I've always thought that the Japanese covers for the Shining games available on the Genesis (Shining in the Darkness, Shining Force 1, and Shining Force 2) had better art than the North American versions, and after noticing how great some of the SNES cases using Super Famicom art looked (case in point, Super Metroid), figured I would put in a request for cover art using the japanese front cover art, paired with the back descriptions/ template of the north american games.

Completion list -

Shining in the Darkness
Shining Force 1
Shining Force 2

Looks like you accidentally cut off the top of the Shining Force logo on the back and spine. The artwork on the front also looks like its hanging over the front of the red template a little bit instead of underneath.

Oh yeah, just noticed that too. The top of the II in the back logo is cut off.

Just curious, but the scans are just so people have higher quality materials to work with right?

not sure!, didnt know if we had scans available, had the scanner out anyway, decided "what the heck!, may as well scan those as well!"
its not like it took all day to scan or anything, so why not?
