    So I'm a gameboy fan, and I was hoping to do an art project with the box art from the original gameboy. Does anyone have a good scan?
    If its not too much trouble and someone actually has it, some scans of the box art from the limited edition gameboy pockets would be awesome. Especially the ice blue version released in the USA. That one holds a special place in my heart.

    I'm not sure I understand. I'm not selling anything, I'm planning to release the stuff on a Creative Commons by-sa license.

    I mean, how much are you selling empty boxes with rare GB artwork on them for?

    You must have misunderstood me. I'm wondering if someone who owned these boxes would be willing to scan them and upload them somewhere where I could get to them so I could use the images in an art project.

    Well, your only posts are here asking for "hi-res" scans of rare GB box art. You see why people might think your selling empty boxes with the art on it?

    GOA are you smoking crack or something?!?!
    There is absolutely nothing he said that would lead any sane person to think he was trying to sell empty GB boxes.

    Anyway, sorry I can't be of any help here, as I no longer have most of my handheld collection.

    Rballaban welcome to the site.

    No not crack. Besides you never know about some people.

    I suppose.. But I doubt he's going to make his own scale printouts and paste them on stock cardboard boxes in an attempt to make a profit.


    Are there really no hi res scans anywhere on all of the internet?! I'll have a look around.

    Thanks for the welcome. Actually, the project I'm working on is a live wallpaper for Android phones.

    try cdcovers.cc I see they have a archive of GBA Advance cover art for games but don't see the original GB covers, It also can get tiring collecting them all from that site! Not sure if it's easier if you register or sign up for a premium account as I haven't tried it before.

    Also could try google image search which brings a mountain of covers to sift thur tho sizes do vary! Maybe you can figure out a google string to search by size of your preference ;-)


    Good luck!!
