This image is a low quality one. The good image has more colours. — SvdB 15:26, 3 June 2007 (CEST)
- Actually, this appears to be true for all the sc1 databank images, just more noticeable in this and a few other cases (Spathi, Ur-Quan...). Perhaps these were taken from the sega version (as there's also some text differences)? I know the PONAF has these images - could we simply grab theirs and bring them over here to replace the current ones we have. --Fyzixfighter 16:01, 3 June 2007 (CEST)
- Quick update in a brief moment of free time: Yep, it looks like these are from the sega version of the game. So we can either just copy the PONAF images as is, or copy and convert them to PNG format (kind of pointless if there's already JPG loss), or recapture them from the PC SC1 (anyone remember the original resolution ???x??? of sc1). --Fyzixfighter 21:54, 3 June 2007 (CEST)
- I have actually recently written a couple of tools to extract the data files from SC1. The problem is that these images are actually stored in parts, and they need to be merged, so they need a bit more work before being usable. — SvdB 23:28, 3 June 2007 (CEST)
