Mosaic of Mario. Each tile is a screenshot of a mario game. Amazing!

I don't even like the "superhero suit" design, but this is such a fine artwork:
The rear gate is closed down
The way out is cut off

I think they did a really good job of rendering the concept art into the game.

According to the Engrish-modified crossing sign, its railroad has long since been "crosed." I guess the current one is meant to be out of use too, hence the gas station. And that lawn chair a few feet from it.ED-057 wrote:And there is a sign for a railroad crossing, but no actual crossing

^Oh hell yes. Baraduke's poster is a favourite of mine... perfect interpretation of the game's action. The game itself has quite an atmosphere too. For all the slight goofiness of its chubby sprites, those are some fucked-up looking monsters.

The Pac-Man thing ftw. I guess pretty much all sprites and tiles are 32x32, hence the chubbyness.

Re: Video Game Artwork
Unfortunately the message I'm getting from this thread (intended or not) is how sorry as fuck US game covers are. At first I thought that back in the 70's & 80's they simply needed great covers to help the gamer imagine that pile of pixels was some awesome spaceship, but just look at some of the art in this thread from only a few years ago. Do publishers just assume all US gamers are attracted to butt ugly covers?
Anyway, here's some of those Intellivision covers you've seen before that set a really high bar for video game art:

Re: Video Game Artwork
I've been thinking similarly since getting into the Mega Drive. So many games I remember having dog-ugly boxes as a kid have beautiful cover art in their native format.
Assault Suit Leynos, Strider and Shadow Dancer all got bludgeoned with the ugly boxart stick too. El Viento is probably my favourite example of this unfortunate practice.

Re: Video Game Artwork
Whoa, whoa, hold up now! Both of those Alisia Dragoon covers rule! Might be my infatuation with fantasy art, though.

Re: Video Game Artwork
It's more the US one being completely unrepresentative of the character that I dislike, really - it's far from the worst cover on its own merits. I like Vallejo-style stuff too.
El Viento's US illustration of that game's protagonist is a true abomination.

^Hahahaha, oh god, yeah; that El Viento is so horrendous. And yeah, you're certainly right about Alisia Dragoon. Cool picture, but certainly doesn't fit the character.

Badass. As you'd expect from a Cowboy Shooter. Check out Wolf Chief in the background and Pig Joe's looming shadow with TNT in hand! And that sneaky prick Ninja.

Naoyuki Kato's cover for Guardic Gaiden is one of my faves ever.
The covers for the ports are appalling by comparison. American one's a ripoff of a movie poster and the euro one's pretty bland when compared to the original.
