Origin Systems was famed for the beautiful cover art of many of its game releases, and presented below is a sadly incomplete selection of high quality scans from some of these titles. This list will increase dramatically as more high-quality scans become available, and submissions are of course always accepted. They range in quality from 600 to 1200 dpi, and were taken using a variety of different scanners and scanning techniques.
Few of these originals were perfect, and there are some noticeable dust, wear, and scanning artifacts have been erased where possible. Scans that contained large stickers or physical damage that obscured any of the original artwork were not included here. Feel free to download these files, and enjoy the spectacular artwork.
