| Doom:
From the PM crypt today: Hello there. Someone introduced me to your site a few weeks back and since then, not only have I downloaded a handful of covers, but I've also added to my game collection simply because you had the replacement covers. w00t! Anyway, I would like to help out. I am in no way a cover artist, but I do have a decent collection of games and I would say I have 95% of the original cover art for them. I have compared my list of DS games against the covers you have listed for the DS and here is what I can offer: DS - 01 - Army Men: Soldiers of Misfortune 02 - Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles 03 - Assassin's Creed II: Discovery 04 - Bionicle Heroes 05 - Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled 06 - Bolt 07 - C.O.P. The Recruit 08 - C.O.R.E. 09 - Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare 10 - Call of Duty Modern Warfare Mobilized 11 - Call of Duty World at War 12 - Castlevania Order of Ecclesia 13 - Contact 14 - Death Jr and the Science Fair of Doom 15 - Dementium 2 16 - Dragon Quest Heroes Rocket Slime 17 - Dragon Quest IV Chapters of the Chosen 18 - Dragon Quest V Hand of the Heavenly Bride 19 - Dragon Quest Monsters joker 20 - Eragon 21 - Etrain Odyssey 22 - Etrain Odyssey II Heroes of Lagaard 23 - Fighting Fantasy The Warlock of Firetop Mountain 24 - Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Ring of Fates 25 - Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Echoes of Time 26 - Final fantasy Tactics A2 27 - From the Abyss 28 - G-Force 29 - Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars 30 - Grid 31 - IL2 Sturmovik Birds of Prey 32 - Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings 33 - Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days 34 - Legacy of Ys Books I and II 35 - LEGO Batman 36 - LEGO Indiana JonesThe Original Adventures 37 - LEGO Indiana Jones 2 The Adventure Continues 38 - LEGO Rockband 39 - LEGO Star Wars The Complete Saga 40 - LEGO Star Wars The Complete Trilogy 41 - Looney Tunes Duck Amuck 42 - Mazes of Fate DS 43 - Metal Slug 7 44 - Mini Ninjas 45 - Moon 46 - Mushroom Men RIse of the Fungi 47 - N+ 48 - Need for Speed Underground 49 - Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword 50 - Nintendo DS Lite Browser 51 - Nostalia 52 - Over the Hedge 53 - Overlord Minions 54 - Picross DS 55 - Prince of Persia The Fallen King 56 - Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing 57 - Sonic Classic Collection 58 - Speed Racer 59 - Star Fox Command 60 - Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Jedi Alliance 61 - Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes 62 - Suikoden Tierkreis 63 - System Flaw 64 - Time Ace 65 - Tomb Raider Legend 66 - Trackmania 67 - Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Autobots 68 - Twilight Scene it? 69 - Up 70 - Wario: Master of Disguise * I have these three as well. I forgot to put them into the numbered list because they were set aside to be traded back in and frankly, it is too much work to incorporate them into the list and renumber, lol. Spyro Shadow Legacy The Legend of SPyro A New Beginning The Legend of Spyro Dawn of the Dragon So, I started to make this a topic, but being a newb, I wasn't sure about the appropriateness of such a topic or where to even post it. I have read your scaning guide and I think I have all of the info I need, but I guess I was just looking for a green light to get started on this. ALso, I do have other games, I just began with my DS collection. If you are interested, here is my backloggery, with the rest of my games, of course: http://www.backloggery.com/obishawn So... green light? Thanks man, I'm looking forward to contributing to this site. As a game collector, I'm in full favor of its purpose. "obi" shawn |

Another Metroid Metal fan? I approve. Good collection overall. I see we have some similar tastes. Metroid, survival horror, and Star Wars Jedi Power battles was my favorite game as a kid (although I don't know how it holds up today :P ). Also, WHO TOLD YOU SILENT HILL 2 WAS BAD? SLAP SOME SENSE INTO THAT PERSON. (And pick up some of the classic Resident Evil games too!) |

Thanks Doom. I would have guessed wrong and posted this in the Request Forum. Metroid Metal, heck yeah! I love it. Would it be a fair assumption, z0mbiew0lf, to say you favor Sony? I say that based on your favorable mention of games. Jedi Power Battles was an amazing game. I know i have it and could play it anytime, but I would love for them to put in on the PSN so I could play it on my PSP. As for the RE series, I have them all on the GameCube, does that count? Ok, back on topic, when I made that PM to Doom, I didn't have a scanner and my plan was to run down to Kinko's. Well, today, I picked up a scanner that has up to 1200 dpi, so I can get started almost immediately. I'm going to scan everything I have, so what I scan first is really no longer important. I'm one of the few people that never has had a complaint against GameStop, but I finally do now. I found Etrian Odyssey 1 and 2, with covers and booklets in perfect condition, the only problem is that some fool at GameStop put a "used" sticker on the actual cover for both games. I've been fortunate enough to remove most of the stickers without damaging the covers, but there is still a bit of glue residue. I'm diping my finger in water, then after drying it off a bit, wiping the residue away. Its kind of working for the most part but not as effectively as I had hoped it would. Does anyone here have a better suggestion? Also, when I save the scanned image, what is the prefered format? When you save an image as a .jpeg, there is a little bit of color saturation. Would a .png be better? |

Oh hah I forgot RE made its way onto the Gamecube. Definitely grew up a Playstation child here, forgot to even look at the GC section other than for Metroid :P As for Gamestop stickers, find a hair dryer or something and just warm the sticker up. Usually comes off cleanly after that. Also our covers are all uploaded in .jpeg format. You can always try touching up your scans afterwards ;) |

On gamecube, Resident Evil Zero isn't too special, though it's notable for being the last "classic" RE. The remake of the first game, however, is amazing. Possibly the best game in the entire series. |
