In a quest to make boxes for all NES titles, I've scoured eBay for photos of boxes not on TCP, and I've got some workable material for a lot of stuff, but I don't have much, if anything on these.

While scans are preferred, a hi-res photo will be sufficient - I can hammer one out from that. I'm not aiming for 100% perfection here but would like to remain somewhat close to retail.

I've added a handful more titles that would be nice to have.

NEW ADDITIONS:

Big Bird Hide & Speak
Big Nose the Caveman
Blackjack
Boulderdash
Captain Planet
Casino Kid II
Challenge of the Dragon
Deathbots
Double Dare
Firehawk
Galactic Crusader
Golf Power
Impossible Mission II AVE Version
Jimmy Connors Tennis
King Neptune
Klashball
Legends of the Diamond
Linus Spacehead (NOT ALADDIN CART)
Menace Beach
Mermaids of Atlantis
Michael Andretti World GP
Mission Cobra
Moon Ranger
Operation Secret Storm
Peter Pan and the Pirates
Quattro Arcade
Quattro Sports
Raid 2020
Roundball
Sesame Street Countdown
Silent Assault
Stunt Kids
Ultimate League Soccer
Ultimate Stuntman
Venice Beach Volleyball

USUAL SUSPECTS:

Golf Grand Slam
Mickey's Adventure in Numberland
Rollerblade Racer

Bee 52
Bubble Bath Babes
Goal! 2
Hot Slots
Nigel Mansell's World Championship
Peek A Boo Poker
Puzzle
Pyramid
Race America
Rad Racket
Seicross
Shooting Range
Short Order/Eggsplode
Stanley
Super Cars
Target Renegade
World Games

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I know these are tough ones to find!

I've located some images for Mickey's Adventure in Numberland, and they should be sufficient to put something together.

Giving this a bump, seeing if there's anything new out there.

if you search Google for games targeting Amazon, you can sometimes find large scans.
I'm certified by Google as a Search Specialist. Remember the course they had last year?

use site:Amazon.com modifier to target Amazon
snes site:Amazon.com for example

trying to help you get some images until someone can scan

Stanley and Dr. Livingstone

Nintendo Age web site has a small scan of the box and the manual:

maybe the pic at MobyGames could help you with the back of the box:

I haven't researched everygame but so far the ones that i have searched for are unlicensed games (like Noahs Ark on snes)
I think that it will be difficult to track down scans.

Nintendo Age has a usable pic/scan of Puzzle too.
Hope this helps until someone can scan

I was able to locate the font for the Super Cars logo, so that one is off the list!

Added a couple more titles to the list that I'm having trouble with.

That's great! finally someone to appreciate raw scans. I am happy that you are a member here.
I am still working on cleaning the NHL '98 scan that you have shared. I work on it in between turbo toons cover.
The Turbo Toons scan is from nintandbox and it is not so good in quality; so i need more time.

anyway, i hope that you add more snes scans in the future. you're a wonderful member here.
glad to have you here.

excellent contribution segamer  :)
I am wondering if you have a raw scan of the Numberland box? I'd like to remove all of the text from the manual cover and add to the height of the image.
if not, no worries. just asking.

Thanks for the scans. Very useful uploads.

Wow, those will be of use Segamer. That contribution is much appreciated.

I found a complete copy of Rollerbalade Racer on eBay and I'm trying to get the seller to get photos of the back and spine - we'll see how that goes.
