Games Available to Scan (Atari Jaguar, Sega CD, Saturn, Dreamcast, Neo Geo, etc)

If you're still around, I'd kill for Silent Scope and Street Fighter III: Double Impact, please!

Done and linked.  As has been previously discussed ad nauseum, my scanner is incredibly sharp, meaning you are getting the all of the detail that a halftone print produces when incredibly zoomed in, so blur to your liking (a 1.0 gaussian blur seems to be in line with scans others are producing).

Now that you have your scans, try not to kill anything

Also, I updated the original post to include Winter Heat for Sega Saturn which I recently acquired (leaving only the Daytona USA Netlink mail in offer as the only US Saturn game I'm missing, though, it used the same inserts as Daytona USA: Championship Circuit Edition, so there wouldn't be anything new to scan).

My will to kill has subsided.

Thank you sir! This board really needs some kind of a rep system.

Could you scan the manual (just the front not all the pages) and back insert of Panzer Dragoon Saga? I have the manual but my scanner doesn't support descreen. I know the ways of removing it but it doesn't come out as good as the descreened RAWS from here.

Thank you.

Done and linked.  I included two versions, the raw scan and one with a 1.0 Gaussian Blur (which seems to be in line with the scans others are producing).

Also, I might have to take a brief hiatus on this thread while I focus on my Sega Saturn instruction scan thread (linked in my signature).

Thank you TSOLfan, VERY much appreciated! Oh and if you ever score that Saturn Bomberman back insert please post it somewhere's because I'm in the same boat as you, I have the manual & disc, but no back insert. Thanks again for the PDS scans!

[Saturn Genesis]

I know you said you're taking a break from the requests which is cool but when you get a chance could you scan (front of manual and back insert) Sega Touring Car Championship, Rampage World Tour, Rayman, Highway 2000, Gun Griffin, Dragon Force, Contra Legacy of War, Burning Rangers, Battlesport, Bust A Move 3, Steep Slope Sliders, Virtua Fighter Remix (longbox), Sky Target, Decathlete, & Blazing Dragons? I just scored all those games (disc only bummer) for $10 at my local pawn shop.

Whenever you can get around to these thank you!

It...

It's...

It's beautiful...



My single spine will no longer be blank until I've sucked it up and bought duplicate copy to swipe a back insert (and then flip to re-coup a majority of my cost).

You, sir, are fantastic.

STARCONTROL, you sir are a god, thank you, thank you so much!

Has that been retouched?..  I've never seen a scan so clean!

WOW!!!!!

[starcontrol]

Yes, it was retouched.  That particular scan came because a European collector I work with wanted a Saturn Bomberman back insert.  So I bought a sealed Bomberman game on eBay, scanned it, sent the back to Europe, and resold the game with a retouched photo quality back insert.  The ebay listing clearly identified the back insert as a reproduction.  It was a pain in the butt, but I got some good scans out of it and my European friend's collection is now U.S. complete. 

Retouching Saturn cover scans has become a hobby of mine for some reason.  My goal is to get all of them done at 300 dpi.  At this point, I have done all of the U.S. ones at one resolution or another, and some have been redone several times.  My earlier efforts weren't so good, so some of them are slated for redos when I get suitable scans.  Front covers usually take me 2-3 hours to clean up and back covers are on the order of an hour, except that I spent more time with Bomberman because I was reselling it and the game is so special.

Could I possibly get a scan of NFL Blitz 2001? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Over @ ratigators.com, I've got 7 of these done and linked, as it concerns the front and the entire manuals.  In the next few days, there will be a few more from your wish list.  I'll eventually circle back around and look at the back inserts.  Though, a few of these already have covers on the site here using the retail art (such as Burning Rangers, Bust a Move 3, and Virtua Fighter Remix).  I had originally intended this thread to be a request thread for where there wasn't yet a cover with NTSC-U retail art and scans of retail art were still needed.  So, I'll focus on the ones that aren't already up on the site in some fashion when I do these.

TSOLfan, Burning Rangers & Bust A Move 3 retail in the Saturn section here are unacceptable, they're way too low rez, blurry mess. How they even made it on this site is beyond me. Saturn master VT has already done Virtua Fighter Remix so that 1 isnt needed. Again, thanks for contributing, take your time, theres no rush

Huh, well, that's what I get for just looking at the thumbnails   As a friendly reminder, all of my scans are raw and crazy sharp (so you visibly see the negative side effects of the actual original printing process), so I leave it up to those that download anything to soften it to their liking (a 1.0 gaussian blur, or even a bit less, is on par with any descreening process).  I'm of the mindset that it's easy enough to soften/blur, much harder to go to other way.

Your scans are perfect to me, hi rez, good quality, PERFECT. Don't change a thing
