I have a Sega Genesis scan that I found online some time ago. It's fairly good resolution, and somewhat close to the 3DO version (at least the front).

I don't think it willl work with my template, but it would look good on Lish's AU template.

Great! Thanks for the scan, I'll see what I can do with it.

Thanks for the awesome scan VT. What do you think?  I dont pretend to have the skills of you guys, but I dont think its too bad for my first try.  Any suggestions?

It's not bad for a first try, but it would never make it threw TCP screening project. The front is not so bad, some softening would hide the slight pixelation that it has. The back and spine are more of an issue. The text shows a lot of pixelation (I personally would replace it) and the legal text is for the sega system ( once again I would replace it with more appropriate 3DO legal text). The spice: it would be best to just replace it entirely. There is too much pixelation, s[specially around the EA logo.

But like I said, Not bad for a first try. It's a lot better that some of the stuff I did when i first started making covers a couple of years ago.


EDIT: Here is what I came up with. It's not fully done yet. I'm not too happy with the screen shots used on the rear.

You can see that the entire back is fully done. I used a Mobygames scan of the rear 3DO cover as a base. Replaced the background and then I retyped tall the text. It's a bit time consuming, but the results are usually very good.

Don't give up there - as VT said - it was a great attempt at a first cover.  Take on board his tips, and have a go at another...............
