Video Game Artwork

Domination, eh?

Interesting to see all the artwork Capcom is putting into the cameo characters for its Onimusha Soul browser game: http://members.oni-soul.jp/payment/cap_heroines/

Click on a character to see her/his 4 levels of power, each with its own art.

Even by the usual illustrious standards of old Japanese game manuals, Top Secret: MASTER D NO FUKKATSU's booklet is rather charming. It's also a hefty little thing! Has an illustrated explanation for seemingly every possible trick in the grappling arm's repertoire. But not every one, reaching Area 3's secret item cache will remain a mystery until you get swingin'!









Cool scans saved from this cool page.

I really need to get around to scanning all the artwork pages out of the various PC-98 game manuals I've got. Some really good art in there, lots of it comical like the stuff you've posted

[drauch]

^Please do! I own nothing PC-98 related, and probably never will, so I'd love to see some of that stuff.

Cannot be overstated how singularly ferocious SFMD's boxart is. Pretty sure if that ship ran out of ammo it could just bludgeon and stab stuff to death with its hull.

With a title like that, it's pretty damn hardcore alright.

SFMD is clearly the shooting world's Boy Named Sue. ;]

Three awesome arts in a row.

Narc is great, but Slap Fight is facking excellent!



They used the same cover in Japan as well

OH NO, BILL RIZER HEARD ABOUT ALL THE GAY JOKES IN THE "AWESOME STUFF" THREAD AND IS GONNA HUNT DOWN AND KILL US AFTER HE FINISHES THAT BLUNT - oh god Lance, stop holding your gun like you're pleasuring a footlong dongpole. >_<

Have you tried the demo? If you like old-timey JRPGs you should enjoy it (if you don't it probably won't convert you though).

Awesome japanese-style artwork:

Cool stuff - I know I've seen a few of those before, but the majority were new to me. Still like the Dracula X one best, the plague of rats is a very nice touch.

Been liking the Mark III Shinobi boxart lately. Grew up with the blah US box so the vivid colour and well-composed fight scene surprised me. Also nice that it actually reflects Joe's in-game character design.

[Captain]

Anyone notice that hes stabbing a sword with a sword?

MAHJONG COP





I hope our plucky Asian protagonist knows just what he's getting into taking on Ahnuld, Robocop and Dirty Harry! He gon get shot!

I've had a soft spot for this since I first laid eyes on it. All of the Konami MSX games had excellent artwork, but this is my favourite

This image (the same for the Japanese PSX) was a classic to me the very first time I saw it. So simple, so awesome. I was pissed when I saw the US version...

Not exactly video game art, but I have this hanging in my home:

I also have a small canvas oil painting of Vega from SF. It was my wife's Christmas gift the first year we were married.
