I have 3-4 original boxes, in semi-decent shape.  I could probably bug a buddy of mine to scan them in if any of the cover ninjas are feeling frisky enough to use them to create a template.

Getting scans of stuff like this is ALWAYS welcome. I can bet that I could be able to put something together from them.

The covers don't look difficult to do, really. And they're AWESOME, to boot.

Those covers are pretty simple, so photos like that are super useful. I just made some perspective adjustments and drew over that. I gave up with that last preview image, and the Videocart-1 font. I also couldn't make out the text at the bottom.

I don't want to get too invested in this project though, sorry.

Dropped my pile of covers off at a friend's, got a usb stick back.  Unfortunately, all I told him was "High quality, front and back" so they're not exactly perfectly straight, aaaand they're 96 meg bitmaps, because that's the highest quality he could do.

Anyway, I hope they help someone with more talent than me.

Edit: I also have a few cart-only's that I can scan the front of if that'll help?

Wow. Those are superb scans. I've got a few things in the pipeline but I *really* want to give these a shot. Hopefully by the end of the week...
