See that little line of text on the bottom right, under the 3DO logo? If any of you can read it or are familiar enough with the character set to reproduce them here, so that I can copy and paste them into a paint program, I'd be much appreciative. 😉

Am making some replacement jewel case inserts. I've just spent a bunch of time looking over tables of hiragana(?) but especially those first two letters are eluding me.

Those first two letters are kanji (chinese character set) the rest is katakana not hiragana 😀 been 10 years since studies japanese and onmy phone, annoying tap!, but translate using katakan 😠 a and say it phonetically in english 😀

First kanji is way too low res to be readable, the rest (roughly) says 'software for use with 3DO'. Typed out with '??' in place of the illegible character:

3DO ?? 用ソフト

Thanks! I found a scan of a different game with the text a lot clearer and ended up just copy & pasting it from there. Here's my version:

I know the title positioning is different, it's from the long box. 😀 I'm not trying to reproduce any specific cover exactly, I just wanted something that would look nicer than an empty jewel case on my shelf (I'm running these off on a low-DPI laser printer anyway.) Thought having the Japanese logo on there makes it more interesting.

(Early 3DO games were generally released in a long box in North America & Europe, but in a jewel case in Japan.)
