box art maybe, but what the hell, the back cover.. one half of the screen shots are of the screen opening with no indication of what the game is about.. the other half is the literal first second of 2 stages, and hes not even moving. In a game about an animal that MOVES FAST. who thought that was a good idea?!

I agree, and I was waiting for somebody to respond with it. The JP one is great, but isn't very representative of the game beyond "mechanical girl" and could serve as inspiration for "Tetsuo: The Iron Mistress" if there ever was such a spin-off. EU cover captures the tone of the game perfectly.

Honestly I feel the developers of both games used rather unrelated works Kato must have had lying around. I'm not sure why they chose that specific piece for The Guardian Legend, or why Digan no Maseki's cover had to be similar. Kato's original work for Digan no Maseki seems to be the digitized cutscene shots you see in the game's opening (PC-98 version with crap sound): http://polsy.org.uk/play/nico/?vidid=sm24261793

Most of Kikazaki's serialized work were done through the '80s and '90s.

Her name has been credited in a few educational war manga anthologies published by Gakken through the 2000s, the most recent one being published in 2012.

Finally got an okay scan of this from Suruga-ya. Game's the last from Artec, co-founded by a light novel writer/game designer who once worked with Kazuro Morita at Enix. King Breeder's one of the first game Sakimoto and Iwata collaborated on, and they really pushed the YM2608 to its limits; game itself mixes Wizardry and monster breeding.

Man, we NEED more boxart like these today. With all the promotion, gameplay, and screenshots we can see of games before they can come out it shouldn't matter if a cover's illustrated and might be seen as misleading. Album collectors get to have great pictures and paintings for their vinyl covers, we deserve the same. Especially when it has the potential to launch the career of an artist.

Hand-drawn illustrations for vg boxart is a pretty rare sight nowadays. The advent of highly detailed CGI kinda made using illustrations for packaging a moot point. Why commission an illustrator to do your boxart when you can just whip up a promotional render that looks like it came straight from the game?

Same anon here. Looks like Ms. Kikazaki did another short manga for this Kindle anthology that was published last July titled Jitsuroku Inbou File (実録陰謀File, True Conspiracy File), which seems to revolve around conspiracy theories and other weird shit. Pic unrelated.

Oh wow, I instantly recognized Keiichi Ohta's style on that cover, amazing! I didn't know he had done artwork for vidya.

Gotta have to check that game out.

Because in the west everyone was crazy about ugly CGI artwork to emphasize that the game was 3D, the same happened with US/EU PS1 and Saturn games for the most part.
Best box art from 5th gen is usually japanese.

He's an artist who collaborated with various musicians and labels in Japan, mostly during the 80s "indies boom".
His most famous work is probably with the band Guernica, along with Jun Togawa and Koji Ueno, where he wrote all lyrics and was also the mastermind behind the concept and of course all the art design including the album covers.

He also designed the famous Nagomu Records logo, which was one of the most important independent music labels in Japan during the 80s.

I found the game's ROM. Anything I should know before starting it?

My moonspeak is very limited, but from what I've been able to figure out by playing it's about a grad student nonchalantly traveling back through time to travel the silk road with Marco Polo so he can sell cheap shit in "Zipangu" and become rich. Someone spoiled the ending for me (which I won't for y'all) but it has a really dark and bizarre ending.

Another one by Natsume that's really weird (and the same interface) is Idol Hakkenden - it has a really good soundtrack too.
