A new (experimental) inlays viewer is now available!

https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/inlays_ ... el_id=2631

You can search inlays by title or by publisher or by combination both of them at once.

We need to think about a way to integrate this with the website layout/design.

Right now, SC has a quick search field at the top right corner of every page. I would keep it without changes.

SC also has a more detailed search form in the home page. I suggest modifying it to have 4 tabs:

* Search titles (exactly like current advanced search)

* Search labels (people and companies)

* Search magazines

* Search inlays

Just a question, @pavero ... hi-res Imagine or Ocean inlays were already added some time ago in a website update (IIRC) so why do you say that? They're not the same as the one in the archive?

pavero · Post by **pavero** » Sun Jul 21, 2019 7:46 pm

No, they aren't the same at all. From every single inlay all scratches, tears and marks were removed in Photoshop.

And they were re-uploaded again.

E.g. old one:

And new one:

I hope someone will find a difference.

Excellent work, Pav!

saucysarah · Post by **saucysarah** » Sat May 16, 2020 11:07 am

Outstanding work @pavero !! These are a real nostalgia trip for me. Do you have many of the following that could use a remaster -

Artic Computing
Adventure International
Magazine Covertape Inlays (like Sinclair User & Crash)

saucysarah · Post by **saucysarah** » Wed May 27, 2020 11:00 am

[mention]pavero[/mention] Hi, out of interest, did you have any of the inlays I listed above for remaster or are you done now with remastering inlays ?

redballoon · Post by **redballoon** » Wed May 27, 2020 11:27 am

OK, who's up for doing this for the inlays...?

If you are talking about Artic or Adventure International inlays. No, I haven't begun to process them yet.

Very nice!

saucysarah · Post by **saucysarah** » Wed Jun 03, 2020 6:10 pm

How's it going [mention]pavero[/mention] . I was browsing a few inlays today and noticed that there is no 'Elite Systems' inlays !? Only the very old WOS ones. Do you have any good quality Crash + Sinclair User etc. covertape inlays in nice quality ? Keep up the good work !

pavero · Post by **pavero** » Thu Jun 04, 2020 9:46 pm

Yes, Elite systems inlays are on my list ... only 5 inlays missing for completing the set. Then I will publish them.

Now I'm not focusing on covertapes, but you will find many of them in Mort's great archive ...

saucysarah · Post by **saucysarah** » Sun Jun 07, 2020 5:41 pm

Thanks for the link but i'll have to pass on that as the filesizes are way too big for my internet connection !

I found another popular publisher almost completely missing from your remasters, 'US Gold'. There are only a couple of games in there. Are 'Acro Jet' and 'Silent Service' correct as US Gold because I don't see a US Gold logo or any mention on the boxes (only the white AcroJet inlay) ?

pavero · Post by **pavero** » Sun Jun 07, 2020 7:00 pm

US Gold is also on the list. About 10 compilation inlays are missing now ...

Silent Serive and AcroJet, at least for me, are titles from Microprose.

That's what I thought. Only the white AcroJet inlay has a US Gold mention. Also, the Kixx release of 'Project Stealth Fighter' is in the MicroProse category.
Looking forward to your work.
