The artwork of Genmu Senki Leda by Mutsumi Inomata used on the cover of the Japanese Bluray release, Brazilian VHS release, and most likely some other releases. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.

I really wish there were better and bigger scans of Japanese instruction manual for games from systems such as the Mega Drive and Super Famicom. I'm saying this since I saw the image below on the other social network highlighting the issue but there are more problems than the one shown here.

My attempt to restore the artwork of Fire Shark (aka Same! Same! Same! in Japan) used for arcade flyers in Japan and North America. Removed logo using a different source, taking few liberties, and applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch combo. No clue on the artist.

Finished my 2nd run on Demon's Souls. Definitely more difficult than the 1st one mainly because I went Pure Black World Tendency/Character Tendency to mop up stuff I missed the first time around. Bosses are still a cake walk except for Maneater, that one sucks. 3rd run started!

The artwork of Famicom Tantei Club Part II: Ushiro ni Tatsu Shoujo used for advertising the #SuperFamicom remake in Japan. This game was only available at kiosks via rewritable carts. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied. No clue on the artist, any info let me know!

Dr. Stone's latest episode had some gaming goodness thrown in! A GBA SP, a guy that wrote the entire Dragon Quest code in machine language across a room , and a Famicom... I'm sorry a Senku Computer.😂

My attempt to restore the artwork of Famicom Tantei Club: Kieta Koukeisha - Kouhen used on the cover of the #Famicom Disk System release in Japan. Used different sources to fill in bits, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch combo. No clue on the artist, any info let me know!

The artwork of Dungeon used on the cover of the #NEC #PC88 release in Japan. Still a bit cropped on the right and bottom. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied. No clue on the artist, any info let me know!

Finished Demon's Souls on #PlayStation 5. I haven't played the PS3 original even though I had it for ages but I did enjoyed my time with this remake. Easier than I thought it would be but no walk in the park. Some mechanics like world/char tendency require a bit of management.

The artwork of Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes featured on a poster from a Japanese magazine (can't quite remember which). Two versions: one with the logos, the other clean. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied. No clue on the artist, any info let me know!

The artwork of Blackthorne used for advertising the #GameBoyAdvance release in North America. Removed logos/text/other elements, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch process. No clue on the artist, any info let me know!

Finished #DeadIsland 2 on #PlayStation 5. While the game looks gorgeous, stupidly visceral, and has really nice combat, the story is pointless and some characters are obnoxious. Also didn't enjoy the card system. I guess the first Dying Light set the bar too high for me.😅

Used different sources to fill in bits, taking few liberties and applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch combo. No clue on the artist, any info let me know!

Continuing the quest to make custom covers for all my digital #NintendoSwitch games, here's one for Lords of Exile!

The artwork of Panzer World Galient by Yoshiyuki Takani featured on Dual Magazine, Spring 1985. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.

Finished Lords of Exile on #NintendoSwitch. Really cool game paying homage to the 8-bit era with nice visuals and music! Playing as Gabriel feels like classic Castlevania while playing as Lyria is more fast paced and resembles Shinobi. A shame it never got a physical release.

The artwork of #AlisiaDragoon by Greg Winters used on the cover of the #SegaGenesis and #MegaDrive (PAL/Brazil) releases. This is a v2 of my previous restoration using a much better source, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch process.

Three years ago this was my April's Fool on the other social network. Some people weren't happy.🤣

The artwork of #AceCombat 3: Electrosphere used for advertising on Japanese magazines. Restored by removing logos/text/other elements, taking a few liberties, and applying the usual clean/retouch process without upscaling. This is most likely the work of Mamoru Takahashi.

Just watched Resurrection: A Biohazard Story. Really well made fan movie, and even though the people involved are not actors in real life, this movie is miles better than any official live action RE stuff up to this date. It's on YouTube, go watch it.

The artwork of World Heroes Perfect used on the cover of the #SNK #NeoGeo AES/CD (Japan/NA), #SegaSaturn (Japan), and arcade flyers. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied. No clue on the artist, any info let me know!

Finished #WoLong: Fallen Dynasty on #PlayStation 5. Fantastic game with stellar combat mechanics (the parry is *chef's kiss*) and much easier than Nioh and others alike. For me it felt like an action game with light Souls stuff thrown in. It was also my 100th Platinum trophy!

The artwork of #Transformers by Go Nonaka featured in Newtype magazine March '87 issue. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.

Celebrating the release of #FridayThe13th Revisited for the #GameBoyColor by Zeichi Games, here's my take at an European mock-up box and cartridge label sticker.

I've rewatched Versus for the first time in like 20 or so years and I had forgotten how this guy has the best energy!😂

The artwork of ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron by Kirk Henderson used on the cover of the #SegaGenesis and PAL #MegaDrive releases. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.

New request! Does anyone has this TOTAL! Magazine Probotector II poster and has the means/will to scan it? It's the most complete art I've seen for this particular piece so far and would pretty much make for a great restoration.

The artwork of The Story of King Aress by Seisaku Kano most likely used to promote the #NEC #PC98 release on magazines in Japan. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.

The artwork of The Legendary Axe by Ryo Nakamura featured on a Japanese magazine (can't remember which one, most likely a #PCEngine related one). Removed text, taking few liberties, applying the usual clean/retouch combo without upscaling.

Celebrating the release of #PhoenixWright: Ace Attorney's first case for the #GameBoy by @gameboydemakes.bsky.social, here's my take on a custom mock-up European box. Decided to use different art assets other than the key art for the DS version.

A piece of artwork by Inomata Mutsumi featured in a special supplement on Technopolis magazine, February 1989. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.

Is it just me or most Wo Long players don't know how to proper play the game? I find lots of warrior's graves in places with regular enemies and/or occasional bigger ones. I mean, you can stealth your way for most of the game and it's so easy to parry. What gives?

The artwork of Super Family Tennis (Smash Tennis in Europe) used on the cover of the #SuperFamicom release. Removed logos, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch combo. Not the best source so I'll do a v2 if something better pops up. No clue on the artist, any info let me know!

The artwork of Stronghold: Koutei no Yousai by Kensuke Suzuki used on the cover of the #Fujitsu #FMTowns and #NEC #PC98 releases in Japan. Restored by adding in the missing bits from other sources, removing logos, and applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch process.

Finished #EmbersOfMana on #GameBoy. Despite being a romhack for FF Adventure this game feels like an official entry in the Mana series with new visuals, music, and gameplay mechanics (character switching with light puzzle elements). I'll definitely make a repro cart for myself!

My attempt to restore a #StreetFighter Alpha poster featured in an issue of Saturn Fan magazine with artwork by Bengus. Removed the Saturn Fan logo from the top and the fold mark in the middle, applying the usual clean/retouch process with no need for upscaling.
