I play emulators and use screen capture/Print Screen for the screenshots. It's a pain but the Cover Project demands perfection. I didn't actually have a scan of the box. Just a scan of the Label. The rest was built from the ground up. The label was heavily altered.

Also high quality Youtube videos work.

I made a few more modifications as well...mostly subtle ones though.  Hope this is better!

I would say that it looks great. I would only point to the cover art as an area of weakness. The edges of the cover art could use some cleaning as well as the official seal. Maybe someone could provide you with a better scan.

Thanks for the input Segamer!  I modified my last post with an improved version!  The only thing I am thinking of adding are original screenies...

I give you my very first cover, and my very first attempt to recreate an original box, and my very first post to this forum.

NES Play Action Football.

I used Shenske's NES template, and the original box art submission to The Cover Project, then went through and did what I could to clean up the original boxes bends out of the front cover and clean up the logos, as well as fully recreate the back.

While not 100% to the original, I tried to keep it as close to original as possible. The "logo" on the back was traced in Illustrator and redone so that it would look more crisp, and I kept the original screenshots as they were ok and I didn't feel like replaying the game in an emulator to get a proper screenshot. Like I said, not 100%, but still pretty close.

Since I started working on this, I noticed someone else also posted one in the Shenske format, but it's not as high res as this one, so I thought I'd give it to you all.

Could not find a copy of this game, so I made as best as I can a cover for it. Consider this a "decent" enough of a placeholder while someone makes a better.

The Jeopardy cover is well done. I would only point to the back; it needs to be smaller as the screenshots are up against the edge.

I've moved things down a little on the back, and touched up the front some more. The front could use some proper defringing, and the back could probably use more work (the number 25 could use a better / closer font, for example), but my skills aren't the greatest.

I also organized the PSD a little more with Shenske's template. Maybe someone else can fix it up more.

Excellent job as always segamer!  Really appreciate it, mate!  :D

Eh, you probably don't want it unless you're in to the KOEI strategy games (Nobunaga's Ambition, Bandit Kings of Ancient China, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, etc.).  If you are, then, it's probably great!  :P
