^ very cool - I particularly like the old-timey American comic style of the last page. I wonder if they were deliberately evoking the 1930s/40s? Goes perfectly with the series' Neo WWII aesthetic.
Looking up SST Band's customarily shaweet bass-slapping OST, I was 99% sure someone had thumbnailed a Porky's poster to get clicks.

But no, this is apparently Thunder Blade's arcade flyer.

Tres cerebral.

Konami x Toaplan:NO WAY OUT! HYPER VIOLENCE SHOOTING
Respectable alt. ver:

Overseas ver: Nowhere as intense, but notable for an apparent Raiden prefiguring

and that badass black dragon logo variant.
Dayona USA Japanese arcade flyer. Utterly classic, much like the game itself. The tight, clean polys have aged flawlessly, and its use of primary colours is irresistible. Even the operator-geared spread is alluring.



Here's SNK's
Genshitou aka
Prehistoric Isle in 1930. Holy fuck this is rad.

Shameful confession time, this game's attract mode made me jump as a little kid, shit was loud. Now that I think about it, master of rotary shooting Obada-san
mentioned he deliberately cranked Ikari's PCB loud as fuck to drown out the rest of the arcade. I wonder if this was the same deal.

Overseas ver loses the
sha-weeet JP logo but gains a cool tagline. I think you mean
THE ISLAND IS FULL OF MOTHERFUCKING DINOSAURS, old bean!

Some nice official artworks of Jenova LIFE and DEATH I'd not seen before, from Mobius Final Fantasy. I have a certain fondness for FFVII, mostly for Jenova being pretty much John Carpenter's
The Thing in a fantasy setting. I'd not seen that classic film at my first playthrough BITD, and was infatuated with the now-familiar wordless virulence of the fiend. Makes planetfall, hungry hell creeps forth. I dig alien terrors inexplicable on a human level but horribly apparent on the primal.
"A malformed beast hailing from the distant stars."

LIFE is more robust than I'm used to seeing with its sleek carapace and musculature, but I think it goes great with the theme of a pestilent predator in full horrid bloom. I like the contrast of its Giger biomechanics with the creature's characteristic chaotic asymmetry. DEATH is magnificently malign with its sickly, bloated, overripe aspect and carpet of bleached bones stripped (and no doubt SUCCED) clean.

Concept art for the classic reveal, a pitifully ruined human form.
