Deathtrap Dungeon.

Not a particularly enjoyable game, but I needed a cover for it.

Back was difficult to do because of the shape of the original box [an isosceles trapezium], in particular the bottom left corner of the bottom screenshot got cut off. I should probably have tried to find a replacement screenshot, but I didn't really want to waste too much time on this game.

Once upon a time I created a variation of the Games for Windows Template... I'll try and upload it, I don't think I ever did

Found them, hope somebody finds use for these. Do what you will with them, rip them apart redesign them, build your own template out of it, whatever. Everything in these is 100% re-rendered in Photoshop meaning no shitty quality here! The Dos one was not finished entirely and I have long since formatted my PC and misplaced the source material for some of it. Should I come across it I may redo the back to be a little more reflective of the dos style.

Discworld

Slightly custom cover, as the back of my box is ripped, so I'm missing the first couple of paragraphs of text. I've replaced them with a couple of not-entirely-related Discworld images, which is the best I can do until I can get a scan or readable picture of the back of the box. Not perfect, but better than having a coverless DVD case on the shelf.

One of my all time favorite games, this one has been redone from the ground up excluding the front cover's serpent. I stayed as close to the original as possible.

Diablo, Hellfire and Diablo II, in the style of the Best Seller Series re-releases. Hellfire was never released as such, but I wanted matching covers.







And a variation, with the BSS markings removed.







A Diablo II: Lord of Destruction cover will follow when my computer stops BSODing every 5 minutes.

You can get them here - http://www.box.net/shared/clg1jpvlqk

Just two that I did for myself.

The Complete Ultima VII


Did this one from scratch, seeing as how it is nearly impossible to find a hi-res scan of the original box. Have had just the disc by itself in a jewel case for years, so this needed to be done. That, and I just <3 it.

PC Gamer Classic Games Collection #1


Another that I had to do from scratch. Got this disc almost 10 years ago, and the cardboard sleeve that it came in is pretty beat up. Had to make the PC Gamer logo, myself, since I couldn't find any hi-res images of their old logo. I tried to make it as close to the original sleeve as possible.

Did a few others, but they're not as 'original'.

Was wondering if that PC template was available for download? I'm loving the clean lines on it! Or, maybe a link?

I'm working on a "modern re-imagining" of some of the older AD&D games. Primarily the gold and silver box series games, along with other games of that era. Currently working on the two classic Dark Sun games. Ravenloft will be up next and I've even got a cover for the Dungeon Masters Assistant and one for Unlimited Adventures in the works.

These might not be for everyone as they eliminate the color coded outline (except for the back) instead using the entire area for that high quality artwork of Clyde Caldwell. There is still some work to do so these aren't ready for release yet, but here's some previews:






A few are lacking perfectly crisp artwork such as 'Hillsfar' plus most of these were DOS/came on 3.5" floppy so eh, these might go straight to box.net, I don't know. The whole idea was that they could sit right next to a 2010 game and look good. What do you think?
