Localized Mega Drive/Genesis and Reproduction Covers

Shouldn't the title be changed to Puzzle Bobble for the Japanese megadrive? Also, shouldn't the text be Uh .... In Japanese?

Afaik Bubble Bobble was the same all around the world.

The difference you mean could be

Puzzle Bobble = JP
Bust-A-Move = EU/US

Yeah, this is true. Puzzle Bobble is a puzzle game, Bubble Bobble is not.

[shenske]

Thats my mistake. When i looked at the game i saw the little dino characters and thought of bust-a-move, i should have taken more than a quick glance

Here's Smart Mouse.  I'm not entirely sure if this runs on real hardware without doing anything funky to the rom.  I know Bubble Bobble is having some issues that I'm trying to get around, either way, here's the cover.  If anyone wants to try running this on their flash cart and let me know if it works or not, I'd appreciate it.

By request, J MD style cover.  Obviously the text is in English so it's not a completely Japanese version, just uses the style template.

I thought this would be the best place to ask for 32X Reproduction Covers. 
This is a bit of a long shot but I thought I would ask if any one has a cover for Virtua Hamster or X Men.

Even if some one had a lable for them I would appreciate it.

[djshok]

Yeah I'd love to get my hands on that Virtua Hamster or X-Men artwork.  I've never been able to find anything even remotely hi res enough to use for printing.  There is a guy on ebay that's selling repros of those 2 that seems to have found really high quality images somewhere:

I think he might have gotten the artwork from a former Sega employee or something along those lines, because I've NEVER seen anything that good quality anywhere on the net. Would love to get my hands it though.

Did you try asking the sell for scans???

[BadChad]

Something tells me the seller probably wouldnt be willing to scan it anyway. But its worth a shot I guess.

[djshok]

Yeah no answer from the seller. I don't expect one, he stands to make some decent cash off those repros, I doubt he's willing to share.  

Anyway, here's Battle Mania!!!!

The scan for this really wasnt' the best quality, but I did my best with what's there, at least now we have a cover for this masterpiece of gaming and gaming fan translation.  Plus who knows, maybe one day I'll get a better scan or some sexy fan art.

Looks good djshok. Think you could do the alternate title Trouble Shooter Vintage? Dont have this one yet but its on my "To-Buy" list

Sure.  What exactly did you have in mind.  Just "Trouble Shooter Vintage" in the title?  Or would you like anything else in there, like Battle Mania 2 in the subtext, or anything.

[BadChad]

Just Trouble Shooter Vintage should be good. But it would be cool if the logo was the same style as the first Trouble Shooter.

EDIT: Oh and if you wouldnt mind changing the product code to the original T-23043!

[irvgotti452]

I could vector it? I can make it in no time. Also do you want a hi rez vic tokai logo?
