Does anyone have any info on the illustration for this cover? It doesn't look anything like the dragon from the movie and throughout the years I've seen on random tshirts and even an album cover for a spanish metal band, which leads me to think it was an original artwork that they picked up and not specifically commissioned for this game. Would love to know who the artist is and if they've done any more rad stuff

It's based on a still from Judge Dredd. I assume at some point the artist wanted to turn it into a shotgun, maybe to match the game better, and did a shitty job blending.

This would be cool if they actually made the moon an actual harvest moon and not a regular moon. Fucking city dwellers.

I remember seeing an anime OVA that had a screenshot similar to this "invisible ghost under cloak" look back in the day and have been trying to find out what it is for 15 years.

So glad that here in the UK we got the classy Final Fantasy cover art.

It almost looks like they couldn't afford an actual model to be Josephine, so they got one of the programmer's girlfriends to pose for the photo instead.

I wouldn't be surprised. That's exactly what they did for Softporn Adventure.

This one straight up pulls a Phalanx. Literally everything on the cover has nothing to do with the game. You play as a fucking twink furry cat with a rainbow shield and it's not even a maze, but it's a breakout clone.
