It remind me of the movie Tron (1982).

You can do it dude. If you can't do it on the US, go for PAL or JP.

Konami had the box art design game down then. I loved their consistency. Their releases had a templated look about the box art. I always loved it.

Wut?

[Anonymous No.8900226]

I think this is the PAL box art.

[Anonymous No.8900334]

>>8898354
the guy who made that had to pay a royalty fee to a sports photographer because Konami saw it in his portfolio and chose it for their blades of steel cover. Still a great cover, just not wholly original. The guy who did this also basically ripped a few other covers for Konami. Pretty much why they're iconic seeming.

That said, I think he sells prints of his work on etsy

[Anonymous No.8900339]

This is still my all time favorite. literal 10/10 graphic design and aesthetics.

>4 "AA" batteries

what did Nintendo mean by this?

[Anonymous No.8900691]

>>8900689
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as AA, is in fact, what the IEC 60086 system calls the size R6, and ANSI C18 calls it 15. It is named UM-3 by JIS of Japan. Historically, it is known as D14 (standard cell) or HP7 (for zinc chloride 'high power' version) in official documentation in the United Kingdom, or a pen cell.

Tom DuBois is the guy who did Blades, as well as a whole bunch of other legendary Konami covers. Had to sell all of his vidya originals to buy a computer if my reading comprehension works

id like to interject for just a monemt
those are batteries and they are included;
the original gameboy dmg-01 model as referred to by many chiptune purists - required four AA batteries at a time.
many games were released for the platform and some even unofficially without nintendos approval/consent!
the gameboy has two buttons, a start, select, and a dpad for directional movement- it was the next logical extenstion of the game&watch style handhelds that were quite popular at the time.

[Anonymous No.8902360]

>>8900841
It's an all too common occurrence across this site, people who post the terms "I want to go back" and "this is what they took from you" have this commercial nostalgia for products of their childhood, like grow the fuck up nigga, Kmart still exists it just got a new coat of paint in the 10 years since you were a fucking child.
There's nothing stopping you from from playing a Gameboy, eating a happy meal and watching that shitty Spiderman movie that you equate with your childhood.

Limited Run has gotten him back a few times now to do classic Konami style cover art for the faux 8-bit Bloodstained spin-offs and the Castlevania anniversary collections.

Still mad I missed out on basically all of the special editions with his art except Bloodstained CotM2.

>I miss my childhood
There's no point to miss, you're a faggot and you fail at life so you pine for a time when you weren't a cynical loser. Commercial products and advertisements from that time trigger this nostalgia hence "I want to go back" posting is mostly commonly directly correlated with some form of product/company/advertisement/consumable.

The American box art also isn't bad by any means, but it has a little too much going on compared to the simple yet detailed look of the Japanese cover.

There was an old Kroger in my hometown that still had the sitting area of the old restaurant it had. The Kmart across the street had been abandoned for years maybe even a decade before becoming a warehouse surplus home goods store. I want a meat and veg plate dinner.
