jacobus Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I've been working on this for the last few days - all I need is a high rez scan of Alley Cat (wink wink, nudge nudge, nag nag) to finish it. When complete, I can provide a 150DPI version of the file can that be sent to Wal-Mart (or anyone else who does large prints) for printing as a 30" x 20" poster (approximately $25) I'd like to invite other collectors to put together similar posters for other publishers (EA, Infocom, etc) (I used MS Publisher - but it could be done in almost any DTP program) It would be nice to have a library of posters available. (and really nice to have a scan of Alley Cat too!!!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockford Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I second this request! If somebody has Alley Cat, please scan the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Thirded this great idea! It would be so cool to have these posters above my 8bit setups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmenit Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Shadow World - IMHO one of the most underrated games for A8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Yeah... no one ever said back in the day that it requires OS-B to play correctly... Maybe someone will do "non OS-b" fix for this (or maybe it is somewhere?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrobits Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Yeah... no one ever said back in the day that it requires OS-B to play correctly... Maybe someone will do "non OS-b" fix for this (or maybe it is somewhere?). This copy of Shadow World works on XL/XE. I seem to remember that Slime and Nautilus are the only Synapse games that don't have XL versions yet. Could be mistaken tho.

jacobus Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 Update I printed a test copy of the poster a Costco today (they do 20" x 30" for $18 and 24" x 32" for $20) ... and it looks really really good! All except for the low rez scan I have of Alley Cat - can anyone help? Please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irgendwer Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) All except for the low rez scan I have of Alley Cat - can anyone help? Since I like the idea of the poster, I've played a little bit with your Alley Cat low-rez scan (sorry, I also haven't the box). Maybe you like the result.

Havok69 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I'd love to see one done up with all the Infocom games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irgendwer Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 (edited) I'd love to see one done up with all the Infocom games! Something like this backside crop of the 'Masterpieces of Infocom'-Box? Edited May 15, 2010 by Irgendwer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have some (although diminishing) hope that an owner of the original packaging will appear. If you want a copy of the work-in-progress poster, let me know.

I have been working on an Infocom version with scans taken from my own collection. I had quite a bit of trouble deciding the layout. First kick at the cat was simply alphabetical: Next I tried chronological: My current favourite is by Genre: Edited May 17, 2010 by jacobus 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havok69 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Nice - definitely by genre. You need better scans for Wishbringer and Trinity though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mabye you can exchange also other box art on your poster with the ones from the archive - to get rid of the system stickers...

ilmenit Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 This copy of Shadow World works on XL/XE. I seem to remember that Slime and Nautilus are the only Synapse games that don't have XL versions yet. Could be mistaken tho. The copy above crashes after finishing a level.

jacobus Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 OK, updated Synapse poster with better scans of Shamus II and Alley Cat. And with the Showcase titles added... These are low rez versions compatible with AA's posting limits - if anyone wants a full rez version, please contact me directly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnapCraft Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Does anyone have the high-res files of this poster? The Synapse one, not the Infocom poster. Can you please email me it? I really want to print one out professionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
