Cool, it will look great when you're done.

OK, just finished this one up.

I used Lumberjack's scans as references for the front and back. I had to source the spine off eBay, since the one he provided was for the opposite side. No big deal, just needed it for the topographic lines.

Screens have been re-done via emulator; I pieced together and re-arranged when needed. Barcode is accurate. Text on the back is a copy adjusted off the scan. I couldn't find the font. If a better scan surfaces, it can be dropped right in.

I drew the topographic lines by hand with my Wacom tablet. It's really the first time I've done anything extensive with it - but I'm pleased with the results.

Enjoy, and comments welcome!

I think you did a wonderful job. Very Clean! Keep up the good work.

Great job. Thus another example of a game I now want simply for the rad cover art.

[Oobgarm]

Yeah, the game itself isn't all that great. The music is pretty good, but that's about it. Playing through to get those screenshots was a very "meh" experience.

Sorry I didn't get back on this one. I did get the box to scan but the day I did, I landed in the hospital until today.

No worries. If you get around to it, a new scan of the back would be awesome to work with the text. Health is of utmost importance, though. Get better first!

Oh don't worry I'm healthy enough to walk over and scan a box. I'll do that later today.
