this Salamander artwork is very awesome, maybe it is old promotional flyer though

That's one crazy poster. Looks like it's inspired by the most popular action movies, and even a few non-action movies like Dragnet. They definitely took the throw everything into a blender approach with that one.

Indeed, the mixup makes me think more of Gain Ground.

The giant baphomet dude totally is in the game though!

That might be the best cover ever.

Is that the PAL version? I don't remember anything that horrible in the US, and I've followed that game for a while. The Japanese version features some pretty hot guys, I have to admit. Nothing but muscles and tank tops.

Hard game. I owned the PCB for a while. Only got to 4-2 on 1 credit.

I think that's the artwork for some of the computer versions, including the Amiga version.

Everything Gitaroo Man is so good that I can't decide what to paste in. Mitsuru Nakamura is the artist's name, apparently.

I was thinking the same thing. The star needs to be upside down though. They chickened out on that one.

Wasn't that a joke "cover" making fun of how Japanese game artwork was commonly reinterpreted for the US market?

Ah, the 1980s when you could get away with anything and the Satanic-Panic was on - ah, what a time

My favourite Green Beret artwork so far.

Although without a knife in sight, it can be considered false advertisement.

Japan!

Why could this one have not been released anywhere else...

Side Arms, immense. LOVE those angled laser barrages. (click for full res)

Yee boyyy!

US version of AC Top Gunner looks cool, just like usual old Konami posters

Damn, dude on the right doesn't pass the KONTORA hawtness test! Guess he must've been off on a porno shoot that day.

I really like the FDS cover art ("The Red Fortress"). Nice clean art with lots of energy and personality. I hate the FDS though. :[

G.I. JOOOEEE

Looks like something out of Nintendo Wars franchise. Speaking of which...

^ rugged stuff. Looks almost like Bill Duke there!

PC-88 Silpheed, professional as all hell.

Reminds me of X68000 Phalanx and, tangentially, Assault Suits Valken. I like it when fantastic war machines are depicted "realistically" with ground crew, in hangars, etc. Nice contrast to the more typical depiction of warbirds in full flight with all arms blazing. Can't recall any pure console STGs employing this dryly industrial style, offhand.

Now this is a boxart I wouldn't be ashamed showcasing (reminds me of the first Suikoden cover and times when well-drawn eyes weren't uncommon in Japanese "video game artwork").

Apparently digital version doesn't either.
