Quite possibly the most demanding request ever posted (MGS related)
Doom:
I knew it was [wayyy] different, but thought it had the same name. :(

Covers I may have problems with:
Metal Gear Solid VR Missions
Metal Gear Solid 3 Bonus DVD
Do you want me to use this custom cover for MGS VR Missions? If not, or if you want it in the vertical style seen with MGS1, I'd appreciate it if you could scan MGS VR Missions at 600dpi, it would make it much easier. There is a scanning guide in my signature. Also scanning whatever cover came with MGS3 Bonus DVD at 300dpi would make your request easier as well.
I'm planning on using these covers for MG1/MG2. IIRC NES MG2 is different than the one on MSX (and Substance disc 2), but the title is the same as far as I know.
MG1
Which spine logo do you want for MG2?
Metal Gear: Snake's Revenge
Snake's Revenge

The VR missions cover that exists is pretty good IMO, so that one works out great. I haven't had the time to get the other cover scanned yet, as I have been working this weekend. I will try to get it uploaded by tommorow night at the very latest. As for the Metal Gear 1/2 one, I would just say use the NES cover art for MG1 and just go with that with logos for titles of both one and two, which I can get a cover of the MSX version of MG2 pretty easily....well... http://www.msxarchive.nl/pub/msx/photos/gamecovers/Metal_Gear_2_Solid_Snake_-Konami-.jpg for a link. That should do well for logs.
Now to figure out my scanner...my just wait and scan that cover at work tommorow where there is a scanner that I trust to work.

Okay, I have scanned the DVD cover for the Subsistence bonus DVD, but there are some minor issues with each scan, so I uploaded three versions. I figure that you can pick the best version of it.

I'm not sure if these are up to mark, but if ya need another version of it, I'd be glad to give it another go.
Going to note here something that might be a good idea. I don't know if you have worked on this project any, but is it possible that you could invert the spine image so that it might flow with the covers better than the black version. If you have done stuff so far to get it started, don't worry about it. It was just an afterthought...
Damn, I'm lazy ain't I? Getting other people to do stuff this crazy and detailed......

Is the best as far as I can tell. Inverting it would be better. How do you want me to crop it? Take out just the watermark? Take out the watermark and the MGS2 logo?
3rdstar:
The watermark and the MGS logo. Mostly, I just want the image of Snake in the pic.
Keep note that that the cases I used to keep the cover flat are in the image (you probably saw it...).
