Unfortunately no.
Altough the covers is 300 DPI, raw material you used was too low quality.

figured that would be the case.... lol gamefaqs was the only place i could fine the back cover at short of ordering a custom box.

Drawing and typing -> doing the back from scratch is an option.
Apart from the screenshots the back cover is easy to do from scratch.

How shall I put it...
Did you snort cocaine while doing the cover?
It's full of white powder like residue. ;D
Again, I'd suggest doing the big blue areas from scratch.
Then make one good white star and copy/paste it around the front image.
Then use magic wand to solidify reproduction cartrige text and the big logo on the front.
Then retype the text.
Then use Google to fing new screenshots. the big one can be done from scratch.
Then copy and shrink the front image and use it on spine.
That should get you started.

lol actually thats how the real box that comes with the cart is. Ive been cleaning it up but yeah its a bit of a process. You might be right. Might be worth just doing that part over from scratch.
As to magic wand, bit more info please. (very novice here... lol)

You know when in paint you use the paintbucket, it only re-colors the areas that are exact match to the color you use it on.
Magic wand tool is a thing that lets you widen the tolerance from 0% (exact match to the color) to 100% (re-colors the the whole canvas, so no point using it on 100%)
Use use the Magic wand to choose area and Paint bucket top color it or you can also copy or deletethe area if you wish.
For example using the tool on the front images blue triangle, you can choose every light blue area and color them in one tone of light blue.
As the tool only picks areas that are touching each other (like paint bucket) you would have to use it few times to pick allareas.
Not sure does Gimp have the Magic wand tool.
If not I'd suggest you download the free Paint.net with Photoshop plug-in to use Photoshop files.
It's pretty much simplified Photoshop
