Dat Dragon... awesome work!

As far as I know, all art credit (both the insert and in game) goes to the talented Tim Jonsson (Paiku). I just laid out my own fan inserts...

For those of you not following Raz's Crossed Swords 2 thread, I put together a "NeoCover special" Full Frontal Look.

WISE FROM YER GWAVE!

So two years ago? I made this insert

And NeoCover pointed out that the cars on the front cover did not look right, and I was like whatever.

But then I finally printed one out and the sumbitch was right!

So today I tweaked it...

Got a link to that? Lol.

I remember thinking that a photo-realistic front cover wasn't the best choice but that was me; however, when I saw that insert I thought that if you ran the cars through a filter or did some
Tweaks that gave them a cell-shaded effect, it may come off pretty kick-ass. I went through this thread and there's some great stuff I've missed throughout the years.

most of your covers look a lot better than the existing original versions. nevertheless i prefered the original ones most of the time, but i tend to switch to "full le geek" (as far as it is possible)...

you heard it thousand times, here once more: thanks for your awesome work.

Looks great! I would personally remove all the NEO GEO formalities on the front cover.

Awesome work le geek, your inserts are really cool :)

Do you think you can create full-frontal inserts for all the games that don't have one? (including your inserts and the existing inserts in the southtown web site some MVS doesn't got a full frontal insert)

I have the SNK/SNK playmore MVS full set and it would be awesome to have all cards in shockboxes with only full-frontal inserts.

It will looks really awesome. I don't like to mix full frontal inserts and more classical inserts like the BB inserts.
Even if the BB inserts look great, I still prefer full frontal versions.

I've check on southtown and legeek site and the games without fullfrontal inserts are sports games and quiz games.
If I were good at it, I would work on it but photoshop is really not my friend :lolz:

I made a rapid list of the games without fullfrontal inserts:
_Aggressors of Dark Kombat
_Alpha Mission 2
_Bang Bead
_Breakers Revenge
_Chibi Marukochan Deluxe Quiz
_Diggerman
_Fight Fever
_Flip Shot
_Ganryu
_Goal! Goal! Goal!
_Irritating Maze
_Jockey Grand Prix
_Magical Drop 2
_Mahjong Bakatonosama Manyuki
_Mahjong Kyoretsuden
_Mahjong Minnasano Okagesamadesu
_Master of Syougi
_Neo Geo Cup '98
_Panic Bomber
_Power Spikes 2
_Puzzle de Pon!
_Puzzle de Pon! R
_Quest of Jong Master
_Quiz Daisousa Sen

_Tecmo World Soccer '96
_Top Player's Golf
_World Heroes

Based on the list, I'd say that Super Dodge Ball and Magical Drop II are both likely future inserts.

The trick is finding good scans of source material. If you can track those down, the odds of an insert being made go up considerably. :mr_t:
