Still taking requests?  ;D

Sure, I have the same amount of time I've always had in the mornings before work.  I don't check all of the other threads in the forum all that much (which I guess I should since not everyone knows about this thread), but what people request, I'll always do my best to fill.

Just wanted to mention that my Die Hard Arcade, Dark Savior and Legend of Oasis covers didnt pass approval. I tried my best to clean up the scans but they still didnt make it due to moire and blurryness. Id love to get those covers up on the site so if you ever have time to re-scan those 3 at 600dpi, Ill put them together again. Thanks! :)

I was out sick a few days, so I've got some catching up to do on scan/rescan requests.  I've also gotten a few private messages for scans, but if everyone could just post to the thread, I think that's much easier so I don't get duplicate requests.

Here's my current punch list:

@BadChad
Sega Saturn
Dark Savior
Die Hard Arcade
Legend of Oasis

@irvgotti452
Atari Jaguar
Hover Strike: Unconquered Lands
Raiden
Supercross 3D

You also requested a rescan of Aliens Vs Predator, though, I don't think that's going to do much good.  Of all of my Jaguar games, that got the most playtime, and checking the scans, I think that's as good as it's going to get from me.  I suggest putting out a scan request for that one to find a copy in better condition.  Also, a note, Supercross 3D is still sealed, as was a few of your previous requests.  Blame this guy :)

http://shop.ebay.com/gameliquidation/m.html?_nkw=jaguar&_sacat=0&_odkw=&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3911.c0.m270.l1313

He/She's been selling sealed Jaguar games for years, all of which I got for $4 a piece, or thereabouts.  The trick is, he/she lists them one at a time, there's never a two copies of the same game listed at once, so if someone has already bid on it, I always just waited for the next go-round and wait it out.

@MarioMania

I checked your Sega CD requests, and they all have covers posted matching the retail (not custom art).

Concerning your Sega Saturn requests, some I've already filled for others, and quite a few are already on the site with retail art.  Though, these are the titles I identified as missing (after checking the covers and raw scans) that I'll add to my queue:

Sega Saturn
Nightwarriors
Sega Ages
Street Fighter Collection

Hey, man. Just a small, tiny request, but, do you think you could scan Bug! for me? The current cover we have on the site looks like dookie. :-\

Thanks a lot, man!  ;D

I could use just the cover of nights if you have the saturn case one.
(not the big box with 3d controller version)

Also I am looking for the pal panzer dragoon cover

Done and linked.  Concerning the PAL Panzer Dragoon, I don't own any PAL Saturn games, though, I did find a scan here that may work:

Done and linked.
Thanks...

Done and linked, with comments.  Sega Ages is a Working Designs title, so everything is foil and embossed, which means, the scan is going to suck :)  The silver ended up scanning as blue, and the gold ended up scanning as a dark brown, making the text on the back nearly unreadable.  As for Street Fighter Collection, I'm getting this comment in before the calls come in for a re-scan :D  Looking at the scan, it looked pretty bad, so I pulled the game back out and looked at the original art, and, the scan is an accurate representation of what I'm seeing with my own eyes.  I'm not sure why the original art had such a moire pattern to begin with.  For those without access to the original to see what I'm talking about, I took a quick photo:



As you can see from the photo, what you are getting in my scan is what you get with the original art.  Though, I did a test print with my own scan, and it looks much better printed than on screen, so take that into consideration.

Check your PM's!  ;D

Raiden and Hover Strike are both done and linked.  I should be able to get to the sealed Supercross 3D tomorrow.

Just wanted to mention that my Die Hard Arcade, Dark Savior and Legend of Oasis covers didnt pass approval. I tried my best to clean up the scans but they still didnt make it due to moire and blurryness. Id love to get those covers up on the site so if you ever have time to re-scan those 3 at 600dpi, Ill put them together again. Thanks! :)

I'll do my best to get to these tomorrow as well.  I haven't pulled these back out yet to check the original art again, but if it's the same situation as Street Fighter Collection, I can't guarantee you'll see better results.

Also, to any forum admin, it seems with adding the links to images, my initial post has exceeded the length limit.  To make room, I deleted my N64 (for which there were no scans linked) and SNES (for which there were two scans linked) and Nuon (no scans linked).  Is there any way to insert me 3 posts below my original?  That way, I could leave my Sega CD in my original post, put Sega Saturn in the second, Dreamcast in the third, and then Jaguar, SNES, N64 and Nuon in the other.

If not possible, I'm open to ideas :)  What may be easiest is to not list my complete collections and just link out to Wikipedia or something that has a list of what titles I have available.

Also, a quick thought.  I know you mentioned your covers based on my scans were rejected due to moire, but, what are the thoughts/opinions from those doing the rejecting based on a moire guideline when what they are rejecting is actually represented in the original art (see my Street Fighter Collection photo sample)?  After all, any scan I do is already a 3rd generation reproduction, with the first being the original source files sent to the printers, the second being the print that I'm scanning, and of course, the 3rd being my scan itself.  So, my scans are always going to pick up the degradation of the original art resulting from the printing process, because, let's not kid ourselves, these things are GiclĂ©e prints :D

Thanks a lot for the Bug scan, man! It's ironic that the only Jaguar game you don't have a box for is Cybermorph... I recently bought someone's Jaguar collection, if included the boxes for about 20 games, and the only one without a box was Cybermorph. Go figure.  :D

Could it be that, because Cypermorph was only sold packed with Jaguar that the cover does not excist?  ::)

Least to my knowledge it never came in a box.

You can buy just the box from this eBay seller (Atari Sales & Service):

http://shop.ebay.com/myatari/m.html?_nkw=atari+jaguar&_sacat=0&_odkw=&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3911.c0.m270.l1313

Amongst other things (replacement white box inserts, the hologram stickers used on the front, etc).

Since my copy was the pack-in game included with my Jaguar that didn't come with a box originally, I wasn't hard pressed to try and track one down.
