I'm looking for retail covers for a few Japanese Bullet Hell and Fighting titles. Most of these titles are extremely rare (even in Japan), so I'm not expecting too much response. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the full list, all are PS2:

Psyvariar -Complete Edition-
Psyvariar 2
Last Blade 1&2
Cho Aniki: Seinaru Protein Densetsu
Homura
Ibara
Giga Wing Generations
Gunbird Special Edition
Psikyo Shooting Collection Vol. 1: Strikers 1945 I & II
Psikyo Shooting Collection Vol. 2: Sengoku Ace & Sengoku Blade
Psikyo Shooting Collection Vol. 3: Sol Divide & Dragon Blaze
Espgaluda
DoDonPachi Dai-Ou-Jou
Melty Blood: Actress Again
Mushihime-Sama

Ibara, espgaluda and do don pachi are available on moby games, that's were I got mine, however, this being moby they aren't very high quality, maybe they can be improved on though...

I mainly want to use printouts of these as placeholders until I can acquire the authentic version, so that quality should be fine. The problem with these rare import titles is the lack of good raw scans. They probably didn't have large print runs, even in Japan...

How to you get printable versions of the two you posted?

I have a few import titles that I plan on contributing to the site as soon as I can get my scanner set up correctly. Nothing super rare, but I have some Japanese and European region PS2 titles.

The problem with Moby Games (aside from the low quality) is the watermark. I'm fairly skilled with GIMP, but I have no experience doing watermark removal.

They are in my box.net - link below

If quality on these is acceptable, I'll knock out a few more

Excellent work.

I should be importing most of these in the future, so I'll upload good quality raw covers when I get them. Many of these are $50+, so they'll probably be staggered out as funds become available. Ibara is $100+, so that one might be a while...
