Title: a pair of NES cart labels
Post by: AshenLight on October 16, 2011, 02:38:44 PM

On a recent attempt to open and thoroughly clean all my old cartridges, I managed to snap a couple of the little security screws in half, making a couple of my plastic cases fairly useless. I got replacement boxes but have not been able to replace the labels. Specifically, I am looking for Strider and Cobra Triangle. Retail or custom label doesn't matter to me as long as it looks good and is full resolution for printing.

Thanks! Love this website, you guys do great work.

Hope your stay here is.. let's say more permanent.. from here on. You know what I mean. ;)

No rush. I'll be happy to get them whenever.

And yeah, I hope so too  8)

Tried doing from covers, FAIL, quiality sucks.

Will scan actual labels now, and try again.

My computer not co-operating with me now.

But here are scans of the labels, if someone else wants to take stab at making them:

In the folder you'll find 300 DPI and 600DPI de-rasterized scans of the labels you wanted.

If no-one else does them I can try later again.

Thanks. I'd be happy to put the time in, but I lack image editing software, nor do I have any real skillz  :-[

Likewise, that's one reason I'm just Forum Admin, not Cover Guru.

But Paint.net is easy to use free image editing software.

So I saved those scans and have them on my hard drive, but it seems I'm still not very good at this. Little help?  :)

That should do beautifully, thank you!

I've had basically no time the past few months to devote to having a life (defending my doctorate in less than two weeks), but I wanted to tip my cap to you guys for your help. Thanks again! Wish I could've said so sooner but I should be more responsive in the future :)
