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!!

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:

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.
