Looking for scans related to bitmap bros. games

kametyken · 20 May 2002, 20:50

I'm looking for reviews/advertisements of the games Cadaver, Gods, Magic Pockets and The Chaos Engine scanned from UK (or other non-German) computer mags for use on a website. Contributions will be credited (of course).

Thanks.

Hmm I've got some. Is 300dpi OK?

Muzkat · 31 August 2002, 14:55

If I can get a scan of my review of Gods, I will send it to you.

Can't guarantee it though. Don't have access to a scanner.

kametyken · 31 August 2002, 18:34

...thats are good news

@Akira: 300dpi is perfect

@Muzkat: please keep trying to get a scan

...your help with these scans is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance !

And what about *exotic* czech reviews, are you interested?

kametyken · 01 September 2002, 17:45

@^scrye^: ...yeah, might be interesting... a give the whole a more *exotic* taste

^scrye^ · 01 September 2002, 17:48

I'll do my best to do it till next day

Where do you want to post it: to the zone or e-mail?
BTW: 300 dpi fits perfectly, isn't it?

kametyken · 01 September 2002, 19:43

^scrye^: thanks. you can send it as mail or put it it the zone, it's up to you... and yes 300dpi would be okay

^scrye^ · 01 September 2002, 21:11

So it's upped in the "Zone" Faster than I thought
Enjoy this *czech* exotica

kametyken · 01 September 2002, 22:12

@ ^scrye^
...got it. thanks a lot!
it looks...hmmm...quite *exotic*

the verdict (81%) for Chaos Engine is allright (btw. it's the only part I understand)

Amiga1992 · 02 September 2002, 01:27

I have Part 1 of the Chaos Engine 2 WIP Diary held at The One. I could scan that, but I dont have part two.

Of course,box/cover scans taken from other sites CANNOT be used in yours.

kametyken · 02 September 2002, 08:59

...don't need Box scans from other sites 'cause I actually own most Bros. games in various flavours

Here a some of them:

@Akira: Please scan this CE2 diary even it's not complete.

Well...sort of. When HOL goes online, we will have no restrictions on the pics (since we didn't actually create the boxes!)

@kametyken: you are welcome

Yes, it's review only for the part 1 of this great game. Second never appeared due to completly new direction of this mag ---> they focused PC

Muzkat · 05 September 2002, 11:20

I don't know too much about scanners. When I scanned my review of Gods at 300 dpi, I got a JPEG file that was 14 meg big!!!

Am I doing something wrong?

kametyken · 05 September 2002, 15:42

@Muzkat

Oh...14meg is pretty fat.

300dpi mag scans (~2500x3500 24bit) usually have app. 25-15 megs uncompressed. Gently compressed jpegs at this resolution have app. 2.5-1.5 megs in file size, this means a compression ratio of 10 (uncompressed) to 1 (compressed) which is quite good in image quality and file size. You have to adjust the jpeg compression level in your graphic program before saving the image. Maybe your graphic application is by default adjusted to save jpeg's with the highest image quality, but that's not necessary for this purpose. Which program do you use for scannig?

...hope this helps & thanks for scanning
