Went to dinner at the Korean BBQ last night for the first time. It was pretty good!

The artwork of #PrinceOfPersia by Hirohide Shikishima used on the cover of the #Fujitsu #FMTowns, #Sega #MegaCD/#SegaCD, #NEC #PC98, #PCEngineCD, and #SharpX68000 releases. This is a v2. Removed logo, taking few liberties, applying some clean/retouch without upscaling.

Got Crow Country for #PlayStation 5 on promo. Too bad the #NintendoSwitch version wasn't or else I would've bought that one. It has a manual and a double sided poster (map and flyer). In this day and age, to me this classifies as a Collector's Edition.😂

The artwork of Air Zonk used on the cover of the #NEC #TurboGrafx16 in North America. It was also used for advertisement in South Korea and a calendar in Gekkan PC Engine - Issue 53 - February 1993. Removed logo/text, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch process. [1/2]

Went out for an afternoon stroll and guess what? Bought another #Sega #Dreamcast game! Deadly Skies aka AirForce Delta (JP/NA), a game often compared to Ace Combat for its similarities. Now I gotta get the Xbox and PS2 follow-ups.

The artwork of Ninja Ryūkenden GB: Matenrō Kessen aka Ninja Gaiden Shadow / Shadow Warriors used on the cover of the Japanese #GameBoy release. Removed logo, taking some liberties, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch combo. No clue on the artist, any info let me know!

Finished Sword of the Vagrant on #PlayStation5 (PS4 BC). Really nice mix of Dragon's Crown ambience with Muramasa's gameplay! It has some difficulty spikes in some spots but overall really solid game. Usually it's dirt cheap on PSN but the physical edition has a nice A3 poster.

My attempt to restore the picture of a diorama sculpted by Hideo Nakajima based on Masanori Yoshihawa illustrations. It was used on the cover of Monster World II: Dragon's Trap for the #Sega #GameGear release in Japan. Removed seam between pages, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch combo.

Celebrating the release of Super C's port to the #SuperNintendo by infidelity, here's a mock-up PAL box as usual!

The artwork of Alvaleak Boukenki used on the cover of the #NEC #PC98 release in Japan as well as for advertising in magazines. Used different sources to fill in missing bits, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch combo. No clue on the artist, any info let me know!

Finished #RobocopRogueCity - Unfinished Business on #PlayStation5. A really nice follow-up to the previous game with more of the same but quite a bit shorter. It sure was fun to wreak havoc with ED-209!

Favorite Zelda game? Why this little gem, of course. #TheLegendOfZelda #Zelda40th

The artwork of Götzendiener by Takami Takai used for advertising the #NEC #PCEngine CD release in Japan. Removed text/logos, taking very few liberties, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch process.

Went down for an afternoon stroll and got a "new" #PlayStation 2 game! Thing is, I already had #Contra: Shattered Soldier in my library but my copy was so beatdown (scratched DVD, no manual, cover most likely eaten and spat out by a dog) it probably came from war.

The artwork of Dragon Half by Ryusuke Mita used on the cover of volume 2 manga in Spain (as far as my knowledge goes). Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.

Today for something different here's the artwork of #DoubleDragon II: The Revenge used on the bootleg release (dubbed Turbo Game Cartridge) for the #NES in Brazil. Restored by removing text/logos, taking liberties in some spots, and applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch combo.

And there's still these two games that also need to be brought back to the spotlight for everyone to enjoy, @konamina.bsky.social: #Snatcher and #Policenauts.

And while we're at it @konamina.bsky.social, Hard Corps Uprising also deserves some renewed love!

C'mon @konamina.bsky.social, it's about time.

So here's a request: does anyone has Deadcraft and can/is willing to provide a good scan of the cover? PS4 cover is also okay.

The artwork of #Aliens by Denis Beauvais used for advertising the arcade game by #Konami in Japan. It was used before for the cover of issue 1 published by Dark Horse Comics. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.

Yeah, so I bought #Earthion on #NintendoSwitch...😅 I wanted the regular edition but what the heck! The double sided poster is amazing, a CD soundtrack in this day and age is a bliss, and the key chain is also really cool. Maybe one day I'll get this signed by @yuzokoshiro.bsky.social... 🥹

Went out for a stroll and bought #VirtuaFighter 4 Evolution for #PlayStation 2. This is my undisputed favorite Sony console, that's for sure. Now I'm missing VF 3 and 5.

I'm sensing a pattern here...

A piece of artwork from The Ninja Warriors which I have no idea where it was used (if I have to guess, most likely on a Japanese magazine) or who's the artist. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.
