Covers Created from Clay

[PC Engine Fan X!]

The classic PC Engine Super CD-Rom2 of Gradius II from Konami has actual pictures of the Vic Viper fightercraft kit-bashed and it's accompanying background scenery diorama as well portrayed through out the instruction manual. Sadly, we don't see stuff like that being done nowadays.

Can't believe I forgot this one! Amongst my favourite FC boxarts. Reminded by YOU.SHINO



Not sure if the character art is physical cutout, or superimposed onto the BG models. Maybe a bit of both? In the spirit of the thread, at any rate. The FC box is actually a modified closeup, taken from the lovely arcade flyer:

Also, a higher-res repost of The Ninja Kids, to celebrate the ACA release of this great brawler.

I think you're right with "C": there's some interesting depth and shadowing going on in both the key and wizard battle panels...

The key and treasure box are so satisfying to look at. Got a bag of pretzels on my desk that recalls the locked door, too.

Another I forgot from the FC trunk! Hard to find good scans, sadly. Charming photography for a lovable little consolisation.
