All that means is it's the American home release version.

I'm extremely happy with the results though; they look absolutely fantastic

Every image, and I mean every one, has been slightly adjusted / tweaked / optimised.

Some required major rework to get rid of creases / marks / discolouration etc...

Anyway, hope you guys appreciate the effort.

So, just download / extract this archive into "C:\WinUAE".

Go get them!!!
Today I scrolled through the complete "Boxart" set.

You know me; always improving things with my collection

So I've done the following:
  • Added "Alfred Chicken".
  • Added "Black Dawn Rebirth".
  • Added "King's Quest 1 - Quest for the Crown (Enhanced)".
  • Slightly tweaked over 100 images.

Please just download / extract this archive into "C:\WinUAE".

Yes, they will be in the next Update Pack whenever that it.

Is this not the Aaargh (Arcadia) version rather than the normal Aaargh version?
You know I was thinking about this.

Maybe I should add any Arcadia game "Boxart" to the [Arcadia] versions also; as you won't find covers...

Still need to make up my mind though.

I was just thinking that the one you have at the moment is a bit colourless and looks a bit washed out when compared to the colourful version on mobygames?

I haven't updated your collection in a long time and it's become far too big for my internet speed ! I have checked out your boxart though. Very nice work.

As Arcadia are Arcade machine versions, maybe you could use the flyer ?
https://flyers.arcade-museum.com/?pa...d=2442&image=1

Also, Launchbox has a search site that seems to have a lot of boxart that other sites don't have, for instance -
https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/62927
https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/8992

Also 2, your 'Dark Side' boxart is the American version. The Worldwide version is different.

Hey DamienD, sorry for the late response from my side but I just wanted to thank you for this MOST AWESOME work of yours.

Your set just kicks ass

And now the boxarts!?! That's just what was missing! So happy btw that the files seem to be under 1024 pixels, as I'm still playing on OGXbox and that's the limit there.

This set is a really the greatest. Thank you again for sharing it. As I have done sets for several other systems I know how much work this is. I don't even want to know how many hours went into this project (and I guess nyou don't wanna know, too ).

THANK YOU!

The one on Moby Games is bad quality and to be honest; totally oversaturated colour wise.

Here's a comparison:

vs.

I mean, I can try and add more colour to the one I'm using.

For example:

Ok, I've made those last 2 changes i.e:
  • Abandonded Places 2: cleanup.
  • Sword of Sodan: more colour.
Updated URL in the post above.

Bah, I just noticed that I'd put some images in the wrong <gamedir>

Have now moved the following to their correct location:
  • Cadaver - The Last Supper --> Cadaver - The Pay Off
  • Chase [NES conversion] --> Chase
Also added the following:
  • 3D World Soccer
  • Alien Breed - Tower Assault [AGA]
  • APB - All Points Bulletin
  • Burntime [AGA]
  • Pinball Brain Damage [AGA]
That really should be it now

So please just download / extract this archive into "C:\WinUAE".

Oops, silly me... I accidentally included all APC&TCP & Purchases boxart in the pack

If you downloaded / extracted previously and don't have any of these games then you'll now need to delete the corresponding <gamedirs>.

New updated pack here.

Sorry about that.

I know I said I wouldn't, but I've just completed the 3rd and final round of image processing

Mainly small tweaks; which enhance the images further...

I've also fixed a few that somehow escaped my attention previously e.g:
