Hey all -- looking to get these two covers done up in the vertical style. Both already exist horizontal, but I'd like to get these two finished to match my collection. Thanks!

Mortal Kombat 4
Star Fox 64 - Thanks to ShoothimNow and Shenske!

I have a StarFox64 cover started already (actually stated it many months ago) but i'm trying to find some art of the front cover so i can get rid of the "rumble pak included" on the bottom of the art.  :(

That sucks -- I always loved Star Fox, I'm kind of surprised to hear there's not more artwork out there for it. Hopefully someone can come up with something, and my N64 games can all take their rightful place on my shelf :)

You could always just remove "Included" and maybe add something like "Support". A good alternative.

I'm still going to make the cover, it just realy frustrates me when an "included device" is on the packaging art. I was lucky to find some art for Donkey Kong 64 where I could get rid of the expansion pack icon. I'm just not having the same luck with StarFox64

I dont think thats gonna be big enough. But at least now we know we just need to track down someone who owns a boxed copy of the players choice version. Id love a retail horizontal without the rumble pack.

I was only able to find one copy on ebay thats in players choice:

Maybe we should bug him for a scan ;)

When in trouble, improvise!

 :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Ok so this took me literally 3 hours to do... and the PSD file is over 400 MB, but this is a WIP of the front NTSC Star Fox 64 without the rumble pak...  Original file is 7013X4813  8)  It is big... because that is how I scanned it =P

Original Scan


New Horizontal Cover (3 hours into it)


I AM STILL WORKING ON THIS FOR A MINICASE, but a minicase is identical to the horizontal box, so... I hate to do a horizontal/vertical box if shenske is  :-\

====
  edit
====
I fixed the lazer shooting aircraft so that there is the 4th wing under the cockpit / neck area instead of having it all black, my scan didnt have enough detail there

=======
question
=======
Should the "Designed For N64 Rumble Pak" icon be present on the red side... since I took it off the box and it 'is' on the players choice box, im thinking it should be present there.. What do you guys think?

if Shenske has a back to this, then all I have to do is finish up a few 'conversion' edits, but here is what I would have if I were to make this into a vertical atm.

my only issue is the lower-left arwing. It looks very weird compared to the player's choice version above.

Very nice job on removing the rumble pak junk and replacing some of the artwork. I have not started working on the back text for StarFox64 yet. Its up to you if you want to finish the vertical cover yourself or have me finish it  :)
