if you have something to scan in i have found that GB/GBC/GBA/DS covers are the easiest to make with raws.

Unfortunately, I don't... Most of these were purchased used or were from my younger days when I wasn't as much of a pack rat...

A quick Google Search did bring up this, for what it's worth...

http://www.vgmuseum.com/scans/gameboy.html
http://www.vgmuseum.com/scans/gbc.html

There's no Spine Scans and there's only two games on the list that they've got both front and back that I need (Quarth and Ms. Pac Man Special Color Edition) - and the second one I don't think is high quality enough...

But, flipping around the site, there may be some other scans that might be useful to others on here...
Title: Re: GB/GBC - UncleBob's List of Missing Games
Post by: UncleBob on June 15, 2008, 05:35:15 AM
Dang, here's another site that might be good, even beyond what I need...

http://www.gamescanner.org

Again, no spines, but they have the front and back to
Donkey Kong Land 2 (US)
Mr. Chin's Gourmet Paradise
Trouballs
Wario Land 2 (US)
Wario Land 2 (Color)
Wario Land 3 (US)

They seemed to be pretty high quality scans.

I don't know what this site's rules are about "stealing" scans from another site...

Trouballs

I just bought this game and it is definitely an interesting puzzle game. It is a lot of fun too!  :)

I do not think he minds. He has made covers for this site before.

I added Kid Icarus (GB) - the version hosted on the site is the German cover. :(

I gave it a shot recreating the Wario Land II covers

4tyGames - Trouballs is a different kind of puzzle game, for sure.  I still love Pyramids of Ra though. :)

SymptomsOfMercy - Hey, thanks!  That was quick!
Title: Re: GB/GBC - UncleBob's List of Missing Games
Post by: UncleBob on June 16, 2008, 10:42:23 PM
Well, I uploaded the front/backs for the five covers that I've found online.  I don't know if anyone can come up with something, as there are no spines.

I've also found someone with a pretty nice collection of GB/GBC games and I've asked him to stop by TCP and consider scanning some of his games in (starting with mine, of course! ;)).

That just leaves 14 games...

Don't forget to point him in the direction of my scanning guide. (I made it so I wouldn't have to IM someone like UncleBob again... ;))

lol.  I pointed him to this thread, so if he's interested, he should see your message. ;)

I uploaded some more RAWs, a few of my own and a few from some other sites (including a nice guy from MobyGames that hooked me up with a non-watermarked version of Oddworld Adventures!)...

If any of the RAWs aren't high enough quality, let me know and I'll add them back to my wanted list.

Post by: UncleBob on June 18, 2008, 12:11:48 PM
Okay - I was up all night scouring the world wide interwebz looking for anything that might help.  Found some scans, found some company e-mail addresses, found some eBay sellers (none of which have replied back in a way that helps yet, but that was a long shot)... even found an original programmer for one of the games.

I've formatted the list with links to like covers and the uploaded Raw files.  If anyone needs anything, please let me know so I can help you help me. :)
Thanks!

I threw a few together so you can see how they look with your scans

Donkey Kong Land 2

Oddworld Adventures

http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/Symptoms0fMercy.retail.gb_gb_oddworldadventures.jpg

Wario Land 3

BTW those Donkey Kong Country scans are GBA not GBC

Those look good to me!  I won't be able to print them out until I get to Staples again, but I'm thrilled. :)  Thanks!

Re: DKC - I didn't even realize that!  I'm in such a hurry to find scans... and I didn't even know DKC was released on GBA... I know 2/3 were, but I thought the first one was only on the GBC (well, SNES too...). Wow... Guess I'm off looking for more scans. ;)
Title: Re: GB/GBC - UncleBob's List of Missing Games
Post by: UncleBob on June 18, 2008, 12:44:58 PM
Okay, I grabbed some GBC DKC scans... as with some of the others, they're not spectacular, but it's all I can find right this second...

I was looking in the RAWs today and saw that all of the RAWs I had uploaded from other sites had been deleted (including one I scanned up but accidentally attributed to another site).

Is this due to the quality of the images, or for other reasons?

Post by: UncleBob on June 27, 2008, 10:47:09 PM
I'm going tomorrow to get the next set of prints made up (33 as of right now).  Anyone who wants to stay up into the wee hours of the night working on the RAWs I've uploaded, tonight's the night to do it! ;) ;) ;)

Well, I'm glad no one stayed up all night making covers - I ended up not getting to make the trip to get covers printed that I had hoped to.  Dang it, I really want to see my finished Wario Ware Twisted cover...

I uploaded scans from Trouballs... Found the box in my attic...

Getting closer.  Finally got over to get this most recent set printed up. :)

Thanks for the help here, folks! :)

Damn, very nice.  Looks very good.  I was going to post something similar.  What's with all of the copies, though?

Also, cool to know your local Staples will handle your printing requests!

What's the game you have a bunch of copies of in the top right corner?

FaceBall 2000 (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/?catid=18&threadid=19203).

What, you mean everyone doesn't have 16 copies?

No. :(

I had an event with the launch of Brawl, but, due to various reasons, I only ended up with 9 players. :(

One of these days... ;)

Well, here's something I haven't dealt with for awhile...

Anyone interested in picking up the four titles who's RAWs I've uploaded (Ms. Pac Man, Catwoman, Trouballs, Duck Tales)?

Anyone... anyone? :)

By picking up, you mean "make covers for", right?
