Title: Holy Grail of Game Covers?
Post by: shenske on March 12, 2010, 05:07:47 PM: So for my curiosity I was wondring what people consider to be the hardest videogame cover to find (NES generation and beyond please). I should have a little time coming into spring break to where i might be able to work on a "hard to find" cover. Obviously this would be a custom and I can't guarantee that i can make it but hey worth a try right? ;)

I will honestly have to make a topic in the request form for all the hundreds of games I have that aren't on here...

Post by: Zelimpdna on March 17, 2010, 05:05:52 PM: Torneko no Daibōken: Fushigi no Dungeon - Super Famicom. Wikipedia has a fairly low-res scan of the front of the box, but that's all I've seen for this.

World Cup Striker - SNES. I assumed this was a fairly common game, but there are no pictures of it anywhere.

Also possibly Ultraman for the Super Famicom. I'm not sure how close the original box resembles the western release, which we have on the site [http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=4812]

I own this game complete. Would there be need for the cover?

Post by: Zelimpdna on March 17, 2010, 10:37:05 PM: Yes. It's one of six SFC games I own still uncovered.

Post by: UncleBob on March 17, 2010, 11:22:20 PM: You can see my old thread of GB covers I still need.

In fact, I'd say any kind of cover holy grail would likely be a Game Boy game.

Post by: thesubcon3 on March 19, 2010, 01:08:42 PM: About the Battle Kid response... that's likely what I'll end up doing, but the quality of my covers isn't even close to shenske's...

Post by: Grumbleduke on March 19, 2010, 01:40:46 PM: E.U Colecovision cover scans are rarer than chickens teeth, though thats pre-NES. Mega Swiv for Mega drive and SNES Rockman Soccer JP are tough to find anything decent for.
