Scans are always helpful, thanks a lot! I already have a few scans, but it's never enough. I also have high-res versions of the original promo photos used for the covers of both the adventure and the action game, but everything else I'll have to take from the boxes. So please, go ahead and scan away! As always, 600dpi, no filtering, please. By the way, the problem with this "poster" is that the logo placement forces the inclusion of the marbled border. Until now, I've shied away from including the borders - and apart from Fate of Atlantis (which came with its own, artwork-appropriate frame) none of the other artworks "required" their respective frame to work. However, lately I've grown more fond of those marbled patterns, so ultimately I'd like to add versions of all the posters with their frames intact. Easier said than done though, as those frames on the edges of the boxes are hard to scan. By the way, your name reads familiar, but I can't remember where I've read it before.

Chariot of the Dogs 😉

Without seeing the art up close, my only gripe would be that the green record's label isn't yellow. It doesn't necessarily look like an official release (too much art plastered on it), but a well-made fan release.

To be fair, helping Harmy out was just a small side effect of localizing his Despecialized Editions into German. I think I've only contributed a handful of restored shots, all of which have now become obsolete with the releases of 4k77/4k80/4k83 and their offsprings anyway. I put much more work into re-creating the German crawls, subtitles and credits, plus editing multiple audio tracks from the different German releases (although I had a lot of help on that), and creating cover/labels/inserts to make them look nice on the shelf. Here are my original release threads, which I've moved on from a long time ago, even though people are still asking for download links: https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Krieg-der-Sterne-Despecialized-Edition-2-7-German-Released/id/15914 https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Das-Imperium-schlagt-zuruck-Despecialized-Edition-2-1-German-Released/id/47944 https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Die-Ruckkehr-der-Jedi-Ritter-Despecialized-Edition-2-5-German-Released/id/48573 And to bring this back on-topic, a more important side gig for me was Telltale Games allowing me to create the cover artwork for "Back to the Future: The Game" (which I should add to the thread eventually):

Just a little heads up: The UK magazine Retro Gamer interviewed me for their latest issue, so be sure to check it out!

I remember buying them alongside tons of other stuff when EVERYTHING in the TTG store was 90% off and worldwide shipping was free when they had to clear their warehouse. In hindsight I should have bought so much more.

I've updated the existing EU artwork to Zombies Ate My Neighbors with a higher quality version and added the US cover to the game. I've also added several artworks from Ghoul Patrol.

My pleasure! I always thought that artwork would be lost to time, as I've only ever seen it used on the back of the box, covered with text and screenshots and on those tiny auction photos. So finding out that it was used on the Korean manual, got me thrilled to find somebody who could scan it for me. And when I finally found someone AND it turned out that the art was also used on the Taiwanese manual AND that someone was able to scan both for me, I was beyond excited.

Mighoet Sündback made a restoration of it: https://mighoet.artstation.com/projects/aRzON0 Seems to be the best out there currently.

And thanks to Jake, I finally scanned and stitched this: Detail isn't great, but after some AI-tinkering, it'll do:

I've added the rear box artwork of MI2 to the main post:

The image link is broken, but I guess I know which artwork you are talking about. The painted Kyle/Jerec fight, right? I haven't seen a full version of it (I don't think I've even seen a full-size version of it).

Still not working... the last time it got back to working again much faster. Edit: And we're back!

Yeah, it happens from time to time... then it goes back to normal. No idea if it fixes itself or someone actually has to do any work for that

Hey guys, I'd like to put up another request for scanning a few items for the poster project. Currently I am especially looking for material from the earlier Lucasfilm/Activision titles, "Koronis Rift" and "The Eidolon". Both were released on floppy and on cassettes, but the cassette cases usually are too small to provide a high quality artwork. "Koronis Rift" at least had a big-box floppy release on C64 in Europe, which provides a rather large, clean version of Terry Hoff's artwork: Strangely though there seems to be another version of the floppy release, with a cropped version of the art: The US release seems to offer the highest quality of the artwork though and could be extended and cleaned up with the European box: A magazine ad that's probably the biggest reproduction of the artwork, unfortunately it's cropped. But a proper scan of this still might be extremely useful: For Ken Macklin's artwork from "The Eidolon" things are a bit more complicated, as none of the boxes provide the full image. I'd need several scans to reconstruct a somewhat usable version. US C64 (though mostly identical for other platforms): JP MSX2: Plus some magazine ads that would help a lot (once properly scanned): So if anybody here can help out, let me know!

If I find or get good material for it, sure.

A few more things in the works:

I've added several posters for Rescue on Fractalus and Ballblazer.

Good idea, sure, I can do that.

Several tracks have been added: Greetings from the USA The Ball, The Diner, The Bender and the Binoculars Dino Bungee National Memorial

Sí señor. I've added it to the main post.

Thanks for the heads up, I've fixed it. I only took a quick glance at the game's credits on Mobygames.com and used the first music-related entry (which was obviously just the programming side of things).

Some of you might have already seen this on Twitter or some Discord, but I guess this is the right place to post this as well. As a Christmas present to myself I bought a great set of virtual jazz instruments, ProjectSAM's Swing! and Swing More!, which I've eyed for a while for one specific purpose: Using them to finally create a remastered version of the Sam & Max Hit the Road soundtrack by Clint Bajakian, Peter McConnell and Michael Land, so here we go: This is the slowly growing playlist on Soundcloud, and once it's finished, I'll provide download links to the complete soundtrack.

Fullfilling this request, I've added two versions of this poster to the main post.

Fair enough, they might still provide great material. I already had the RA poster scanned, but the result isn't great. For Ballblazer and Fractalus I have high-res scans of the original photos used on the boxes and posters, and I've already started rebuilding the posters with those.
