Title: My Video Game Collection
Post by: Paul on August 28, 2008, 04:25:58 PM
Well, like Xanderboy said in his thread, I'd like to thank thecoverproject.net and everyone that contributes/dwells on this site.  Without you, my video game collection wouldn't even look half as good as it does/will.

All of my retro games are yet to be cased.  Mediashelving has the UGC's on backorder until November... so... it may take a while.

Let's Begin!

Nintendo DS:

Nintendo Gameboy Advance: (Still Need 2 Covers, hence the 2 blank cases)

Thanks for looking!

Nice collection.  I really see why you want those UGC cases.  I guess they have to be modded for NES cases, right?  That's going to be a pain for you.

I like your shelving, too.  Is that a full shelf or just below your computer desk?

Don't know if you have a scanner, but if you do, can you scan the XBOX demo disk covers? I'm a sucker for that stuff and it seems like it'd be a PITA to get scanned later on.

I have July 2002 Official Xbox Magazine Disk #7, do you need that one too?  Though it's just a cardboard sleeve, not a case.

Yea... it will be a pain.. but I have until later this year to sit around and dread it!  Yay backorder!

Thanks for the compliment on my shelves!  Actually, my father and I built three 96 inch shelves above my computer desk (with about a foot and a half or so height). 

Although, I'm a crazy Disney collector so I have snowglobes on the next shelve up and plush/collectibles on the top shelf.  The bottom shelf is DS/GBA/GCN.

The Xbox 360/Wii are in the entertainment center.  My NES games are under the entertainment center (moved them since the pic), N64 and Genesis are in a cabinet type thing in my closet.  And my Xbox/PS1/PS2 are in one of those lock-up Video cases.  It has three main shelves inside, and little shelve things on the doors.

I also have the custom spines/covers that Doom made for me but I didn't have them on in the pic.  I have them in my "cover binder" :)

And to Doom, I have a scanner but I don't get the greatest scans... I'll try, but I'm not sure how they will come out.  I have a HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-One and I can't find that desaturize option thing that you mentioned in your guide.

Xanderboy - the cardboard sleeves are shorter so it may be harder to make something out of it.

I don't actually NEED it, I just think it's cool to catalog all of the obscure demos and games on TCP. No rush and no worries. ;)

Well.  I think I figured out how to get my scanner working here.  Need someone to let me know if scans are good or not once I upload one.  If they are good, I can scan a crapload of stuff.

EDIT:

I uploaded the cover but I'm getting an error message...?

Probably a site issue. It should clear itself up eventually.

here:

does that meet the requirements of the site?

also, my covers just need some cropping on the top and side from the other DS cases I put on top of it while scanning.
