Lot of re-drawing needed.

Yeah, I thought about doing that as well, but as you said would take a lot of work and it's the kind of work that would take a real artist to do, not a wannabe like myself. ;)
Also, let me know if you don't think you'll be able to locate your Othello box and I'll put it on my list of ones to buy. It's a pretty cheap box (even to buy the whole game complete is under $10 shipped easily) so if you think it's a lost cause don't worry about it.
Arseen:
Othello box is definitely in some safe place, problem is that it's in too safe place. ;D

That's going to be a tough one, or we just have to find a "nice" collector that is willing to scan it for us. :) Are there that many differences in the two boxes?
--- Quote from: WolfAlmighty on October 29, 2012, 03:26:49 PM ---I'd also love to track down some scans/boxes of the other toughies I need like Bomberman II, Wayne's World, Godzilla 2, Gun Nac, Bandit Kings of Ancient China, L'Empereur, Pro Sport Hockey, etc.

Oh yes, I'm in the same boat Wolf. I've been looking around for some of the tougher boxes to get scans for. I'd love to get/see scans for BomberMan 2, Gun Nac & Pro Sport Hockey!
--- Quote from: WolfAlmighty on October 29, 2012, 03:26:49 PM ---I'll see if I can persuade (i.e. pay ;D ) some NA members to scan some of their less-than-minty boxes for us.

I've tried this in the past with mixed results. Some users are more than willing, yet don't have a scanner. Others think you're using the scans for some sort of scam, or a way to somehow make money/profits or a knock-off box or reproduction. In most cases, many users I inquire with simply ignore my messages. :-\ One other issue is of course after you get them to agree to scan the box, to have them scan the box properly - at 600dpi, and have various settings on their scanner set up. I keep trying though. I think if we keep plugging away, we can definitely shorten everybody's want lists for covers!
....but ya, I'd love to see most scans for some of those "toughies" (as you put it) for the NES...
Keep up the great work!

I know we already have them, but Id love to get my hands on scans for Little Samson and Bubble Bobble 2. Been wanting to update those for better qualty and full retail covers for a while, but yeah...finding scans will be though.

Hey guys, wanted to give you an update. Like I said earlier I have another 10 or so boxes I'm going to be making covers for, but unfortunately it'll have to wait a few days because last night my computer finally gave up the ghost. As I mentioned before (where I posted the Hook cover) it had been acting up and freezing all the time and while making a cover last night it gave me a quick freeze, BSOD (which is new because usually it just froze, no BSOD), then an auto restart and it never recovered. BIOS got corrupted, couldn't reinstall from the disk (checked the mobo battery voltage and all was well), and the CPU wouldn't even respond. Did a Windows RAM check a couple days ago and it came back with no errors so that means that my mobo and/or my CPU are toast. I ordered a new combo from newegg last night and I'm hoping (though not expecting ;) ) to get it in by Friday so I can work on more covers this weekend, but just in case it doesn't happen I just wanted to let you guys know I haven't abandoned the cause!
Plus, this new combo will save me a ton of time by not losing work every time I have to reboot after a freeze. I'm kind of glad I'm no longer a PC gamer so I don't have to drop $600 on a high-end mobo/CPU bundle and instead can go with a more budget combo. So long as it lets me play Diablo 2 I'm good to go. :D
