So, I was sorting out some of my old manuals and such, and I found some really old posters, like the old Nintendo Power ones that came packed in game boxes with the original Nintendo. I started scanning them in 4 parts, and I thought maybe someone here could do the photoshop touching up where the creases where... It's a bit beyond me still, though they are in very good shape. Anyway, getting to the point, I thought it might be cool once they're done to make them available on the sight? I think they'd make sweet decor for a game room. If anyone's interested in doing the photoshop work on them though, please let me know!

I was thinking something similar the other day. I was going through some old mags and found posters that had been given away free. They were original box art pictures but blown up to A4. I was wondering if they were any use to upload as raws? There was art for Clayfighter, Robocop Vs Terminator, Rock 'N Roll Racing, Cybernator, Pop N' Twin Bee and a few others. Is it worth upping them? Would they be of use to anyone?

I ran into a bit of a snag. I assembled the 4 scans of one of the posters, and the resulting jpeg is close to 40mb! So, if anyone wants to do the touch up on it, we'll either need an admins permission to upload it into the raws section, or I'll have to cut it into 3 files and host it. Here's a thumb of the one I've got done:

Dunno if it's what you expected, but this is the pic I have. I uploaded it to the raw section.
(Make sure you get the right one, as I stupidly uploaded the preview sized pic first instead of the full size image. You need the big one)

Hey thanks a lot, but I should've specified: I'm looking for the cover for the SNES version. The Genesis version I suppose can be modifed to work, so if nobody has the SNES cover, I suppose I'll make a custom edit of the Genesis version, since the game is largely the same on both platforms.

in fairness the poster art above is much more fun for a custom than the real cover, which was a pile of........
