Hi,
I am new to the whole collecting video game thing, but with my DVD collection I go to imdb.com or cdcovers.cc and get the box and disc art along with other information. I then put them in an access database I created along with other information such as movie synopsis, plot, rating, title, stars given, etc. etc. I then have reports that I can print that compiles all this information in a nice neat printout that I then put in a binder. That way anytime I want to watch a movie (or anyone else) I just give them the binder and they flip through it.
So my goal is to build a similar thing with my video game collection, however, I am finding it much harder to find disc and box art. Box art isn't too hard to come by, but the disc covers seem to be extremely hard to find.
I've got some from www.hqscansorg.org and some from various servers on irc, but the disc covers are few and far between. Does anyone know of a good website that has such things or am I going to have to manually scan in everything myself (ack!!). Plus a lot of things I have are loose or the games were from rented places that have stickers/marker on the disc.
Also, I see on the rarity guide they reference what magazines rated the game. They wouldn't by any chance keep their old reviews online somewhere would they?
