If anyone has the above game box could you please can it for me, it was released under a different title in the US so im finding it especially tricky to get hold of.
I would be happy with some decent size photos of the front back and spine if you dont have access to a scanner.

Thanks  :)

Why dont you bid of a full copy and sell off your existing one? Then you could contribute a cover to the project? And you could PDF the manual for the cause as well  :D

I would've bought this game a while ago .... New Zealand like the UK is PAL ... but I sold off everything PAL and started collecting US N64 games so I have no use for another PAL game unfortunately

Yep, that is known in the US as Quest 64. Holy Magic Century sounds more like a RPG than Quest 64.

I think buying a game specifically just to scan the cover is the kind of hardcore collecting that would get me into trouble, but im more than willing to contribue the game lable and a few other rare ones ive got. It will be scanned this afternoon

edit: Holy Magic Century PAL label added

LOL .... What anger W.Ford?

I was just stating that there are a couple of complete PAL versions online and it isn't available in NTSC so the majority of the userbase on this forum couldn't make use of the game. That's all.....

If you look at the covers on the site I think you will find that probably 5 or 6 people have contibuted between them approx 80% of the N64 covers on the site. I contributed the majority of the PAL stuff here but I sold off all that for collecting NTSC.... otherwise I would've bought and contributed Holy Magic Century a long time ago.

This site only moves forward in the task of having ALL covers and artwork by people contributing. If they dont it stagnates. So we hope that new members such as yourself have something to offer... and not just leech the hell out of the site. So it's great you contributed labels etc for the cause. And don't worry .... I'm not mad/agressive or whatever .... but we just get a little tired of answering the same old "can I get this cover" type queries all the time .....

Thanks for the contributions W.Ford!  :)

One good way of finding the box without buying the game is to check out your local game stores and see if they have the box. Bring your scanner and laptop along or just ask to buy the box. NCC-2000 did this for me when I needed an Aerofighters Assualt game cartridge label. He went to his local game store and asked if he could scan the Aerofighers Assault label.

Another good bet is to keep your eyes peeled on ebay. Sometimes game stores on ebay will just sell the empty boxes for games for a couple of dollars or euros, etc.

In America, Quest 64 is a very easy game to find. Sadly, I have never seen (or had any idea about) Holy Magic Century. I have no idea if it is an easy game to find over there on the other side of the pond.

Just checked eBay Germany and eBay UK and this game seems to be semi-rare, at least boxed. Loose carts are 9 Euros ($12) or 9£ ($16), double it for a boxed game.

Maybe anger was the wrong word, Ive used alot of your N64 covers and didnt want to appear unwilling to contribute after all the hard work youve put in. Il try and get some more covers uploaded this week, im moving house so its the perfect time as I turn up old games and there boxes :)

It's not hard work ......it's a labour of love. Actually ...yeah ....it is hard work at times  ::)

My personal goal is to have a complete US collection of N64 covers and labels available on this site. To that end I and others like wshbrngr  buy boxed games off EBAY regularly to move us closer to that goal. But it all costs money .... so it will happen when it happens. We all have mortgage payments to make ... and need food on the table to keep our kids from going hungry etc etc ... some things are just more important at the end of the day.

The old-timers on the site .... Slash000, SMMM, 4tygames & others etc ... have all contributed what games/covers they have to the cause. We rely to some extent on newcomers like yourself, who stumble on the site and may have games not yet covered [ no pun intended  :D ] to hopefully scan and contribute. So I tend to view the request forum with a certain amount of annoyance at times when people take but never give ... or want someone else to buy something they need but not give anything back. It's human nature I guess ... and I'll freely admit we all do it ... but since starting this I've come to appreciate the work people put into this sort of thing. Look at Snowcone ... he's got a newborn child and still finds time to run this place. He deserve's a medal that boy ....

Oh .... I downloaded your Beetle racing cover. I'll clean it up to removes creases etc and re-upload it soon. Geez .... I hope Tiktektak didn't read this or I'm in trouble over his Japanese bomberman cover  :-\
