Hello! Love this site, I just started putting my Gameboy games in cases  ;D

One cover that I would like to have made is a new cover for F-1 Race. Although the cover on the site claims to be a retail cover, I don't think it is. I found one that closely resembles what I'm looking for in the following post:

http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=1088.msg69141#msg69141

...But I'm requesting a version of that cover in English. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a lot of high-quality scans of the NA cover floating around on the internet. These are the best I could find:

And I don't know how much help it'll be, but here is the cartridge label for reference (the black specks in the lower left are supposed to be there, they are pieces of asphalt)

As you can see the only major difference is the tagline on the front. If someone with photoshop talents could erase the French/Dutch taglines on the HQ cover and replace it with the English tagline, that would be phenomenal. I really don't care too much about the back, it can be left alone, translated, or simply replaced with the one on the site already.

Thank you!

I have scans for the big box version. I tried making a DS cover with it, but the art is cropped to thin.
and I found Japan scans.

Can the big box scan be used to patch over the text in the other cover?

Yep front scan seems to have the necessary parts.

Backcover can be just retyped.

A mix of the PAL cover, The Long Box, and a poor Moby Games shot.
I can combine them better.

Fire up your engines for the Nintendo grand prix!

F-1 Race! You’re at the wheel of a Formula 1 race car. You’ll have to be a world class driver to stay on the course. Steer carefully, hugging the corners at over 250kph isn’t easy! Fourteen race tracks take you around the world for a truly international challenge.

Practice in the Time Trials, then enter the Nintendo gran prix.
You can choose between two specially designed cars. The courses are tough, with dangerous turns and opposing cars.

To find out if you're really good, use Four Player Adapter and race with one to four players. Out manouver your friends, give it a burst of nitro and watch their faces as they eat your fumes!

Up to four players can race simultaneously using the Four Player Adapter.

Here is alternate bit edited version I prefer:

Here is a retail cover.
I'll make a custom version in a little bit with the alt back text if you want it.
