Genesis/Mega Drive scan request
Hi chaps, I have a bunch of Mega Drive jap games and US genesis games that are unboxed, ideally I'd like to find original covers but some of these are proving more difficult than others.
If anyone can lead me in the general direction of high quality printable 3-600 dpi scans it would be greatly appreciated.
I'd also like to find raw scans of a fair few SNES/SFC and Famicom boxes.
Thanks in advance!!

Re: Genesis/Mega Drive scan request
Yeah, I'm after the raw scans rather than altered covers
Cheers

Re: Genesis/Mega Drive scan request
Maybe I'm missing something but the Genesis boxes I've seen on there had the 'US retail cover' as an option on the cover project site. Were there ones in particular you're looking for they didn't have?

Re: Genesis/Mega Drive scan request
yeah i'm not entirely sure what the complaint is? they all look legit to me.
now we need something like this for manuals, discs/carts themselves, posters, blah. "silly material dump website".

Re: Genesis/Mega Drive scan request
Yeah they're almost identical height wise but have different width proportions so its not as easy as just print and put into a case. Raw scans are a lot easier as its just a case of printing no messing about with dimensions.
There a a few actually that don't appear to be on there and there are very few MD shmups at all.
I'm looking for the following jap covers specifically:
Slap Fight
Tatsujin
Bioship Paladin
Thunderforce IV
Battlemania 2
The following genesis/EU covers
Fire Shark (Genesis)
Battle Squadron (Genesis)
Sol Deace (Genesis)
Air Buster (genesis)
Atomic Robo-Kid (genesis)
Alien Soldier (EU mega drive)

I might be able to get Alien Soldier scanned at some point, but don't hold your breath. Scanner's bust at the mo.

Re: Genesis/Mega Drive scan request
Sorry chaps, maybe NTSC-J would be more appropriate.
Anyone got any of the above they could scan?

Re: Genesis/Mega Drive scan request
I should be able to get you Slap Fight. I owe it to the world to scan that cover, it's a work of art.
Will try to do it tomorrow, remind me if I forget, quite a lot on at the moment.

Re: Genesis/Mega Drive scan request
Here you go. 600dpi and you'll need to do your own rotations etc.

Here's Atomic Robokid Genesis: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/536 ... idScan.jpg
Wow, just looked--the Japanese cover is way cooler! Dang.
Here's Fireshark Genesis: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/536 ... rkScan.jpg
Apologies in advance, but you'll have to do some rotation in a photo editor to clean them up. Those things are hard to get to lay down nicely and line up right.
Those are all I have from you list of can't-finds.
