Oh wow Obari did the Turrican cover? It's a cool game and has nice music, too bad they didn't get him to do all the covers. That or the guy who did the amazing guardian legend cover.

Always reminds me of the JP Guardian Legend cover

It's either this or the JP cover of Megaman Legends 2.

Though those passwords; woof

Don't really have a clue. Japanese box art is more accurate and more interesting to look at.

That's pretty awesome, but I'd argue the Japanese version is better.

Go to the save room, equip "no use" and press secondary fire inside this room.

>How do I git gud at Guardian Legend
Here's some tips:
On ground and in flight missions if you unequip secondary weapon/put in on "no use" - primary machine gun will shoot more bullets on screen.
Every secondary weapon can be upgraded three times. Third upgrade will sometimes capable of destroying projectiles.
Later in the game you will unlock flash bomb weapon with limited amount of uses (that can be sometimes replenished). It's able to destroy small enemies and projectiles but if you'll continue to spam flash bomb on exploding objects it counts as kill. Basically after a while there will appear shit ton of containers for you to pick up in case of emergency.
Sometimes in overworld you can find very difficult bosses that run faster than you. Consider to use double wave/sound weapon while running away.

>what's the strongest weapon?
Slow vibrating orb.

For those who finished original game i recommend pretty neat and dificult romhack called "TGL secret".

>Derboo's a better journalist than Szczepaniak, or anyone else there.
I wish he wasn't so much of a prune though.
>The Japanese cover accordingly features some (en)gross(ing) cyberfetish artwork by Naoyuki Kato, whereas Europeans were greeted by a more subdued space age style design.
Was that passive aggressive comment really necessary? How is this "cyberfetish" anyway?

no guardian legend?

The OST is great, but my favorite is the 6:55 mark. Green Optomon and Red Grimgrin were nightmare fuel for me as a child.

One of my favourite box art.
