GB/GBC/GBA - multiple cover requests (updated 4/19)

[noiseredux]

Retail, custom, raw scans, whatever. I'd even settle for other regions beside US if that's all you've got. Anything would help me out!


Game Boy:


Bonk's Adventure
Bubble Ghost
Contra: The Alien Wars
Ghostbusters II
NBA Jam
Nintendo World Cup
Robocop
Samurai Shodown
Spiderman 2
Urban Strike
Vegas Stakes

Game Boy Advance:

Adventure Island (Famicom Mini Series)
NBA Jam 2002

Game Boy Color:

Moon Patrol/Spy Hunter
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire: 2nd Edition

if it will motivate anybody to help me out, the front and back artwork for some of these has been scanned here:

moby doesnt have high enough resolution scans

Killer Instinct is one of the covers I've offered a bounty for...

Perhaps you would like to chip in to up the ante for the addition of this cover?

maybe that's true, but I'd rather have a low-resolution cover until somebody can replace it with a high-res cover than to have no cover at all.

I've seen the Moby scans before, I'm sure they're not high res enough, but I'll take a stab at it this weekend.  I'll have it posted by Monday (U.S. - Arizona time)

Some of my past work...

A trick I have done is make a placeholder cover is scan the game cartridge, make that the front image, crop the title of the game from the scan and rotate it to make it the spine, and then get an image of the hand held off the internet for the back cover (have done it with GB-GBC-GBA-WS-and NeoGeo). 90 percent of the time it looks bad, but is only temporary.

[Strong and Nerdy (formerly tmntfreak7)]

alright guys, here is the Killer Instinct Custom cover.  I made a silver and black label.  Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions.  I copied the back from the example scan on Moby Games (http://foxyurl.com/LXE)

I had to make a custom front simply because of the lack of original box scans.

Again please let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions or comments just let me know.

*edit:  sorry about the small pictures, media fire is not co-operating and it's about 5:30 in the morning, I'm running on about 2 hours of sleep, and have to be at work in 2 hours.

thanks man, looks really good. I appreciate the work! Out of curiosity, how come you didn't want to use the front cover from mobygames?

Just curious. Thanks again!

[Strong and Nerdy (formerly tmntfreak7)]

because it's not a high enough resolution.  I just checked it the image and it is at 300 dpi, however the image itself is only  about 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 inches.  To make it fit to our template size I would have to blow it up about 250 - 300% and it would look pixelated.

If someone really wants me to, I'll be more than happy to throw the moby cover on there and upload it.

I just personally would rather have custom and high quality then original low quality.

[noiseredux]

if it's not too much work, that would be awesome. If it is too much work, I understand. I'd rather have the original cover, but I'd be happy with the custom cover if it means I have a cover. Thanks again for yr work!

[Strong and Nerdy (formerly tmntfreak7)]

it's no problem at all, it'll take 5 minutes or so.  I'm at work and don't have the .PSD but I'll post it for you as soon as I get home.

It won't be as clear as the custom cover, but I'm sure it'll do.


Another reason I did the custom was for another post going on right now...

[noiseredux]

cool, thanks man. Do you plan on trying to do covers for any of the other requests I made in my first post? Like I said, most of them have scans at mobygames? Thanks!

[Strong and Nerdy (formerly tmntfreak7)]

Honestly, I probably wont time with work and school and finals going on.

Do you prefer originals even if they are lower quality?  Or would you rather have higher quality custom covers?
