I've added four new covers for games:
- Gothic
- Giants: Citizen Kabuto
- Invictus: In the Shadow of Olympus
- Stonekeep
Some of the links are still broken, so if any of them gives you a "404 - Not Found" error, make sure that there aren't any spaces in the adress bar.

*sigh* It would definitely be nice if GOG fixed this ridiculous let's-throw-extra-whitespaces-into-the-text-randomly bug in the forum :-(

that is a bit of an annoying bug. From what I've seen so far it looks like it's only in the edit post pages, I'm guessing there's a small script typo in there somewhere.
Broken ones (by the look of the link)
Broken Sword 2 & 3
Giants
Invictus
jagged alliance deadly games
jagged alliance 2 unfinished business
oddworld abes oddysee
unreal tournament goty
I thought for a second I'd seen a pattern, almost all of these have colon's in the name and thought it might be the cause but theres one with a colon where it's not broken and one broken where there's not a colon. Might still be worth setting a codemonkey onto it though.

Two typos. There's also the hey-let's-add-two-blank-lines-after-each-end-quote-tag bug :-(

Oh I figured that was the same problem just manifesting after a carriage return character

Added one new cover for Castles + Castles 2.

Just spotted a typo in the back cover text for broken sword 3, the word "holed" is used instead of "hold". I know it's really whoever wrote the original blurb on the game page but might be good to fix quickly if you can.

Thanks, actually it should read "the duo must unravel the mystery involving the 'Voynich Manuscript' which holds the secrets". Fixed.

Thanks a lot for this!

GIANTS!
Love it, thank you.

Just added a new cover for Freespace + Expansion

Have you considered making labels for the actual discs as well? That'd be a nice thing to see when you open one of the fancy covers rather than a bland white disc with a handwritten title

I have. The only problem is, who actually would use them? I mean, if you want to make the label look like an authentic disc, you have to use a special printer with the ability to print disc labels. And I know those aren't cheap.
I could make the Lightscribe version, but once again, not everyone has a DVD recorder with this function. Also, the Lightscribe prints are always grayscale, so they don't look very professional.
I don't want to comment the stick-on labels, cause they're not worth mentioning.

Dude! Those stick on covers that are always on bootleg discs are hilariously awesome! They never manage to center them properly.

I've found a local scribe service that seems rather professional. I'm sending some game labels that I have over for printing, and I'll update you guys on the quality once I get them back
Meanwhile, I'm also contacting them to see if they do international shipping, for all you NA and European spuds
-edit-
Good news, they do ship internationally. Check out their website here:
http://www.colourscribe.com
There'll be shipping charges; contact them to find out more
