Not sure if this is the right place for requests (honestly, I read the FAQ!).  I tried following the link to that "wiki" page (like the 'sticky' referred to), but I couldn't figure out how to put up a request(s).  

Hopefully I don't get my hand slapped for posting my requests on here.  Sorry in advance if this is the wrong area, please feel free to move this message to the appropriate place, or let me know where the proper place to do it is.

Here are a list of the games covers I'm looking for.  In most cases, I tried to at least find some graphics online for the cover art (I no longer have any of the original boxes), or something to (potentially?) help out.  I realize some of the attached pictures aren't "300 dpi" quality, but I figure some help is better than none?  I had hoped to find graphics that were the best quality, but came up short for some of the scans.

I should mention that all my games are north american, so I wouldn't be looking for any PAL versions, and I plan on using them in the UGC cases.  Thanks so much in advance for anybody that can help.  If there is anything more I (personally) can do to help, please let me know.

Thanks again! :)

(In some cases, I came across muliple images, so I added links to both)

PS:  Just looking online, seems like some sites are decent for box scans (just for reference)
One good one I found is http://www.vgmuseum.com/
or more specifically: (For NES) http://www.vgmuseum.com/scans/nes.html
(For SNES) http://www.vgmuseum.com/scans/snes.html

You guys probably already know about those sites though.. Just trying to help any way I can.

Thanks again everybody.

Thanks. Those scans are better than the ones found.  One thing I noticed while looking through those were that the front and back scans for Quattro Sports were mis-labeled.  The file that's labeled as the front, is actually a scan of the back, and vise-versa.

Thanks.  Anybody that can assist, I woud be grateful for.  Especially "Tecmo Super Bowl"(NES - US).  I was surprised not to see a cover for that one, as it's one of my favorite games.

Keep up the good work everybody.

It seems that I made teeny tiny mistake DEAL WITH IT AND DON'T COMPLAIN!!!  >:(
I assume that the artist here can tell the difference and make correct looking cover. YOU . . . YOU . . . Pumpernikkeli!!!

Just kidding  ;)  ;D
We have here habbit of no reason out bursts of fury.
Anyway, I was scanning lot of covers at once while being tired. I did notice the mistake after uploading but didn't bother to re-upload them as it was such minor mistake.

Here's scans for Super Glove Ball

Awhile ago I scanned The Fantatic Adventures of Dizzy for Arseen, then noticed he had already uploaded them. I now see the one I scanned (the first of the 3 links) is different from the one he scanned (the second link). So here it is.

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.  Sorry if my last comment about the scans came off as ungreatful, or that I was 'nit-picking'.  That wasn't my intention at all.  I'm not complaining, I swear! :)

I appreciate your guys' efforts.  I ordered some UGC cases yesterday, so I'm stoked to get those in the mail and start organizing these games!

Arseen was just kidding, so probably no harm done.  8)

He has very high tolerance for d*ckness.

Ya, I've already started noticing that. :)  Thankfully most of my collection is complete, or at least I have most of the games I want.  I'm just sick and tired of storing all the game in plastic bags.  These UGC's will work wonders!

I sit about 10 feet away from a sweet colour laser printer here at work, so I'll be sure to utilize that.  ;) 

Also, I'm going to have to download those templates and take a stab at creating some covers of my own.  I'm not sure how difficult it will be, but with the templates, and all the raw scans that are on this site, I can't imagine it's too difficult.  Mainly just time consuming I'd guess. 

Do you guys just sort of cut and paste pieces of the raw scans and put them into the template?  I appologize if there is a tutorial about this already.  As I stated before, I'm new here (on the forum), but I'm stoked to get the games in proper cases.  Those UGC's can't come soon enough! :)

Sort of kind of for SNES.
 
Pretty much always raws need heavy cleaning first.
 
To my knowledge no tutorial excists
 
NES needs more work as there is not universally used template (WHICH THERE COULD / SHOULD BE!!! Maybe for the spine at least) and thus also the back has to be done more than for vertical SNES covers

N64 takes more work too, as first you must fin good quality image for the back and then golden yellow it.

So by "cleaning" you mean editing it heavily in photoshop or some sort of photo editing software I assume? 

I'd like to try a go with it, but after seeing the end results of what you folks have done, I'm not sure I'll even come close! :) 

I'll try when I have some free time, but if you guys come across better scans of any of my requests up there (better than the crappy links I posted), let me know.  I'll try to help as best I can!

Thanks, and keep up the great work guys.  You're hard work hasn't gone un-noticed (at least by me!).

Oh Arseen, you dont like people making fun of your dyslexia do you?  I am curious about your love life and how your partner feels about your "problem" =D

Oh, and maybe if you didnt have soo many damn cases to scan, you would find more time to CORRECTLY LABEL THEM.  Geez, Arseen, gosh.. thats like... completely unacceptable!   ::)

I did check the scans.  Thanks.  That's a good base for a least the Comerica games I listed.  Still would like to get some good scans for Tecmo Super Bowl (NES - US version).  Again, I'm surprised nobody else has requested that one, one of my favorite all time NES games!

I'll keep you guys posted on how I make out, although I might try my hand at one of those SNES ones first, as there are templates available.
