Title: Pocky and Rocky 2/Incantation Verticals - Have images to work with
Post by: madrocsz on December 23, 2012, 01:17:18 AM
Flat out jacked this pictures from GCW ebay listing, yep, suck it. What goes around comes around

They are not the best but surprisingly clear considering , should be able to make an easy vertical using these, with some cleanups of course.

Also, found this for incantation , again not the best but better than nothing

I think the front is bit too low res to use.

Back is OK as we only need the text.

I'll probably order the CIB copy of the game later for raws.

Got a PM from someone who bought the case and will be uploading the scan once they get it. That said, same thing I mentioned to them didnt know if anyone wanted a "get ya by" cover or at least a project lol

The better quality cover the better.

I'll anyway order CIB copy or 2 (PAL & US) later.

Greetings and happy holidays

In the spirit of the holidays I’m asking nicely that you, Open Source Community, wait until February 9th to “borrow” a copy of Pocky and Rocky II and open source it.  If you will wait until Feb. 9th I will post the raw scans here so you can make your own cover.

As you know as soon as it is posted our competitors, which are larger than us, will pick it up and sell it.  So I ask that you save off nicking it until February so I have some time to actually sell it, and I do not want the copy I made put up for free download because of the watermark.  You can make your own versions from the raw. I’m sure  you would be more satisfied with your own communities edition anyway.

Additionally, if my work isn’t nicked,  I will make sure that most of the 100 box scans we have, that are no where else on the net, will be on our site to download over the coming year.  (Takes time to get them around and posted.)    We hope to offer up some scans, posters, and YouTube videos this year and hope you appreciate that we are buying original boxes, making our own scans, our own posters and sinking our money into our business – please pick on our competitors  just kidding – don’t pick on anyone, it’s not nice. We have a lot to offer the community of game case collectors and we apologize for any mistakes that have been made to bring on hostility.  Over all we want peace this holiday season and no animosity.  We shouldn’t be that way, not at Christmas time.  (Possibly not ever).  So February 9th please.

Begging us to not scan/share. Priceless.

Yeah, how often have they promised to provide us with raws or ready covers.

For awhile they did, mostly our own covers that had been lost to the boards, but few new ones too.
But they yanked them away almost immeadly.

On the other hand if they were to provide us immeadly with all their covers that we are missing or high quality raws atleast, I'd be willing to wait til mid february before releasing them publlicly

Otherwise I think we should keep chucking along providing covers at our regular irregular pace.

OKish temporary box can be done, but as the image is 72DPI it's too low Q for permanent cover.

Game Case World spent a bunch of money to acquire a good condition box.

They're exactly as they appear, parasites that use our hard work for their own financial gain.  99% of "their" covers were created by members here. It's been discussed many, MANY times. If you want a good laugh, then search the general section for my review of their products ;)

I was just looking at their page, and noticed a link to the raws for Pocky & Rocky 2 scans (granted, it does mention 300DPI):

http://www.gamecaseworld.com/scans/raw-scans-lossless-pocky-rocky-II-300DPI.zip (http://www.gamecaseworld.com/scans/raw-scans-lossless-pocky-rocky-II-300DPI.zip)

I haven't downloaded or looked at them, as I'm at work, but figured I'd share the link, as I didn't see it above. 

I too have a (potential) line on Pokey & Rocky 2 scans, but I'm still waiting to see if they are able to scan at 600DPI.  I'll of course keep you all posted when I find out.  Been wanting to case up my P&R2 for a while now!  :)

I'll download them and check, comment soon.

And I bought CIB PAL copy from Ebay few days ago, I'll scan it when it arrive.

Scan quality very good, back bit dark but should not be problem.

Well I'll keep my promise and won't use their raw to make Vertical until mid February.
Part courtesy, part my computer sucking, part lack of time.
