I started putting together a script to assemble the backgrounds. An example of the output: It'll take some work to put in place the logic for some of the more complex locations, but I'll be looking at it over the next week or so.

Oh nice! That looks good. I'll be interested to see how it tackles the more complicated backgrounds. I am not smart enough to script, so I gave Dinky Explorer / Thimblemonkey a go and ripped some backgrounds and their elements. But it's probably even more difficult to put all those seperate elements & effects together. Started with LeShip, but kinda gave up half way through 😅 Pasting together screenshots is always an option as well. Perhaps a combination of both works best, to get rid of the characters while keeping most of the effects. I'll also play around with the aspect ratio to see what results that gives.

Only seeing this now, any chance for proper 600dpi scans of that centerfold EMI poster? Might make for a worthy addition to the poster project.

I think that looks good. Going by assumption, it'd be hard to perfectly put together the backgrounds from assets because of the dynamic light sources, etc. I was going to look at doing it programmatically -- minus aforementioned complexities -- but haven't gotten around to it yet.
