Double Dragon II - Gameboy - North America - RAWs
DONE - Gradius: The Interstellar Assault - Gameboy - North America -RAWs -
DONE - Kid Dracula - Gameboy - North America - RAWs
DONE - Metroid II Return of Samus - Gameboy - North America - RAWs
DONE -Operation C - Gameboy - North America - RAWs

GAMEBOY COLOR
DONE - Looney Tunes Carrot Crazy - Gameboy Color - North America - RAWs

I have the covers but I can't upload anything here for some reason so here is the link to Google Drive here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=14FGti7iSJodgCCqeklqG8AFb-BSC4Kvx

You're welcome to use the covers as you see fit. I would ideally like the covers to be as close to the North America variants as possible

EDIT: I was able to snag a Double Dragon II repro box, but I won't see it until no later than May 1 (assuming things go as planned). I will post a high quality scan of the front/back as soon as I receive the repro box

Hello, welcome to the site! Thank you for the scans. You uploaded them the right way. The uploads section of the site is only for completed covers, and even then, they have to pass a strict quality check before they can be approved and uploaded.

I know a few of these should already be posted in the forums, but the more the merrier. I know I scanned and posted a raw for Kid Dracula before and someone turned it into a cover.

EDIT:
I just looked at what you uploaded. Sorry, but those aren't good enough to make covers with. We need high quality scans of at least 300 dpi of unfolded boxes, showing the sides as well. 600dpi preferred. Looks like these are just pictures you found online. Anyway, other than Double Dragon II and the US Operation C, I found the other covers:

Gradius: Interstellar Assault

Kid Dracula (made by nbart711 from my scans):

I'm surprised no one has scanned or made covers for Operation C and Double Dragon II. JakeOnAQuest, if those really are your scans, and not images found online, can you completely unfold your boxes and scan them at 600dpi with descreen turned on?

Both boxes/ games are expensive on ebay, but here's a 95 mm coaster of DDII that can probably be used to make a front cover for the game:

And a reproduction box for Operation C:

That's weird. When I get to the folder via your sig link, it goes here:
https://www.box.com/s/qmp5q4gmh5/folder/349866763

And everything is there, but blank, and can't be downloaded. But thanks though!

Marioxb I'm not gonna lie, I did grab images from the internet. I don't know about how the whole thing works here. With that said, I certainly don't have the original/repro boxes needed to do the right scans. I am surprised that there weren't any scans anywhere, nor there are even repro boxes for Double Dragon II for the Gameboy!

What can I do to help out with this situation?

Also I greatly appreciate the links to the other scans!  :D

EDIT: I looked at Metroid II case, and it's for the 3DS case. I was actually looking for a scan that would work for DS case, since I have DS cases coming in soon

GAMEBOY

Operation C - Gameboy - North America - RAWs

There's a pretty good Operation C cover on the main site. Some elements are remastered such as gameplay screenshots but I would use this for my Operation C if I still had the game.

Oh geez I didn't realize it that they have one under CANADA. That might have to do.

Thanks! Now to grab Double Dragon II

You're welcome for the Metroid 2 cover. Can't believe I missed that Operation C cover too, I swear I searched the forums and the site! Like you said, must've been the "Canada" thing. Maybe I will fool around with it and turn it into a US cover using pics of that repro box as a reference.

EDIT:
Just noticed you found a Double Dragon II repro box, that's awesome! Can't wait to see the scan! Bit of trivia, you know that GB DDII is really not a DD game, but a Kunio (River City Ransom) game? I think it works either way, since they are both from Technos anyway. Doesn't explain why they used the NES DDIII art instead of the DDII art, but whatever.

Anyway, here's my WIP for the Operation C cover:

Usable maybefor logo extration?

Thanks. That's probably what was used for the "Canadian" cover on the site, and explains why we have the retail front, but not back and spine. I might give it a try if someone more experienced with that sort of thing doesn't try first! And I know Smooth/ Shoot likes to redo screenshots. :)

New user,Just used this site to complete over 50 cases that I've had on the back burner for years. Collection looks so much better now! I'm looking for a number of Game Boy Color and original Game Boy artworks to finish the collection though!

-Mortal Kombat [the second one is on here but not the first]
-Madden 2000
-InfoGenius Personal Organizer [an odd one forsure worth a case]
-Taz-Mania
-Super Off-Road
-Battle Arena Toshinden
-Battle Unit Zeoth
-Cyraid

Any of which would be a huge help thank you in advance!!

For the Kid Dracula, how did you manage to print the cover? I had no trouble printing Gradius and Metroid II, but Kid Dracula ends up being too massive to print on a sheet of paper. How did get it a good size?

DPI seems to be screwed, solution in this case is to print at 32% scale.
