Game Gear - Mortal Kombat 2

[TDIRunner]

Well, if I was doing it, I would completely redo the back - not a fan of the mixed styles - but it is good that your having a go with photoshop.  That's where i started a few years ago.

Also - try not to use the magic wand for removing backgrounds for the spine logo's - it leaves a horrible edge on it.  For simpler logos, I would cut it out (look at segamers tutorial - as it covers it perfectly) or for something like this one, I try and get as close a match as possible to the fonts, and just rebuild it (which i believe i did for the original version of this cover).  Ends up nice and crisp.

Thanks for the tips.  I'll check out Segamer's video.  Using the magic wand for that was a pain the butt anyway.  The weird part was that it didn't look too bad on my screen, so I printed it out and imediately noticed what your talking about.  Now that I've tried converting a few covers over to different formats, I really want to upgrade to a bigger monitor.  My 19" is not cutting it. 

And thanks for MKII.  Looks great.

Just an FYI for you or anyone else who might stop by, I scanned Madden '95 a while back.

I knocked up a quick back for Jungle book to give you an idea



oh - and your box is RE-packed, and waiting to get to the post office - 3rd time lucky!  I should get it off tomorrow!  I had to take out one of the Sonic carts for the weight.

Slightly better than mine (and my slightly I mean A LOT better than mine).

Lol - well if you look at some of my early game gear covers - which somehow managed to get on the site - your effort is MUCH better!  So don't get disheartened. 

Photoshop is actually pretty intuitive once you get used to it.  And there are a hell of a lot of features I still dont know how to use.  Unfortunately, all the ones i learnt early on where not the ones i needed for making decent covers.

Looking good.

Damn, I'm loving those cased Game Gear games. It looks great.   

[sheep2001]

Awesome.  Looking great!

@Sheep,

Your cover for Jaguar manuals looks great when printed out.  And it turns out that one UGC is just enough to fit all of my manuals.  Seriously, if I get one more manual, I'll have to start a second case.

I added Final Fantasy Anthology and Ridge Racer to my request list.

I'm looking for NTSC in regular CD jewel case format.

I have the Greatest Hits version of Ridge Racer, do you want me to scan it?

If you don't mind. 

Come to think of it, I'm not sure if the disc is GH or not.  I'll have to check that when I get home.

I'm not sure you can tell by looking at the disc, I have about 15 PS1 games that are GH and none indicate on the disc itself that it is.
Ridge Racer 600 dpi raws. If you need me to crop them and reupload let me know, I just didn't feel like opening PhotoShop right now.

In my experience, Greatest Hits discs are always a different color than the regular black label discs.  GH discs are normally black and chrome, or black and silver compared to the standard discs which usually have some type of color.  It's possible there might be some exceptions.  However, I have multiple games in both the GH and black label and they are all easily identifiable from the disc.

I can confirm that this applies to the following games:
  Gran Turismo
  Metal Gear Solid
  Driver 2
  Resident Evil Director's Cut
  Final Fantasy VII

Thanks for the scans.
