UncleBob's Thread. Child's Play Total -$25 donated for TCP- shenske, read here!

[UncleBob]

Okay, thanks to the fine, fine folks here, I managed to get covers for my Virtual Boy games and Game Boy Advance games along with most of my Game Boy and Game Boy Color games.

Here's what I've got left that I need...
Here's a list of Game Boy/Game Boy Color games that I don't have covers for.  Just in case someone's working on a group.


Game Boy:
The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle & Friends
Altered Space
Batman: The Animated Series
Battle Unit Zeoth
Brainbender
Dr. Franken
Frommer's Travel Guide
Krusty's Fun House
Kwirk
The New Chessmaster
Pyramids of Ra
Quarth x2
Yoshi's Cookie

Game Boy Color:
Catwoman
Back - front: Scan provided by me
Trouballs
Back-Front: Scan provided by me

So, all together I need 21 covers for 23 games.  RAW scans have already been provided for 4 games and material for an additional 3 of the titles are already available in some form.

So, anywhoo, I'd really, really like to get covers for these last couple of titles.  I was considering offering a per-cover bounty via Pay Pal, but A.) I'm not sure that'd be fair to the other cover artists who's 100+ Covers I've printed off and B.) I'm far too cheap to pay off all of those artists.   So, alternatively, I was considering donating something toward the funding of this site.  However, after running the idea by SnowCone, I think the better plan would be to collect the bounties and donate the money directly to Child's Play (that awesome charity ran by Penny Arcade).

So, whadda y'all think?  What's a fair bounty to get y'all on the ball to help me finish my collection?

The Ducktales scans and the Trouballs scans are kind of blurry, do you mind rescanning them?

Also, it looks like the War Monster images you uploaded to the site were removed, can you reupload them?

I can tackle some of these if you plan on donating to Child's Play. I dont have a lot of time so it would just be every once a while and a lot of them would be customs using art from the games from other systems.  Is that ok?

[UncleBob]

At this point, I don't really expect to get the retail covers.  Maybe I'll get lucky, but I doubt it. Customs would be fine.  As for a time frame, I can't be too picky, can I? 

What do you think would be a fair donation to Child's Play for completed cover?

As for War Monster - I see that one of the images is still floating around - http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/raw/Nintendo%20-%20GameBoy/WickedWitch%20Games.custom.raw_gbc_warmonster_2.jpg

I archived my older e-mails, so I'll have to dig around and see if I can find the other full image.  Stupid PhotoBucket and their stupid size limits.

Ducktails and Trouballs - I had also previously uploaded Trouballs scans via Gamescanner (and was told this site was okay)...  Would these be of okay quality? back - front  I can try rescanning the two, but as we've discovered here, my cheap ass scanner sucks.

Thanks tons.

Those box links are wanting me to log in... do I need to create an account, or did you link me to something in your account?

[UncleBob]

That link says "The folder you are trying to access has been deleted".  So are the first links now that I've logged in... The two links in your signature seem to work though... ?

Got 'em!  Gonna go with the black one to match my other covers, but grabbed both, just in case.
Also, gonna send it to the guy at WWGames so he can see your awesome work (with a link to this thread!)  Thanks!

[UncleBob]

Okay, to start off with a bang and since War Monster was an odd request that I'm sure to be the only one to ever want, I'm throwing $5 in my Child's Play Fund.

I have 20 other covers needed.  I'll plan on adding $1 for each cover that's finished and uploaded.

As a bonus, all covers that are uploaded by the end of the year, I'll double the amount being donated.  So, if all 21 covers are uploaded by the end of the year, that'll be $50 I'll donate to CP.  This is in addition to the (admittedly meager, hey, I work at Walmart after all!) amount I normally donate.

I know $1/$2 isn't much and $50 barely buys a game, but I am cheap and poor after all.  If anyone else is looking for any of the covers I've asked for in this thread, feel free to add to the total bounty for that cover.

well - i don't need any of the covers, and had never heard of childs play - but just had a look and thought it was such a great charity have donated $20 US.  Every little helps as they say! (I donated to the Auckland NZ hospital, as the UK one seemed to have just an out of date Amazon wish list)

Whoo!  Extra $20 for Child's Play.  It's a great cause.

[UncleBob]

Whoo!
