Hello. I was going to recreate the US GB Operation C cover using the "Canadian" cover on the site, which is really just a custom using the US front and a back made from an advertisement, but now I've decided to start from scratch.

Haha, yeah but I really didn't use the quotes incorrectly. It's not a Canadian cover, it's simply a hybrid custom cover (heck the back has the newest Konami logo and the front Ultra Games) using the American front and a totally made up back, using a scan of this ad (also incorrectly labeled as a European ad: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/17222# ).

Unfortunatly the front cover of the canadian version on the site is also custom. The US retail versions looked a little different.

(custom on the left, retail on the right)



My guess is, they took the artwork from the manual, which looks similar:

Well darn, didn't catch that. Arseen found the pic online it most likely came from. In that case, I guess I'll order the reproduction box I found online and scan that. Thanks for catching that!

I think, it is the other way around. The image Arseen found on tumblr was cut out from the canadian cover here on the site. On the left side you can still see a thin line from the spine.

Anyway, I used a picture from this Ebay offer to create a front cover. Of course it is not the very best quality, but quite usable I might say. :)
