and

Chrono Trigger was one of the rare occasions where the US boxart was better than the JP boxart. Even though it shows Marle using Fire magic instead of Ice magic.

I do. Very hilarious bootleg including one great engrish manual.

Btw I love those old Lucasfilm Games covers. Got Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island 1 & 2 as posters.

How the cover alone of this game didn't move a million copies and yield a straight-to-vhs film adaption, I'll never know...

I freaking love Shatter hand. If you have not already played Shadow Of The Ninja for NES check it out. It uses the same engine as Shatter Hand and was even made by the same dev team. Of course you also get lots of rad Shatter Hand sound effects.

This probably deserves a sub-thread to this - awesome Japanese artwork vs awful/trashy western artwork for same title. There would be many a neo-geo offender.

Dude that commercial was amazing!
Also God Hand is such a fun fucking game, if you haven't tried it you're really missing out.

SNKorSWM · Aug 11, 2014

I am amused,how the u.s cover art made them look like dwarfs but with fat heads :lolz:

I always loved the PCE box art on SF2:CE, which is actually just the cropped Jap arcade flyer.

I guess I've never looked at it closely, but did Ryu always look drunk in this picture?

I was working @ Gamestop (Electronics Boutique, back in the day) when we got a shipment of those DCs in. I looked at it and was like "WTF?".

Archdesigner03 · Aug 11, 2014

Badass cover for a badass game.
