed some of them, and finished two more.

for r.c. pro-am, i made it more original with the gradient as it was on the box, and i ran the carts through vector magic with high detail settings and they came out pretty good, and no longer pixelated. i also ran the players on hoops through vector magic to smooth out the pixels. goal was fairly easy, because the front image was easily fixed. bump n jump was by far the most difficult cover i have done to date. i had to scan the label of the cart because the original scan i found online was just too far gone to work with, and then redraw the entire front image, one color at a time. it took forever.

ok, here's a redone version of sky shark

so i ran the front through vector magic, and then redid the typing on the front. i also redid the font on the back, because it just wasn't clear enough. i ran the logo on the back and spine through vector magic, making them a lot better.

Looks much nicer - but you've typed NOBODAY instead of NOBODY.

Nice stuff akumu... :)

Your covers got top notch by now. Compared to your first ones they are much cleaner and crisper!

Take all your time you need cause the more time invested the better the outcome... ;)
2 + 3 = 23

Thanks, appreciated.

My main priority is to find some kind of scan of the Final Fantasy box right now, so we can replace the one already here.

Akumu, I love your stuff! that PAL Metroid is fantastic, im glad somebody is looking at the PAL stuff. Any NES CIB collector will have noticed how the PAL box versions look better than the NTSC versions.. (Kid Icarus, Metroid, Almost every black box game). Any chance you can leave "Europeon Version" off of the bottom of the boxes though?

oh and if I could suggest another box if your going to keep the PAL NES Black Boxes going, how bout an Ice Climber box? There is not even a regular Ice Climber scan on here, and the Euro version is a lot better, would be sweet to see what you do with that...

awesome man! I hope that Ice Climbers gets posted soon!!! and I love the art on the PAL boxes, the labels would be a plus as well, I think they look great. and yeah I mean if you could I would love to see the same exact boxes that you have only the "Europeon Version" taking off the bottom, but I mean hey your making them, they look good either way...
