Title: TheCoverProject.net: Part III
Post by: UncleBob on October 03, 2009, 08:45:39 PM
I've mentioned before my love for TheCoverProject.net and the services provided there by the kind, hardworking cover guru's and such.

And a YouTube video of them, a little closer...

Now, pick apart my games asking "You don't have XXX?!?!? What's wrong with you!"

Nice collection UncleBob! You and Mop_it_up should meet up and play each others games.

Does anybody else has a collection of games for one peticular system?

Needs moar faceball.

Seriously, I had to sit there and think about what that was you had there several times.


The only thing I'm confused about is all the Game Boy game cases in the top picture.  Do you still use those at all?

The games stacked up on the top are games that haven't had covers uploaded on TheCoverProject.net yet. :(

Why do you have 13 copies of Faceball 2000? Are they not worth anything?

So are you a contributor to The Cover Project? That website came in real handy when I was compiling a list of every Nintendo 64 game released in North America which uses the Rumble Pak. All I had to do was look at the box shots and see if the Rumble Pak icon was shown on them.

Actually, I have 17 copies of FaceBall 2000.  And they're worth $Awesome.FuckYeah. :)

I don't really contribute that much to TCP.  I'm more of a mooch.  I like to give moral support to some of the cover artists there, though.  I've been around the site for so long that SnowCone (the dude who runs it) mistakenly thought I was an admin this morning. ;)

Mop_it_up needs to read the Faceball 2000 multiplayer thread.  Where's vudu when you need him?

UncleBob figured out how to play the 16 player version of Faceball 2000 a little over a year ago, I believe.  He used GBA cables to substitute for those four-player link boxes Nintendo never released (or released in limited quantities,) IIRC.  The end result was something never done before, not even by the game's developers.  Pretty amazing project he had going on there, though I might be getting the details hazy.

So he owns all of those copies just to play multiplayer? That's dedication. I believe the 4-player cables were released with a game called F1-Race or something, but few were produced. How can you get 15 GBA cables connected and working with an original Game Boy?

Also, am I to understand that you, UncleBob, use The Cober Project to print out scans of the boxes and create your own covers for games? So you don't actually have 13 complete copies of FaceBall 2000?

I know Faceball 2000 is awesome but I don't think it has any monetary value. It's a shame, that.

Maybe you should re - visit the thread, so to ensure you have the right to the details of your God.

However, I first visited the significance of this for a long time thecoverproject.net made veysports race, but I have never come across a cheap white divide in the game. We are just how to find 1 case, because I only have one game, need it.

Why do I get the feeling that there is something sinister going on in this thread?

Yeah, I love the Cover Project. I've gotten a lot of GBA covers from there. After getting Midway Arcade Treasures 2, I ran over there hoping for a PS2-sized cover for Primal Rage, but there was nothing.

Yeah, the 4-player adapter came with F1 Race. I have them. Never got to use it, though. Not enough friends with Gameboys and the same game :/
