The Pawn rework:
A few years back I started to remaster the Pawn poster from a scan last month I restarted & finished the job printed on A3+ fine art lustre paper.
The image above is a small version and lost some quality due to resizing e.t.c. Thought I would share. update: 16:6:2021 |
Looks pretty nice. I never got around to actually play The Pawn.
|
Nice. And now the greatest question of all: who is the author of the original painting? I can not find this information for most of the Rainbird releases.

Although it is a very sharp image, the contrast seems a little too high causing the skin and face to have too much yellow compared to the original image..

Thread moved from the Nostalgia & memories section to the Graphics. Finished Work section ;)

I believe The Pawn was the first game i ever played on the Amiga. With the mesmerizing music I was hooked.

Thanks for the info. It's due to a lack of time due to a lot of other projects. I plan to finish verifying that all the disks I transferred over before playing new games |
Why is the Knight carrying his Mom ?

The image was from the poster which was included with the Amiga version the one you posted is like the in game boot screen but I agree mine is a little over saturated I have given it a little tweak in the first post :) |

I repeated the scan and tweaked for a3 print pictured above over the last couple of weeks. |

Just wanted to mention that there is another option for playing (many) of the old Magnetic Scrolls games: the "remastered" versions made by Strand Games, a small game developer founded by Hugh Steers (one of the founding members of Magnetic Scrolls) and Stefan Meier (creator of the Magnetic Scrolls Memorial site).
https://strandgames.com/ They've done some great work.. recovered the original source code from badly damaged backup tapes (by baking them), fixed some long-standing bugs, interface improvements (such as auto-mapping), and even added some original pictures and location-specific ambient sounds. They are selling the remastered versions, but for 1.49 GBP, they're not getting rich with this project. |
