I took some quick photos and did a quick write up and posted it over in the Photo Gallery thread:

If you ever have any questions about restoring a historic home, let me know, my wife and I are 7 years into it (with what we estimate a year or two left to go :)

I got off work today a bit early, but getting things ready to head out of town for New Years, but I'll get to these when I get back (should be Sunday). Though, Iron Storm is one of the foil print Working Designs game, so, that may or may not turn out well, but I'll give it a try.

The back insert was designed with both vector and raster based images. In the first pressing, the print that was used had horribly low resolution raster images, to where none of the screen shots were legible, and the Photoshop comp of the game characters was also very pixellated. Back when I did print design ages ago, lower resolution raster images were used in the design phase for speed, but swapped out prior to sending it out to the printer. My guess is, someone made a mistake and forgot to do the swap. Also, between the first and second pressing, they also changed the color orange for the KapuKapus (they went from a muted orange to a near neon orange). This color swap was done on both the back and front.
I did a quick comparison scan. To note, I had these both on the scanner glass at the same time for a reason, so you could see that it wasn't the scanner re-adjusting colors or resolution.
You can view the scan here (resized to 150dpi so you don't have to do a lot of scrolling to compare):

I actually prefer the original colors

Cool little insight. I had no idea things like that would be done.
Could I now request Silver for Dreamcast? I think that'll then be it for me (no promises). Thanks! :D

Done and linked.
@BadChad
I've scanned Lagoon and linked it in the original post. Also, I posted a list of what Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 NTSC-U games I have available to scan, as well as Nuon titles (the spiritual successor to the Atari Jaguar).
@comradesnarky
I've got Silver scanned, though, have to go run some errands this morning. I'll have it up here later today.
AppleQueso:
Are those SNES games NTSC-J too? If so, I'd love a scan of the japanese version of Super Ghouls N' Ghosts. I've never liked the US art and would love to make a custom with the japanese art.
nevermind, judging from your pics of your collection they're just US releases. You can freely ignore this.
