I have created a few custom covers for an assortment of random, rather obscure, games that I could not find on TCP yet. Some of them were really tough because there were not many high quality photos of the original front covers for these games. The games range from SNES and N64 to Gameboy and Gameboy Color games. So without further ado, here is a link to my box.com folder for my cover art!

They are all still technically works in progress, so any feedback will be much appreciated.

Looks good, some seem to use lower quality scores.
Some of these covers already exist in the forums, such as Donkey Kong (GB), I made one a few days ago from higher quality resources.
Others we could use, I need a Spy VS. Spy cover. If you are in to making Game Boy covers I made a newer template, It is for 3DS cases but all I ahve to do is thicken the spine for it to be used in DS cases.

Welcome to TCP.

Thanks for the feedback! Yea, some of them are very hard to find quality front covers for, like Spy VS. Spy for GBC.
I did see the one for the original gameboy, but I wanted the cover to match the GBC game. If anyone has a box for it and wouldn't mind uploading a raw scan, I would put it to good use. ;D

I'll keep this thread updated if I fix up some of them or if I added any new covers. Again, thanks for the input.

I may help touch up the front of S vs. S, I''m good at touching up low quality images, my Tiny Toon Adventures 2 cover was made from a image from Moby Games.

My 3DS template is here, I'll update it soon to the DS' spine thickness. The Tiny Toon cover is also available there.
