Title: old console game cover/ box art
Post by: muell67 on June 27, 2006, 06:59:47 pm
Is there a website where I can download old console boxes or covers?
I would like to use them in my emulators instead of screenshots. I can find them individually in google but it would be nice if there was a website.

I always find pretty much everything I want at www.cdcovers.cc
I'm not sure which consoles you're looking for, but the website does have covers for
PS1 and Dreamcast games.

Try here too:

http://xbox.nugnugnug.com

There are several sets of gameplay shots, title shots, box covers and cart scans. (not all systems yet, but a good collection)

They're in xbox format (42 character filenames) but there are also converters to put things back into standard naming conventions.

I checked out the Intellivision art on that site and they were from my old site! I made the screen shots and he stole them! And he didn't take the box art. (I don't care...I am just saying. It is kinda cool that all my hard work is still being used. Although, it did get a semi bad rating...)

I have box art for ALMOST all games. Some of them I have 2 or 3 different versions. Like different languages. If you would like those, let me know. I know most people don't play Intellivision on xbox or anywhere else unless they have the original controllers but...

Man, that Intellivison Baseball brings back some memories.  The kid next door and I played that just about every summer vacation day back in the early 80's.  I can still hear that computerized crowd cheer after hitting a homerun.

Were you involved with the Screenshot Archive?

AFAIK, that's where most of the screenshots were taken from.

I'm the host of xbox.nugnugnug.com, although not the content generator/collector. 
I've got a link on the site to the current home of screenshotarchive.com and I credit that page as the source and inspiration to the xbox specific content we provide.

If screenshotarchive got your work without you knowing it, then there's another layer of borrowing that you might not know about.

So however we ended up with your work, let me publicly say Thank You!  :cheers: for your efforts!  You've saved many people countless hours of slogging through ROMs, and I would *love* to have a set of the box covers too.

You could even create an account there and upload them, then credit will be tied to you for the remainder of the site's lifetime...

I have an 11 meg file that has my entire Intellivision Graffiti website as it was after my last update on July 30th, 2000. It has all screen shots that I took (they look just like the ones on that site  ;) ) and overlays and box art. If you want it, let me know.
