You have a week to make this tiny contribution, then I'm going to get REALLY mad.

Do it! You wouldn't like Walker when he's angry.

woody57 · 16 August 2003, 14:31

Dizzy · 16 August 2003, 14:55

I can give you Kings Quest V and Dune (if it's okey with the Platinium Edition and some danish stickers)

Is HOL interested in scan of these games, or do yopu have some of them (but haven't had time to update them)

CodyJarrett · 16 August 2003, 16:23

Can you scan them all please Dizzy?

Mr Creosote · 16 August 2003, 16:28

Is that some kind of 'good cop - bad cop' routine?

Walker · 16 August 2003, 16:57

Shut up and start scanning!

Dizzy · 16 August 2003, 19:32

YES SIR

Could I please have my hands free

Walker · 16 August 2003, 20:38

Hell no! You can operate the scanner with that ugly nose of yours.

Put that key away Cody, or I'll make you eat it.

Dizzy · 16 August 2003, 20:57

Would you plz unzip my..... then use my third arm.

Dizzy · 17 August 2003, 15:44

Okey Now I uploaded the first few titles (to your ftp, in the Dizzy drawer). Hope you are satisfy with the quality.
Rest will follow as soon as possible.
I found the booklet from Amiga format with the story from Beneath a Steel Sky. Mayby you could do an pdf of it.

Walker · 19 August 2003, 00:55

Scans and contribution points added.

The following scans were too small (<640 wide), could you rescan them in 300 dpi?

Beyond The Ice Palace
Las Vegas
Leatherneck
Space Station
Super Ski

Sure, but the cover isn't very big 9 cm wide and 23,5 cm long front and back cover is stick together for the Pocket power collection.

Walker · 19 August 2003, 12:06

In 300 dpi it's no problem. I know, because I scanned a couple myself.

Walker is right. 300dpi is the most important rule of scanning for HOL. Anything else can be tweaked to fix various things, but a 72dpi scan can never be repaired to display text clearly and it creates deplorable artifacting.

Dizzy · 20 August 2003, 10:52

Sorry thought I did scan in 300dbi, but I didn't (only 150). I think I have to do it all over again. Just got the scanners so it's new area for me.

...is on HOL FTP. 300dpi, jpg - quality 60. Front and back may have slightly cropped edges. If there is any interest in having them 'CAPSized' i could redo them properly. Color & contrast have been post-processed to be as close to the original as possible, at least on my screen.

Unfortunately, thats all MIA box scans I've got at the moment. (I cannot believe that there is another one that has been suckered into buying Manix. I thought I was the only one..)

cheers
