Hi y'all!

HT, do you need some (retro) PC game box scans?
I've got quite a bunch or original PC game boxes;
* Monkey Island 1
* Loom
* Indiana Jones - Last Crusade
* etc..etc..etc..

Like to hear it if I need to scan 'em.

Compare what you have against what is already in the scans database. If you find anything that I dont have then please do scan it and send it to me. I will then upload it to the database.

Thanks for that.

Will do! When I've got the time this week, I'll check the site and compare to my PC games.

Thanks, looking forward to a few updates.

Hi HT,

Would you like to have the per-game manual/box shots in a single PDF for each game?
Or do you prefer single (jpg?) files?

Am I correct that there aren't any PC game manuals/boxes (yet!)?

You are corre t, we dont have any manuals yet and i would prefer high res jpg for the covers. Looking forward to adding these.

Ok, i'm now scanning at 1200dpi, but im not sure if thats enough?
Scanning every page though, not just front 'n back

Now off to bed hmm ZzzzzzZzzzz

DPI of 300 is good for prints and is more then enough to web-display

300 is the standard for printing

72 is the standard for web-display

i i remember correctly

Thats a good point, 300dpi would be more than enough stinow.

Wanted to upload the first PC game I scanned, being 'Loom'. But the file (zipped) appeared to be 220mb . 1200dpi... .

So I'll do some downscaling soon and continue scanning 'Aaargh' and 'Secret of Monkey Island'.

Cheers
