Dang! Now that's an awesome outcome! :D I can't wait to get the scan, my friend!

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.

Holy crap, how cool is that!! I just bought 20 of those hologram stickers from that guy. I'm gonna put them in the proper place on all the UGC Jaguar covers I print out! ;D Thanks for the recommendation, man!

EDIT: Dang, I shouldn't have started thinking about my Jaguar collection. You guys just made me buy a NIB Tempest 2000 with the Soundtrack included. Oh, how I hate eBay.... :-X

Thanks for the scan but unfortunately its too bad of quality :'(

I gotta have a 600 dpi scan of the original manual, with descreen on probably best to have a flatbed scanner then it needs to be saved as the highest quality jpg

I'm trying to understand what you are doing, from your one post it sounds like these are scans of printed versions? It looks like a scan of a low dpi print on standard paper.

Do you have access to the originals?

Thanks anyways though :) and nice collection

Yeah, the Bug! scans had low dpi when I checked back and looked closer at them. Nevertheless, I was able to make a retail cover for Bug! that far surpasses the current one on the website. I printed it out and it looks great. So, I'm satisfied! Thanks a lot! ;D

These are the best scans I can get with the equipment I have, and these are scans of the original inserts. The comment I made concerning degradation was that, in fact, what we are all scanning are factory prints from the original artwork by the original designers, so any and all scans I make (and anyone makes) are all going to have the natural imperfections introduced during the original printing process. The only way to do better is to get someone at Sega/Nintendo/etc to send us the original files :)

The photo of the Street Fighter Collection I posted was a crop at 100% zoom. Here was the original photo:

When I look at my scans, and I look at my originals, they look the same to me. Yes, I could scan at an even higher DPI, though, in my opinion, I end up with a larger blurrier file, rather than a crisp true representation of the original artwork (I scan at 300dpi). Granted, my scans may not look smooth when zoomed at 100% on a computer, but, again, when I look at the original art up close prior to scanning, I see the same imperfections. As mentioned earlier, when I did a test print of my Street Fighter scan, it looked accurate when stacked against the original.
