In a year where the next gen consoles - Sony PS3, Microsoft Xbox 360 and Nintendo Revolution - will be providing us with jaw dropping graphics, it appears that retro gaming is taking another leap forward in the market. It's no wonder that gamers download emulators in an attempt to bring back those childhood memories, or to just to play some great games. Mum would supply us with sandwiches and drinks throughout the day while we would write down our scores and see who finished top by the end of the marathon. All day competitions with my brother on a mixture of games such as Super Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Country and even Tetris were intense but great fun.
I'm extremely happy with 98% of these covers, but there are definitely some blurry/crappy ones in amongst the good ones.Sometimes it feels great to go back to your gaming roots.We all have our favourite consoles and games as we grew up, the Nintendo classics bring all sorts of memories flooding back. Sometimes the only scan I could find was from 20+ years ago and a 300x200 grainy and artifact filled jpeg, making it difficult to get a clean cover. I've tried to keep everything as authentic as possible, using the correct manufacturer/publisher logos, placements, and also find the highest resolution images that I possibly could for each and every game. and after finishing off all of the PAL covers, the NTSC collection was soon in my sights. Originally started as a project to replace the American covers of the SNES Mini, it became extremely addictive. This meant hours of restorative painting work, filling in gaps where ugly black boxes covered beautiful artwork on the USA covers, sourcing original artwork that may have been used on a certain cover, or just plain frankenstein-patchworking many many many different sources together until they looked perfect. What makes this collection different to others that are out there is that I've both kept every one consistent to the same PAL template dimensions, but have also created PAL style covers for ALL of the American NTSC titles also. This project has taken over a year to complete, painstakingly restoring, remastering and recreating all of the boxart/covers of the SNES games I loved as a kid.
The ultimate collection of remastered PAL Super Nintendo covers.
