Anyone ever see these art slides?

I just got a package today with a bunch of Misc game stuff I won here

<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3528752002&category=187&rd=1" target="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3528752002&category=187&rd=1</a>

in the package came 2 art slides one of Lee from Aggresors of Dark Kombat the Other of Kyo and Gang I think the pic from kof 94. What I was wonder if anyone else has seen these and if so is there a set of 94 games or prehaps a set from the 2 games Different character shots. Given the nature of the items I imagine they were give out or maybe used to promote the game and the guy swipe them from someone wink I emailed him asking but have not heard back yet. The scans came out so so on my scanner I do not have a slide attachment.

now all I need is about 30 more different ones and a slide projector

Heard back from seller

"The art slides I got from a fanzine
editor friend a long time ago. He may have gotten them from SNK since he did
have contacts there, but I don't really know."

well pretty cool. crazy the stuff you find sometimes.

Who Knows,

I could Guess, prehaps a presentation where they are discussing the characters concepts for a up and coming game. After they were used some one snaged them then handed them out to friends.

Just a guess though

it will be hard for me to get a better scan w/o a Slide adapter.

The mystery makes the find even cooler.

They look like original art proofs for Neo game and book artwork. Dion has boxes of these lying in his garage. When I visited him at last years CGE (aka the great Proto disaster), he cracked open a couple of packets right on the spot for me. They looked identical, except that they contained images for KOF98, World Heroes Perfect, and Gowcaiser. The original markings on the sealed packets were all in handwritten Japanese and the entire box had SNK shipping logos over it.

Sincerely,

Mikhail

These art slides were sent from SNK Japan to the local distributors which then passed them on to the games magazines for inclusion in previews/reviews of Neo titles.

I personnally still have art slides from

Kabuki Klash
Savage Reign
Fatal Fury 3

and some Capcom games like Marvel vs. Capcom. I can make some scans if you like to see them.
