I just purchased Super Bomberman from ebay, I really want a case like the link below:
http://jiffypoprevolution.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/super-bomberman-party-pack.jpg
Thanks.
-
As would many others, but nobody bothers to buy boxed copy that could be used as raw material.
I have US manual but the image is B&W so it doesn't help.
-
I can try to get the box and upload it to you guys.

That would be big help.
Either box (normal or the big Party Box) is fine.
Or just big high quality image of the front.
-
Thanks, as I like it horizontal version. Thanks.
-
I am search for Super Bomberman covers as well... I would like both SB1 and SB2 vertical cover.
Any luck on finding material ofr scan?

As for Super Bomberman, we have US cover with PAL image.
Easy to convert to US art work as soon as someone provides us with it.
We also have Super Bomberman 3 in US Vertical, as well as raws to do Super Bomberman 4 and Super Bomberman 5 with JAP art work.

Hi Arseen, for Super Bomberman PAL, are you referring to this cover: http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=2196
It might sound like a terrible idea, but I could scan my NA cart label at the highest resolution to give us a front cover art to start working with.

I meant US Vertical but with PAL artwork at the front.

We just need the front image so if you can somehow fit thast onto the scanner in such way that it's not too much raised from the surface (because this creates out of focupots).
Or try to scan it in 2 parts with some overlap.
-
And here is the 3rd one

And the 2 alternates

Thanks! These all look great.
Now I need to find a NTSC repro for Super Bomberman 3 :)

Or just buy Japanese copy.
As ypou know these games are not that text heavy.
And I have raws for English, French and German version of the Manual, and emptied pages which allow me to do any other language manual as well, currently doing Finnish one.

Just remembered I had this:

Yeah I still have the text I translated stored, as well as all pages blank and cleaned.
But if you can make me the manual (including printing and assembly) I would be more than pleased to pay you to do it.

Fortunately, I recovered the files and the progress was at a 50%. I'm only missing a few screenshots and I have to insert some of the translated text. I'm working on both the cropped English part of the manual and the Finnish version, should be ready in a couple of weeks. Once it's ready I'll let you know ;)
Sorry for the stalemate, got a new job a few months ago and the time I had to spend on VG designing was significantly reduced.
Can you translate pages 2 and 75 please? These contain all the legal text and the limited warranty blah blah blah.
-
No problem, been buzy at work myself too.
Sure I can translate them.
I'll do it at work tomorrow.
(the text at bottom of page 02 is actually Finnish, but it's stupidly written and has typos).

Here is a scan of Super Bomberman 1 cart... just in case it could be use by somebody who can totally rework it.
I also have an issue with my scanner in color mode. For whatever reason it show repetitive horizontal lines.
Filtered label:

Cool, thanks.

Awesome to know someone is working on this. I would love a Super Bomberman NA horizontal retail cover.

Can I have back scan as well. Thanks.

Yeah. The site doesn't have a horizontal cover for the NA version. Was hoping there was one out there.

Super Bomberman related (not a complete hijack of the thread)
I got bored awhile back and played with the manual a bit. I suck at the game so I still need to do the 5 in-game screenshots (someday...)
http://www.atensionspan.com/SNES-2K-JPG-Super_Bomberman-Colorized.zip (http://www.atensionspan.com/SNES-2K-JPG-Super_Bomberman-Colorized.zip)
resized jpgs for screen viewing (7MB version I can share, not the 173MB 600dpi TIFF originals)
-
Hmm not bad altough the DPI is bit wrong, 72DPI, but size is too big, so I quess 200DPI when correct size?
300DPI would be preferred.
But quality is good, so the assembled correctly should make nice manual.
Screenshots don't have to be 100% correct so grab those from Google or screen capture from youtube.
SO big Thank you.
BTW: Mediafire is free and can handle 200MB files... just a suggestion... or request... ;D
-
My friend provided me the link below, please can someone makes it in nice horizontal cover:
http://www.mediafire.com/view/cdw671kp5g7cd76/Super%20Bomberman.jpg#
-
Damn that scanner takes good scans. :o
If only the scan would be 300DPI... but Party pack is big so still good cover might doable.

Better than nothing, I hope someone can make a good use out of it because I heard a lot of people want this cover in the retail format. At least I have 5 friends want it really bad. :)
I hope this cover will come soon.
-
Watching this thread closely. :)
-
Everyone eagerness and desire in here, for the Horizontal retail of this, is inspiring me to have a crack at it for you guys.
However, I saw Arseen has been working on it so dont want to put myself through the pain staking restoration of those scans (given they arent the greatest quality DPI wise) if he is near finishing it.......?
If not, then more than happy to take this on right now......I have already started cleaning up and sharpening the logos and the SNES console area on the bottom left of the front.
Arseen - let me know please man, as again, dont want to step on your toes but equally would like to get going on it if you are not anywhere near finished?

I think you can just work it because I think he is working on something else, like working on other covers.

Yep, feel more than free to do the cover, the more options the merrier as then the best bits can be combined.
However:
I have never said I'm working on this cover, or at least I think I haven't, as I am not. ;D
I do Verticals as those are easier.
And even those are on hold as I still haven't bougfht decent computer, and I'm strapt on time as my real work is taking up all my time currently.

Awesome, I hope this website will have the cover up soon. :) :) :) :)

Cool, I shall go ahead with it then.......I just assumed from your reply to someone asking if anyone is working this cover being this =
I'll take that as a no.
I am fiddling with the image shenske provided.

That had been or were working on it.
No worries, I will get cracking on it tomorrow and hopefully have it done by the end of the weekend when I find the time.

Hmm.
I either meant that I have been hearing that someone is making it or I meant that I'm working on the Vertical version... can't remember which.
Anyway both are accurate.

Cool, no worries..........if no-one is working on the Horizontal retail then I will continue then! ;)
Just been having a bit of a play with it now before I head off to bed and the front is already looking miles better the adjustments and clean up I have done so far.
Might do some Mel like "WHIP" shots just to give all the desperate to have this cover people something salivate over as I go! lol.

I shall get going WHIPping this cover into shape tomorrow. ;D

:D It's good too see this project is in good hands.

I can't wait to see the end product because my game was in a case without the cover for so long. I am checking this thread every hour, hahahha ;D ;D ;D
-
Ohh god...........talk about pressure!!! lol.
Its weird, cuz with all the other NTSC-U horizontals youve had me do Banisher, it always felt like it was kinda just for you and they were also shitty games that noone would really be looking for covers for anyway.
Where this is obviously an awesome, classic game, that many people have wanted and been itching for for YEARS!
Also, thanks for you comment there Spiden......really appreciate you saying that like that.
Just hope I can deliver now! :o

Don't be pressured. All the covers you have made, I have them share with my friends, so your covers were at least been used by 5 of my friends.
Again, your covers are awesome and you as a user is even more AWESOME. :)

LOL!.......thank you as always for the all the un-wavering encouragement B. ;)

Get a room you two! ;) ;D

Lol! Yeah......was thinking my and Banisher's love fest might be getting noticeable. ;D
Soon, there will be something that he is doing for me that will cause an outpouring of adoration from me that might make people rather uncomfortable. :-*

Does it involve an orange, a belt and a plastic bag? :o

You guys are funny.!

I know right!? I am often very close from attempting to explain to people how I have other, more pressing (well, actually interesting and enjoyable) demands on my time! Lol.
Also, where my Mrs is a child of divorce, we have to extend days like this to ANOTHER day so we can visit both sides of her family!
If only they understood. :(
Ohh and B, wouldnt think it will be ready today or tomorrow due to all this, and the fact I (as always with this kind of thing) forgot that it was happening when I gave my original estimate for doing this.
-
Absolutely no problem. Take your time. I think this will be one of your masterpieces. :)

*Progress Report*
As I have been gorging myself on Easter food for the last 2 days, my time has been limited with our cover here.
But I am making good progress, with lots of little bits done all over it (like logos cleaned up, blocks of text and such) and begun to be put in place across the overall image.
The front is A LOT more difficult than I realised.........as there are 2 weird changes in the texture and colouring of the image, must be some kind of scanning thing? as it seems quite smooth and just a simple clean up but then all of sudden there is a huge block of more pixelated image across it (the lower half of the image and upper right hand half) where it just changes completely.
Which is making the clean up a lot more time consuming as I am wanting to smooth it ALL out, so it is consistent across the entire image, instead of just cleaning up these strange different "sections" of the image and leaving it with this weird distortion.
So yeah, forgetting about the Easter familial demands on my time and this tricky bastard of an inconsistent image are my two excuses!.........and I am sticking to them! ;D
Couple more days and I should be done, and if anyone has any tips how I can get rid or integrate these grainy, more dot matrix'ie areas of the image that doesnt require my pixel by pixel clean up.........mucho appreciado!

Its Ok man, no need to apologise.......Im NEARLY there!
Just makes it so much harder and time consuming, and its been a crazy week and half for me since I committed to doing this........not a good combo.
Tomorrow I am starting bright and early with it and I want this bitch DONE by lunch time!!! >:(
-
Awesome. Thanks.
-
Awesome. Thanks.
Yeah, I spoke to god damned soon.............."life" took a giant shit on my plans to finish this today...........man, the last couple of weeks have been god awful for me in terms of stress and external (and mostly unforeseen) demands on my time and energy!
Im not even going to say anything more about when I might be finishing this off now, as every time I do some bull crap goes down here in the real world and I end up presumably disappointing you guys thinking it might be up on whatever day I keep saying it will be.
To be honest, I know Ive been saying it for a while and then re-appearing making covers again, but I need a break from these as there is so much crap going here, and it is only getting worse, that I hate keep committing myself to doing covers for people and then taking an absolute age to do them.
We shall see but this bastard IS getting done.......Im nearly there with it.
-
Relax. It's a hobby. It gets done if/when it gets done. Nobody dies if it doesn't get finished.
Conversely I hope whatever it is that shit on your plans isn't too serious, and you're back soon.
-
No reason to feel under the gun.

No reason to feel under the gun.
Agreed. Just relaxed.

Cheers guys........although youre one to talk Banisher! bloody emailing me asking for progress reports every few days!!! ;D
And you guys are right, I just absolutely HATE saying I am going to do something and then not doing it.........especially when I dont mean to not be doing that thing but stress and madness cant ever seem to leave my tired ass alone.
This is also the reason I feel the incessant need to come in here (and other threads where I have taken longer than expected to finish something) and explain myself. :P
Its just been unexpected external pressures and requirements of me that I cannot control, all whilst I am under IMMENSE pressure to finish a mountain of work I have to do in an extremely short time frame..........any wonder why I am effectively ignoring all that to try and make covers as a god damned distraction? lol.
Yeah, typing that and the 1478th realisation of how screwed I am with this workload.........I really should stop for a while after this one, as it simply isnt working anymore (ie: this used to be my stress reliever and distraction but it is fast becoming yet another stress on me, although this one is self inflicted for a change!).
Thanks again people, shall hopefully be getting this done soon.

Oops my fault. I will stop asking for anymore progress. I apologize for that. Sorry.
I will buy this cover from retrogamescases, once again, I am sorry if I added extra pressure to you.

You don't have to be that extreme. The guy's working on your cover. You don't have to threaten to go buy the cover from retro game cases. Be cool.

I am threatening or anything, I just feel sorry for my pressure, so I just want to lighten the pressure for him by getting the cover from somewhere else. That's all and I am not too sure how would that sound threatening, while I feel like this is caring. Maybe is my sentence tone or something, but I am not threatening anyone.
To be honest, I really like his work and if I can meet him in the real world, I would like to show how much I appreciate his work and I think we can be friend.

He's almost done with the cover. He just didn't have time to finish it. He's trying to finish it with you in mind as you've been the primary asking for it. By going out and buying a cover from retrogamecases is a slap in the face. It's throwing away the work he's already done. It's basically telling him, "Don't bother, I'll get my cover elsewhere."
-

Also, he is the person who inspired me the most to try to complete the SNES collection because he willing to make the covers that I miss without charges or make a bunch of nasty comments. So there is no way that I am threatening him, I really treated him as my friend.

To be honest, I really like his work and if I can meet him in the real world, I would like to show how much I appreciate his work and I think we can be friend.
He's almost done with the cover. He just didn't have time to finish it. He's trying to finish it with you in mind as you've been the primary asking for it. By going out and buying a cover from retrogamecases is a slap in the face. It's throwing away the work he's already done. It's basically telling him, "Don't bother, I'll get my cover elsewhere."
That is no my intention at all, my intention was to tell him he does not to add extra pressure on his shoulder and I apologize if I added any pressure to him. Thats all.

@ segamer
One more thing, I’ve tried my best to avoid retrogamecases already because I do not see his covers got posted on this site, but a lot of his covers were from this site. So I always want to have covers that retrogamecases have on his site to be created and posted on this website because this way nobody needs to pay the premium price for the cover.
But for this cover, it seems like OhhNoYouNintenDidnt has so much going on with his life already and it seems like my status update was pressuring him. So I just want to remove that pressure and get this cover from retrogamecases and share it.
Even typing this message is making me cry because it seems like my message got misunderstood.
-
One last thing, if OhhNoYouNintenDidnt posted the cover, I will definitely use the cover he made for us, just like The Flintstones cover he personally made for me.
-
Ohh man............now I REALLY wish I hadnt said anything (outside the embarrassment of my whining) as I really did not want to cause an issue with or between anyone!
Banisher - man, I was only kidding, I have a bit of a sarcastic sense of humour so please, I REALLY did not want or need you to apologise man! You more than anyone here got me started on all this! I just hate letting you down.
So please, do not apologise...........but equally..........dont go and buy the cover elsewhere as I will have to kill you if you suddenly didnt need or want it anymore! ;D ;D ;D
Seagamer - Banisher and I have talked via PM and at each other on here for months and months, as I said above he is the sole reason I really got started here as with his SFC request and the encouragement he gave me that and every moment/cover since............there is absolutely NO WAY he meant any dis-respect or malice when he suggested buying the cover!
As he explained, he was simply making a suggestion and/or reacting to all my professions of stress and craziness surrounding the making of this cover...........which he pretty much asked me to do directly (before I even saw or posted in this thread via PM), so given that he seems like such a great, genuine, honest guy, I am 110% sure he was purely suggesting that out of concern for me due to what I have been saying.......as knowing him so far, he probably feels a bit responsible for all this crap I have been talking! which he is in no way part of course.
So thats THAT! no harm done, Banisher didnt mean anything by his suggestion............but I see where you are coming from Seagamer in the sense that if I thought for 1 second that Banisher meant that as a "Ohh for gods sake, Ill just go and BUY the cover then!!!", then it would be pretty shitty to pull the plug on my efforts.
But he did not mean that at all..............and my cover is going to be better than any damned one you could buy anyway!!! 8)
-
Thank you for understanding, I didn't buy the cover. I definitely want to use your cover.
-
Making these covers seems like fun at first but it's very easy to burn out on them. Just give yourself a generous time frame to work on ONE cover at a time and you'll be all right, a week or two to do one cover is no big deal.
I entirely understand though, I still haven't really recovered my enthusiasm for this sort of work after working relentlessly on SNES RPG manuals with some of the lads here. Just totally sucked the fun out of it for me and that was almost a year ago.
-
Very interesting thought. ::)

I must admit, I havent really wanted to admit (certainly say that to you guys) to myself but that is how I am feeling right now with these.
Not consciously really, as I WANT to do covers but I keep losing my shit a little when things dont quite go as easy as I thought they would be and something requires anything more than the normal amount of effort.
Although, that could be due to the myriad of insanities going on in and around me for awhile now.........which is only going to get worse over the next couple of months.
So I think, as I have actually been saying/suggesting/warning for a while now actually, its time for me to have a bit of break from making covers for a bit.......as I really dont want to feel like this with them, I mean I enjoy doing them so much and also enjoy helping you guys fill out requests and lists but I think you are completely spot on Asarkhel, especially as I have done so much in quite a short amount of time.
Thank you for that! as I probably would have carried on ignoring this "feeling" but I also recognise that I have been reaching this point for a little while now.
-
Yeah.........I just had a quick tentative count up since the first ever request made of me in my SFC thread (the Power Rangers cover).............and I have made 51 covers since January 1st!!! :o
That feels like quite a lot to me. lol..........thats 51 covers in 105 days.........yeah, I think 1 every 2 days or so is quite a lot huh. :-\
-
I think you should stop and relax after this Super Bomberman cover. Have fun in real life my friend.

LOL, I think so too...........the only problem is...........this was one of my few ESCAPES from real life!!! :o
Seriously, "real life" is literally about to really start kicking my ass in about a weeks time, and will do every day from then for a couple of months.......so even if I wasnt feeling the way I am, or having anything like this conversation or trouble I am having finishing these, I would still need a major break any way as it is going to be day and night balls to the wall nasty for me soon.
-
I wish everything will be ok for you. :)

That's way too many you maniac, no wonder you're losing it! Just slow it down to one a week or something and regain your sanity.
If you need some time away ASAP feel free to send me the Bomberman PSD and I can finish it up.
-
Very nice of you, Azarkhel. :)

LOL! yeah, and that isnt counting the 20+ others I had made prior to that in a month or so before...........I tend to go quite hard at things I enjoy in the beginning and then burn out quite quickly. lol.
Thank you for the offer of helping out, I think I will only take you up on that if I REALLY start to lose my shit with it and I am sure that wont happen.
Although...........after reading these messages, and seeing the support and understanding, I felt a little boost in terms of "Yeah, lets finish this thing today for these guys!", so Im chilling out just waking up, thinking Id start on it soon, get up to have a cigarette...........and my back is wet..........thats odd..........ohh, Ok, of course, the cat has pissed RIGHT in the middle of where I relax so now I have strip down the sofa of all the cushions, blankets, covers and other stuff she managed to get her stinky piss on (including me and my tshirt) and will now be washing them for the next few hours by hand with biological washing powder............. :(
LOL, not that this is anywhere near as bad as what has been going and what is to come for me............but man, you gotta just take a moment some times and tip your hat to how life just seems to LOVE to fuck with you at the most opportune moments huh. ;)
Anyway, this thread is WAAAAAYYYY to full of my moaning and complaining, so Im off to get scrubbing these huge sofa cushions, have a bath and THEN Ill have a crack at our little Bomberman fellow here. :P
-
Take it slowly my friend. No need to rush. :)
-
Well B...........I actually feel like right now, this one is beyond me.
Its just the AMOUNT of minute distortion (and major distortion) that is just killing me..........I have literally just gone at the front for the last 4 hours straight and I have advanced about another 5th of the way down it, after having done about 1 and a half 5th's over the course of the last 2 weeks!
There is this point (which is where I am at) where the scan becomes a COMPLETELY different texture and I just have no idea what to do with it, how to blend it in or anything...........I have spent all this time on the front (I have been doing other areas when I cannot take any more of the front) and I actually feel like I cannot finish it, like I simply do not have the skill set to do it and someone else will/does.
Even the other parts I have done or tinkered with, just take so fucking long............as the scan quality is NOT QUITE good enough, it makes you feel like it will be Ok and "normal" amount of work, then you start and you realise you are going to have re-draw all the lettering by hand..........which is nasty nasty stuff.
So...........I am sorry to do this............but I dont think I can do it.
It is going to take me a lot longer, and I really think I have just been working on it too long now, as I start and then it soon as it becomes mildly difficult I just start to feel really angry for some reason.
Plus, I simply HAVE to stop doing this in a few days, and I will not be finished in a few days.
Sorry. :'(
-
Absolutely no problem. It is totally fine. Maybe pass on the psd file to Azarkhel.
Take a long break and do something fun. :)
-
Just had a look at that scan, I can see why you are losing your shit with it. Cover art alone looks like it'll be about 2 - 3 hours to clean up by itself.
-
Thanks Azarkhel......and yeah, glad you can see it too.
I have done it quite well as far as my normal standards up to the point where it becomes a new texture.
Ive done the front logo perfect, the text on the right side of the front, the Hudson logo and some of the red text on the back left hand side.
Think you want to give it a go?
-
Just conducted a little test...............thought I would take a look at the Final Fight SFC cover a guy asked me to do, just to see how I got on with it and whether I felt the same.
Well, just under 2 and half hours later............we have a near flawless SFC cover that I did not want to stab myself in the eye over =
(https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/0b16/zwmsj7wazc59bau3g.jpg) (https://www.mediafire.com/view/?zwmsj7wazc59bau)
Not sure what that means..........I think it is a combination of shitty couple of weeks, fear of the coming weeks, burned out a little with these and ultimately a frustrating cover where I bit of more than I could chew.
Regardless, I am going to make one more cover for Banisher and then I am taking a break until the coming shit storm looming over has passed in a couple of months, although Ill still be around to chat. ;)
Thanks again guys for all your understand and words of encouragement, I really appreciate it and also really feel like I a proper part of this community now........something I really hoped would happen when I first started a few months ago now.
-
Yeah, upload the PSD and PM me a link, I'll take a look tonight.

Awesome, thank you so much man..........really appreciate it............good luck, and please try not to show me as being too much of a pansy ass noob by finishing this is a few hours. ;D
Here you go =

Just had an in depth look at the scan and did an hour of clean up...there will be no finishing this in a few hours. The level of moire on this scan is fucking insane. Fixing it is less about retouching the image and more akin to digital painting, I can do it but it's gunna take awhile. I'll keep you guys posted with progress shots and shit.
EDIT: First pass of Bomberman. Each part of the image will need 3 passes total I think. I will come to severely regret taking this on haha.

Thank you for doing this.
-
Indeed, thank you so much man.......and this is exactly what I was talking about! Lol.
Also, you are also what I was talking about in terms of photoshop expertise and how this is just beyond my current skill set......I have literally been clone stamping every square pixel of the damned thing as that as advanced as I get. The whole "moire" thing is something Ive heard but have no idea how to address and fix when its bad.
Perhaps, when you are done and havent hung yourself over it, you can give me a bit of a explanation of how you tackled it, as Im sure I will come up against it again.
Good luck and thank you again!

It's not like this is an obscure title, surely we can get a better base scan from somewhere?

This has been rerquested several times, and better raws have been searched for years, but nobody has ever found better one.
-
Wow, Arseen speaks the truth. :)
-
Front cover has been cleaned and logo vectored. As far as the cover goes the front and spine are done. Before I send myself insane trying to clean up that picture of the fucking kids on the back, does anyone actually have this box? I could really use a scan of a less damaged box for the back. At the least, could who ever scanned this give their box a wipe/clean and try rescanning it?
I'll give this a day or two to see if anyone has it, otherwise i'll get back to retouching (burning my fucking eyes out) the image.
-
I looked at ebay thinking maybe I'd buy, scan, sell, but it's almost $300. Too much $

Ditto, and many times.

Well, I think this is as good as it's going to get. Not really sure of any thing else I can do to it.

Enjoy eBay cover scum!
EDIT: Also, let me know if I made any spelling errors. I'm too tired to check right now.
-
Excelent work.
Do you have the front image without the Multitap part and logo as that would make making Vertical cover whole lot easier.
Thank you.
-

Nah, that would require me to repaint the original image underneath those elements. Not sure I'm prepared to do that.
-
No worries. ;)
I was just asking if you happened to already have one made without he stuff.
-
Thank you. Will this be posted to the site? Thanks.
-
I have no idea, not really up to me. There are some minor deviances that could prevent it from being added, the screenshots for instance aren't 100% identical to the scan.

I really want to say thank you. To be honest, I think this cover is awesome. Your effort and hard work are greatly appreciated. You help a lot of friends save money from retro game cases. Once again thank you.

I'll check it, but most likely it will pass and will be added as Custom, because the cover says Party Pak, which the original small obviously didn't.
I'll let you know if there are any minor things to fix.
-
Holy crap............I completely missed Azarkhel finishing this off!!!!.........sorry man, it looks amazing and thank you so much for taking it out of my hands and doing what you have done with it.
In all honesty, where I missed this resolution to it, I have still been tinkering with this past couple of months, lol..........and actually was working on it right NOW! and found this thread to post in here that I was going to attempt to finish it today! ;D
This definitely should be posted to the site, it is fantastic and BY FAR the best we have ever seen and going to get with all these years of people trying to get viable scans for it.
Bravo sir, I am/was getting there but so bloody glad this one is finally put to bed.

Hello, I'm new here ;D
I've downloaded a couple of beautiful covers already, but still missing a few, one of which being a PAL SNES Vertical Bomberman (1) cover.
I'm going to give making one an attempt, and share it here later on. Please feel free to give feedback by then.
Thanks for all the great work everybody.

Here it is, tips are welcome!

Quite good, just minor nit picks.
- SNS code should be bit bigger font and needs bit better positioning (half CM or so to the right and it's bit above midline so lower it so it's even), and is SNSP P H6.
- Bar code is: 0 39854 00023 2
- There needs to be space between Super and Multitap.
- Legal text should say:
