I have my covers printed at Staples

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)

Duck Tales



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...

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...)

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...
