Do you still have the original Worms? I'm looking for a nice, big scan of the original cover (preferably an early release cover without all of the information about how many awards the game has won). The DVD case Sold Out Edition might suffice, but ideally I'm looking for a good scan of the original Amiga boxart (tricky, I know).

The reason? I'm currently knocking out DVD-sized covers for my PSone games collection (I made [this Worms Armageddon cover (http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=1007)] for example) and there are only two games left to do - X2 and Worms. I'd scan the PlayStation cover, but it's not the right size.

Thanks for your help.

Hmm. I don't have Worms, but would you have any use for a scan of the US PC Worms Armageddon box? I could make one.

I think he asked who has it, not who doesn't.
But I may be wrong tho.

You're probably right, but seeing as we are all spammers, it doesn't make much difference.

Yes, but sadly not of the resolution I require.

TheLegacy also has some Worms covers, you have to register to see the images in original size.
http://www.thelegacy.de/Start/english.html

The size of the big ones is about 550x700 pixel.

That's the only cover The Legacy has of the original, but it has an Amiga CD32 sticker on it and a watermark on the bottom.

You will also find the back cover on this site.

Cyclaws very kindly provided me with a scan of the front cover about an hour and a half ago. I've just finished my DVD case sized cover for Worms on the PSone and I'm printing it off now.

[Click here for the preview version (http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/boxart/Worms-preview.jpg)] - keep in mind this is not the full-size version so you can't print this one off. I'll upload the larger one later. It's worth noting that this game was never given a PEGI rating, and the rating I've stuck on the cover is based on the rating for pretty much every Worms game PEGI have rated - the only game that received a rating lower than 7+ was Worms Forts, which got a 3+.

Thanks. The full-size version is now available, at a hefty 8.6 MB, by clicking [here (http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/boxart/Worms.png)]. I can provide instructions for printing if anyone wants to use it.

Looks great (I forgot I had my PS1 version...), only, would it be possible to have a brandless cover disk, so people can make them for their own format?

(I myself dont have a PS2, and hate Sony to the bitter end, so there you go :P)
