NES/SNES/GAME BOY/GBC - various games - NTSC/US - Retail covers - challenge?!
replicant_1985:
this is my first post on this wonderful site and I kindly need some help with getting a bundle of well done box scans.
here are as follows....are you up for the challenge?
NOTE: almost all of these are formatted to be for UNIVERSAL GAME CASES except the Game Boy and Game Boy Color, they are designed to be made for NINTENDO DS cases. I do not have any raw scans unfortunately, but maybe some of you who see this post, do. hopefully some of you know how to re-create the look from a raw scan and can build upon the final look. I wish I knew how to make them myself but I am not very savvy with this sort of thing. thank you in advance, I greatly appreciate it.

ALSO, if some of these can only be made from PAL since some are not full US titles, then I am happy to work with that as well. even fan made retail covers of them can help if things aren't possible for some such as The Legend Of Zelda: BS
I did find Jelly Boy (not Smart Ball, btw) but the pixelation was too small:

Sky Destroyer was only released in Japan. I don't believe there are any serious Famicom collectors on the site, so the selection of covers on TCP is minimal.
Newly appointed Cover Guru Akumu made a cover for Super Turrican here: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=368.msg21274#msg21274
It no longer appears to be available, but perhaps he can reupload it if it's still in his possession. If he doesn't see this thread it may be worth sending him a PM and asking nicely.
Otherwise, Arseen has uploaded raw scans for the CGC project here: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=21248.msg193493#msg193493
While I know you aren't looking for raws, perhaps someone will make you a cover using them as the source.
For your US SNES requests please see my post here: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=22865.0
Any US game not on that list is not currently available, although some do have raw scans and are in the process of being created.
I am currently finishing up a cover for Izzy's Quest for the Olympic Rings, it will be available on the list above when it is done.
The image for Jelly Boy you linked is a PAL cover, if you are looking for the US release it is called Smart Ball.
The Legend of Zelda BS was never released in cartridge form and consisted of 4 different quests. There are a number of vertical covers available, such as a couple by monjici here: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=17496.msg154631#msg154631 but no horizontal covers that I am aware of.
nintandbox.net has a scan of Parodius here: http://www.nintandbox.net/index.php/en/nintendo-boxes-project/SuperNES-SuperFamicom/Parodius/
Perhaps someone will make you a PAL cover using this as the source.
Spiden made a US style cover for Parodius here: https://app.box.com/v/CoversGalore/file/33219234173
The color needs to be adjusted slightly to remove the off-black areas around the logos. I can do that if you'd like.
tiktektak made a PAL cover for Pop'n TwinBee here: http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=8181
If you want English on the back, Arseen has shared a scan here: http://www.mediafire.com/view/36tn86x26aua83b/Pop%20n%20Twinbee%202%20Back.jpg
Maybe someone could replace the German text for you.
maroxb just recently shared raw scans of Kid Dracula here: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=18952.msg204713#msg204713
It's very possible someone is working on a cover. rockabilly1983 makes amazing Nintendo handheld cases, but I don't know if he takes requests. It may be worth sending him a PM and asking nicely.
http://andydecarli.com has raw scans of Toonsylvania here: http://andydecarli.com/Video%20Games/Collection%20Pages/Collection%20Game%20Boy%20Color.html
I'll work on a cover for you using these scans.
I'm sorry this list is full of so many raw scans when you specifically said you weren't interested, but it's good to get all of them in one place just in case one of our members wants to use them to make you a cover. Good luck!
Arseen:
Just for the fuck of it... I ordered Sky Destroyer CIB.
Now only if I can bother to hook up my scanner...
Akumu:
I'm rebuilding the Super Turrican NES cover currently, touching it up and improving it overall.
replicant_1985:
I want to thank all of you for the time, patience and opinions on this subject of mine. I haven't had a chance to fully look into the links and knowledge you shared, but this evening I plan to make good on it all. I am excited to see what comes from all of this.
