Printing a Sega CD cover

[Menegrothx]

I recently bought a NTSC Sega CD game (Eye of the beholder) with out the front cover/manual and it's bugging me a lot. Since it's unlikely that I will find a loose manual to buy, is there any way to print the manual/cover art of the game on a thick paper so that it doesn't look fake? Any one here ever done that? I know it's probably against some copyright law, but I doubt it's that big of a deal, considering that the game was released in 1994 (1991 for the original MS DOS/Amiga version) and as I have no intention of selling the game

If you get it printed at kinkos or something it should look fine. I have a few Dreamcast and PSX games I had to print covers for like that.

As for legality, I think it might technically be illegal, but it's one of those "nobody really gives a shit" areas, so you're fine.

Just find a high-quality scan of the front cover somewhere. The guys at TheCoverProject might be able to help you.

This guy is a TCP member who owns a complete set of every Sega CD, Saturn, and Dreamcast game and has been in the process of scanning the front and back covers of each and every one in. You should find your game there I'm certain.

EDIT 2: specifically, the cover you'd need is right here: http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php? ... 91upir0zmb

take it to a nice print shop or something and see if they'll print it for you. Tell them NOT to adjust print dimensions or anything at all, it should print to the proper size assuming you have the right paper size. I think legal would work fine, but I've never printed a longbox cover so I don't know for sure.

Thanks a bunch. My father has a nice printer at his office so I'll ask him to print it out, if that doesn't work I'll try some professional print shop

Ah, hopefully it comes out okay!

It probably won't fool anyone upon close inspection, but it'll at least have it looking a bit nicer on your shelf next to your other games

I have some cover scans I still need go print out so some of my games aren't naked. I'm probably going to take the games with me when I do so if they give me any crap I can take them in and show them that I'm just making them for games I have, not making bootlegs.
