The enemies and guards are all splendidly illustrated and humorous in their actions (they chuckle with sinister glee when they shoot you). You'll have to increase the brightness on your TV to really appreciate the cool backgrounds. The graphics in Blackthorne are 3D: dismal, dark, and detailed.

Watch for door triggers on the floor, like this one beneath the plants at the beginning of the second stage.

Controlling the various armaments is quick and effective. Laser Field Generators and take out guards.

Aim a Wasp Bomb through the small open hole just to the left of this Laser Shield Generator.

I'm extremely happy with 98% of these covers, but there are definitely some blurry/crappy ones in amongst the good ones.

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.
