This isn't KaiserWAVE's copy as the top edge of his is missing and a 300dpi scan was available elsewhere that wasn't overcropped ...

Front

Rear

That's the problem with a lot of scanners ..... you put the cover against the edge for alignment purposes but some just don't read to the edge .... leaving you with a cropped image ..  :(

Glad you could make a cover anyway. I hope this is the only cropped image.

This cover was on another site so I just used that. Your's are perfectly fine for the most part anyway ... dont sweat it.

Hey ... when you get your own scanner in the new year we may be able to revisit the one or two mainly front covers that are cropped a little ....  :)

Sure, anything that helps! And I'm sure there will be some more raw scans coming along then :)

Sweet as ... ;D

Scanning tip .... dont put covers on edge of scanner as I'm happy to crop and align the pics when creating covers anyway. Then we dont lose anything. Don't worry ... you ain't the only one. Nate1749 did it with offroad challenge for n64  :)

Oh, so you can align the pictures in "post-production"? I wasn't aware of that, but I'll keep that in mind. I was pretty nervous to get the best results with my superficial knowledge so I thought: the closer to the edge the better ;)

No worries.

I have the same issue with my scanner so if I want it as close to straight as possible without losing anything I put a ruler down against the edge and the place the cover against that. Results ..... straight image with no loss.  :)

Brilliantly simple, simply brilliant :)

Thanks for the tips.
