Yeah I need to find my old copy of Lemmings so I can put it in a nice dvd case I threw this cover together pretty quickly.

Didn't lemmings come on a 3 1/2" floppy? I'll have to hunt down my copy now... Its in its box around here somewhere...

[MisterCreazil]

I'm sure it did originally but my copy is on cd, and the jewel case it came in looks like that box so that was a good find for me.

I have lemmings on CD... speaking of which, anyone ever come across the art for lemmings 3d and lemmings paintball?

I have some high res art for lemmings 2 I should upload sometime.

I only liked the original Lemmings so I never bought any of the other ones.

Found this site of this guy who made a few game covers for some PC games, just thought it was interesting. I should find his e-mail and see if he wants to upload his stuff here.

I'd be surprised if any other person owned this game.

Ascendancy was one of my favourites when I was young.... A very good strategy game indeed....

By the way.... I'm in the process of quality checking all PC Covers which were uploaded so that the PC section gets a little bit of love... I hope it won't be a disappointment....

the path of neo one isn't that good, I couldn't find any good raws for it though, so I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't make it on the site.

[MisterCreazil]

Wow! So many covers got uploaded to the site today! Thanks a lot.  Was there a problem with my lichking cover though? it's the only one I did that didn't get uploaded. Not trying to be a problem, I just want to know what to fix before I upload again.

*edit* Oh and Simcity 4

Ok a quick runthrough of all the covers I checked:

@ Mister Creazil: I have to say that your covers are getting better and better... You show more love to details especially on your latest covers making them look really good(only some little very little things I had to clean = nitpicky me ).... Lichking the size was the problem... I don't know what happened but both covers are 3216 x 2158? for normal DVD covers they should be 3225 x 2156.... Sim City 4 has the same problem we talked about the last time as far as I remember... The front and spine don't blend well into each other... They have different "blue's".... I tried to fix it but it's pretty difficult(= time consuming)....

@ sheep: Most of your covers were nice.... I just have a little problem with all the slim covers...

We got so many different sizes for slim covers so I dunno which are correct or which cases those would be.... Afaik our slim case "standard" size is 3150 x 2175.... Now I have uploads here with 3236 x 2173 and others with 3139 x 2156.... So what are all those "new" case sizes?

Couldn't we agree to one slim case (size) we use??? Would make an admins life much easier....

[MisterCreazil]

Hmm, the simcity cover is just as I scanned it.  It printed out just fine anyways. Fixed the size issue on the Lich King covers though

Also as I understand it the slim dvd cases come in different sizes, some are slimmer than others so it might be a little hard to come up with just a plain "standard slim case" dimensions.

Sim City is a problem child.... *sigh* You know stuff often prints out better than it looks on screen but the purpose of our site is to get the best possible quality... I'll look at the lichking again....

Slim covers are a little of a problem for me because if there are so many different case sizes for slim covers I'll never know if it's another slim cover size or just a mistake made in the pixel dimensions...

I haven't really said anything about the templates earlier but I personally just like sticking with pccd/pcdvd one unless the game is an actual game for windows game.  Simply because Games for Windows is a brand name and not all pc games are an actual "Game for Windows" game.

Yeah, I understand this, but I just like the template of it. That's why I use it. Plus, I like my stuff to look unified.

Plus, I though we were going to use modified versions of the "Games for Windows" line from other types of games, like "Games for MS-DOS" and others.
