The Cover Project

Okay, thanks to the fine, fine folks here, I managed to get covers for my Virtual Boy games and Game Boy Advance games along with most of my Game Boy and Game Boy Color games.
Here's what I've got left that I need...
Here's a list of Game Boy/Game Boy Color games that I don't have covers for. Just in case someone's working on a group. :)
Game Boy:
The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle & Friends
Altered Space
Batman: The Animated Series
Battle Unit Zeoth
Brainbender
Dr. Franken
Frommer's Travel Guide
Krusty's Fun House
Kwirk
The New Chessmaster
Pyramids of Ra
Quarth x2
Yoshi's Cookie
Game Boy Color:
Catwoman

Trouballs
Back (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/raw/Nintendo%20-%20GameBoy/UncleBob.retail.raw_gbc_trouballsback.jpg)-Front (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/raw/Nintendo%20-%20GameBoy/UncleBob.retail.raw_gbc_trouballsfront.jpg): Scan provided by me
So, all together I need 21 covers for 23 games. RAW scans have already been provided for 4 games and material for an additional 3 of the titles are already available in some form.
So, anywhoo, I'd really, really like to get covers for these last couple of titles. I was considering offering a per-cover bounty via Pay Pal, but A.) I'm not sure that'd be fair to the other cover artists who's 100+ Covers I've printed off and B.) I'm far too cheap to pay off all of those artists. ;) So, alternatively, I was considering donating something toward the funding of this site. However, after running the idea by SnowCone, I think the better plan would be to collect the bounties and donate the money directly to Child's Play (that awesome charity ran by Penny Arcade).
So, whadda y'all think? What's a fair bounty to get y'all on the ball to help me finish my collection?
-
The Ducktales scans and the Trouballs scans are kind of blurry, do you mind rescanning them?
Also, it looks like the War Monster images you uploaded to the site were removed, can you reupload them?

I can tackle some of these if you plan on donating to Child's Play. I dont have a lot of time so it would just be every once a while and a lot of them would be customs using art from the games from other systems. Is that ok?
-
At this point, I don't really expect to get the retail covers. Maybe I'll get lucky, but I doubt it. Customs would be fine. As for a time frame, I can't be too picky, can I? ;)
What do you think would be a fair donation to Child's Play for completed cover?
As for War Monster - I see that one of the images is still floating around - http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/raw/Nintendo%20-%20GameBoy/WickedWitch%20Games.custom.raw_gbc_warmonster_2.jpg
I archived my older e-mails, so I'll have to dig around and see if I can find the other full image. Stupid PhotoBucket and their stupid size limits.
Ducktails and Trouballs - I had also previously uploaded Trouballs scans via Gamescanner (and was told this site was okay)... Would these be of okay quality? back (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/raw/Nintendo%20-%20GameBoy/www.gamescanner.org.retail.raw_gbc_trouballs_back.jpg) - front (http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/raw/Nintendo%20-%20GameBoy/www.gamescanner.org.retail.raw_gbc_trouballs_front.jpg) I can try rescanning the two, but as we've discovered here, my cheap ass scanner sucks. :(
Thanks tons. :)

War Monster

Rear text is copied directly from the website you linked.
Its simple but the text and pictures should work for the cover.

OMG!!! That is *SO* Wonderful!
I *love* it.
Do want!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. :)
-
Those box links are wanting me to log in... do I need to create an account, or did you link me to something in your account?
-
That link says "The folder you are trying to access has been deleted". So are the first links now that I've logged in... The two links in your signature seem to work though... ?

Got 'em! Gonna go with the black one to match my other covers, but grabbed both, just in case. :)
Also, gonna send it to the guy at WWGames so he can see your awesome work (with a link to this thread!) Thanks!
-
Okay, to start off with a bang and since War Monster was an odd request that I'm sure to be the only one to ever want, I'm throwing $5 in my Child's Play Fund.
I have 20 other covers needed. I'll plan on adding $1 for each cover that's finished and uploaded.
As a bonus, all covers that are uploaded by the end of the year, I'll double the amount being donated. So, if all 21 covers are uploaded by the end of the year, that'll be $50 I'll donate to CP. This is in addition to the (admittedly meager, hey, I work at Walmart after all!) amount I normally donate.
I know $1/$2 isn't much and $50 barely buys a game, but I am cheap and poor after all. If anyone else is looking for any of the covers I've asked for in this thread, feel free to add to the total bounty for that cover.
-
well - i don't need any of the covers, and had never heard of childs play - but just had a look and thought it was such a great charity have donated $20 US. Every little helps as they say! (I donated to the Auckland NZ hospital, as the UK one seemed to have just an out of date Amazon wish list)

Whoo! Extra $20 for Child's Play. It's a great cause.

Looks really good!!

Damn dude, what paper/printer do you use for those covers? They look very professional ;D

I have my covers printed at Staples (http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=2689.0)
-
Hm, I did mine at the library and they came out similar to the way yours did. Must've screwed up the dimensions by a bit. (other than the horrible cutting job lol)

If anyone's curious, here's the goal I'm working toward: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=2692.0

Duck Tales
(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t289/Grumbleduke/DTGB.jpg)
Possibly one off of your list Uncle B...if you dig it that is. The scans are a touch blurry which makes no difference to the back as thats a rebuild. I ran the front through some sharpness filters and merged it with an E.U version i found but even that had some blurring around Scrooge so it never completely went away. Did a custom front with the NES scan i used for an E.U version of that game but then got to thinking it may not be relevent, having the nephews etc on the front and my not knowing if they feature in the Game Boy version. Here it is anyway...
(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t289/Grumbleduke/DTGB2.jpg)
-
They both look great - I'll probably take the "official" one, though. The blurry isn't that noticeable... :)
Thanks tons!
I'm gonna have to order more cases... again...
-
Okay, snagged the DuckTales cover - whoo-ooo!
Added the $1+$1 to the total.
Doubled the $5 for War Monster, as I said I'd double the amount for all covers uploaded before the end of the year. Forgot to do that the first time. :)
So, we're up to $12 out of a potential $50.
-
If you want to take a custom Unc, i could probably knock up one for Krusty's Funhouse from the MD version i have.
-
Customs are fine. I'd rather have the "original", but, as I said before, I don't think that's going to happen at this point... :(
-
My new batch of DS cases came in. Ready for more covers (and to finally print out the DS Download Station covers... I've been forgetting to do that...)

Heh. Didn't I make those for you?
-
Yup. Not sure why I never remembered to print them out. I see they've been downloaded quite a few times though, so it wasn't a complete waste. ;)
-
Hey Unc. Just looked into doing that Krusty,s Fun House but i cant find a shot of the U.S version back thats readable enough to get the legals from. Don't suppose you (or anyone else for that matter) has seen one anywhere? :)
-
I would love to do the Killer Instinct cover, however I'm having some trouble finding a high res or even descent Killer Instinct art. If anyone would be able to provide me with anything remotely decent I would be able to whip up a cover. Thanks guys, this is one I would want to do for my own collection as well.

You work at Gamestop or something? I'd love to get my hand on all those carts like the Pokemon special gifts and other distribution carts just for the fun of it.

I've got nothing - but I can see what I can find next time I have the time...

How "remote"? Moby Games has a decent scan of the front/back...

eBay. :)
-
A bit of a bump, as a reminder, I'm doubling the bounty for any covers submitted before the end of the year. You've got a little over a month left. :)
-
I've seen the Moby scans before, I'm sure they're not high res enough, but I'll take a stab at it this weekend. I'll have it posted by Monday (U.S. - Arizona time)
Some of my past work...

alright guys, here is the Killer Instinct Custom cover. I made a silver and black label. Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions. I copied the back from the example scan on Moby Games (http://foxyurl.com/LXE)
I had to make a custom front simply because of the lack of original box scans.
Again please let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions or comments just let me know.

*edit: sorry about the small pictures, media fire is not co-operating and it's about 5:30 in the morning, I'm running on about 2 hours of sleep, and have to be at work in 2 hours.

Grabbed it - thanks man.
Anyone else wanna get in on the action? :)

The year is almost over - If you're working on a cover or planning to, now is the time to do it!

Sweet! Now if the cover upload process gets fixed so I can snag it. :)
Total updated. :)

Pac-Man - Special Color Edition

This one required a lot of custom work, I couldn't find any back scans for this game. Care to update your total again UncleBob?
-

Actually, it's worth getting twice - and not for Pac Attack.
This version of Pac-Man has a little-known secret... it features the first Multi-Player Pac-Man.
Using a link cable, two copies of the game and two GameBoys, You each play Pac-Man as normal on your own screen. Except - when you eat a ghost, it goes over to the other player's screen. Meaning, one player could have eight ghosts on the screen at a time.
It's pretty darn fun. :)
Thanks shenske - total updated. :)
-
Hey shenske - mind uploading those Pac/Ms Pac covers to your box.net account so I can snag 'em and print 'em? :)
Thanks!
