I'm currently working off a cabinet friendly list of originals.  I will work on those first then move to larger sets.  I will do as many as I can to fill in some of the holes so we don't end up have 1000's of "No Box Image" pics.  I have included 2 versions of a generic "No Box Art" placeholder in this release along with ~170 box fronts covering # to E.  Subsequent releases will include more covers as I finish them.  

I have managed to located a few box covers as I have been going through the list.  If I did any work on the images either cropping or other adjustments, I will include them in the release as well.  Also, now I have included primary controller information in the form of a joystick or keyboard icon I created as well as number of player details.  Also, you will notice a code for gamebase64 to help you with determining which game the cover represents in greater detail than the file names I provided.

I am not a professional graphic artist, I have been learning a few tricks as I have been going along to streamline the process.  I welcome positive feedback and constructive criticism.  After version one is released I do plan on moving onto Themed Clear Logos and Tape/Floppy Disk Images (As shown in my post in Games Media forum) and to take any requests to fill a fan favorite box art I may have missed.

I appreciate the hard work everyone has done do far making launch box a great aesthetic front end and this is my way of giving back to the community.  I look forward to feedback.

Cheers

Lassiveran

Great stuff Lassiveran

Is there a lot of missing db entries for these games as well? I was going to make a start on getting these into the db today but have ran into problems straight away. I cant find a lot of the games that there is covers for in the db, I have them in my collection as apart of the no intro sets. For instance if you search the db for "3d golf" it does not find an entry for it in c64.

I guess a lot of these games need to be added to the db as well as their images.

I'm a Commie user and went to college for graphic design, and I can say these are very nicely done!  I appreciate the hard work. :D  Did you use Illustrator?
