I drove 32 miles do pick this game up. Needless to say, it was worth it. $4.99 @ Game Stop. Can’t beat it!

After a positive feedback I was asked to post them at two wallpaper websites.

First one @ WallpaperBase received so far 13,500 downloads. Nice!


Atari wallpaper

Second one @ WallpaperGate received so far over 2600 downloads. Good too.

So while digging around in my old files I came upon it & decided that I should do it one more time for a larger monitors. Decided to use 1920×1200 resolution. That’s what I have.  Hope you like it.

Do you collect Nintendo Power Magazines? I do. Actually, I own every single one issue. May/June 1990 (vol# 012) issue has Super C on the cover. Inside however is a beautiful folded poster of Final Fantasy I for Nintendo NES. So I scanned it in four parts at 600dpi resolution. Then stitched them into one large image using Photoshop CS4 Photomerge function. After all said and done, image alone is 686MB in size. I slightly retouched the image, reduced it do 300dpi. Then re-sized it to 2000×2449 pix. You can download it here:

I scan even stuff other people might think is useless. But is it?

You see, lots of times you’ll stumble upon an item you have no idea about. By scavenging catalogs such as this, you will find original names, dates, item/product numbers and original pricing. Good stuff for collectors.

Section with my Personal Collection is rather pathetic. I admit. Most of the scans come from games I own. I didn’t really put to much effort into it, but I hope to change it in time.

The Donkey Kong 2 guide I’ve scanned seen it’s better days. Covers and spine where badly damaged. I leave the restoration of the images to others & that’s why I didn’t put any watermarking on it. If you have a better image of the covers & would like to contribute, please contact me. I’ll be glad to upload and credit the contributor.
