The Sega Genesis Case Project! -- We need your scans!!

Hey, I want to buy around 25 of those cases from someone.. I was wondering if anyone could help me out? I don't want to buy 50.

PM me!
 
Does anyone have scans of Bubsy or X-Men? If you do, I'll use it as incentive to scan some of my collection.

get this organized and i will take all the covers, zip them up and have it available to all of you guys...just need it a bit more organized like the other threads.

i appreciate all the work you guys are doing.
 
i whole heartidly belive that we should only use 1:1 cover scans @ 300dpi. custom covers are nice and all but we're trying to preserve these games and cartridges as much as possible, correct? if we're going to do this, we should do it right. here are my scans to add to the project. if i had more games, id scan more covers but i dont so i cant. enjoy these. if people are interested ill share my scanning/photoshop techniques in the hopes that others will follow in the way of quality, peace and justice for all!!

Edit: yea yea yea... i was too lazy to stamp out some dust and scratches. also, you may want to check out www.covergalaxy.com for newer(PSX and after) console scans.

actually, ive gone through each cover and color corrected them as well as crop and get out most of the blemishes. i try to maintain quality with my digital media as much as possible.
 
[quote name='DMBListener']theyll fit in genesis cases just fine! :)[/QUOTE]

But if you have the Genesis cases then you don't need these scans, right? The point is to have a nice way to store loose carts that looks pretty much like the original covers. We have found the MedioShelving cases to be the best cases for this, which is why all these projets (N64, SNES, Genesis) resize the scans to fit those cases.

Hey, first time posting here.

I Happen to have both first and second generation Mega CD cases (Eur) and Think upgrading them to DVD case size would look kinda good.
Seeing as the Mega CD and the 32X were kinda low on games, I prepose that we algomate the three consoles?

And to prove my end of the bargen, I will supply the Mega CD covers for use and hopefuly supply a second gen Megadrive (Blue Strpe and bubbles) in due time, yes?
 
it would be quite hard to format mega cd covers into a dvd cover without it being that crappy.
 
Yeah, Kinda realised that, sorry.

But you wouldn't mind me submitting the Mega Drive Gen 2 cover anyway? (I just think it looks better than Gen 1's black look, can't say the same for Red Stripes though.)

Problem is, I haven't got it to hand, it's in the mail. >_>
 
Not sure if anyone noticed, but I recoded the cover page and moved us to a new webhost so things should be much faster now.
 
Live, damn you! Live!!!! C'mon, people!! If I can get some decent scans, I can do some. The fact that the genesis section is empty at Snackbar really bugs me, so c'mon!!!
 
Is a scan of Virtua Racer still needed? I have it and would gladly do so. Just don't want to waste the time if it's already been done...
 
I just got cases in the mail for Phantasy Star 3 and 4. The insert for 3 has one of those obnoxious metal stickers that leave "void" if you pull them off and it's right over the upc. I don't know if you guys can work your magic around that. Should I rip the sticker off and then scan it? The box for 4 is a little crushed, but it looks pretty good. I also have Gunstar Heroes. I'm going to scan all 3 tomorrow.
 
Awsome idea, I'll start working on some submissions right now. I think I still have some images on my hd from a few years ago when I made my own covers.
 
[quote name='daroga']Just for fun, the Genesis covers I did way back when are going onto snackbar.[/QUOTE]

As they should. This new site is going to be all about covers and should provide a much better environment for getting them scanned, created, and distributed to everyone who wants them.

Just a thought, I've got a lot of the templates for the Geneiss covers on the front page too. Will there be more of a spot for aspiring cover makers to get tools like that on the site?

Then go ahead and make your own :)

Oh god yes. We are going to have an entire section for guides and tools. This project will be very community driven so I will do everything in my power to provide the proper tools for that to happen.
 
[quote name='daroga']Then go ahead and make your own :)[/quote]I'll probably try to make classic covers out of the finished ones. :)

In the meantime, I'll get my scanner set up and start scanning my Genny and SNES boxes for the two projects.

hehe, good deal. I'm out of time to work on things like this anymore, but more power to all of you on it. :) Snowcone, I believe all tmy completed covers are uploaded to the current server. Feel free to take any of the templates, etc. that I put up here to use in a tools section as I doubt I'll be paying enough attention to do it myself. Give me credit, don't give me credit. Whatever.
 
REMEMBER I AM LOOKING FOR ORIGINAL GENESIS SCANS, NOT MEGADRIVE. (at this time)

I am trying to put together a data base of all the covers of the US Genesis games in good quality (preferably 300 dpi - 1000 x 700 or greater)

So far I am working mostly on 1989 and 1990. I have scanned many from my own collection and also gotten others from other sources. I have visited several websites and there are a few that are very hard to find:

AF: accurate facimile based on thumbnail of cover only

I believe someone mentioned needing a cover to X-Men. I have that.

When I have my collection I am going to build a website.

Well, they are changing the original covers into that gawd awful candy striped design Sega of America started when the brain dead monkeys took over the company and fired all of the humans.

I'd have no problem contributing to their work if one of them contacted me with something I needed from my list.

Seriously, I did contact them and offer an exchange of my scans for scans I need.
 
Has anyone got a hi-res scan of the Chaotix (32x) box-art? I am in desperate need of it for work purposes so any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
Hi.

I just remastered the cover for Phantasy Star 3. It differs a bit, but let me know what you think. Everything has been redrawn in adobe illustrator and photoshop. Just artwork is original 400dpi scan.



It took me two days to do it between work and other stuff.

BTW, here is my coustom Metal Gear Solid 4 cover for PS3.



I hope you'll like it.
 
If you guys are still doing this, I have Castlevania Bloodlines and maybe a dozen other games. Let me know, I can scan them all pretty easily.
