Looking for Keen Box Scans

Post by BrainRain »

Is there somebody who has the retail keen boxes and it can scan them, it would be nice to collect them for preservation purpose.
I hate MobyGames, because it puts on the covers some wathermarks that are really anoying.
Abandonia has a great Keen 6 box scan that can be found here http://www.abandonia.com/en/boxshot/24899
Still I can't find a great Galaxy front and back cover and a Keen Dreams one

I have a pretty good Dreams front cover, I'll send it right over. My galaxy front sadly isn't very sharp, and I've got an okay Vorticons cover.

The box scan of each game needs to be in the Keen wiki on each game's frontpage. I have most of the scans I believe.

I've got a Great Galaxy Box Scan today, i think it's made in 300dpi, so it's really cool

I hate uploading big files, they use space.

But here's a Keen 6 special edition for you: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/ ... ted5gm.jpg

Here's one but it's small and it doesn't have the back cover scan
It would be nice a 300dpi scan for every cover :p

Keen's skin is so pink on the box art. It's a disgrace >:

I actually never minded the Keen 6 box art. I think it's rather fitting.
