I'll say it again: I love the artwork! So retro! My favorite part is the bird perched on another bird, which is perched on the truck. The loot in the back of the Jeep is pretty sweet too.

You can thank my womanoid for the exciting cover art.  She somehow pulled that off out of my description of "draw the dude flying up a hill in a jeep, with loot in the back"


and Paul did the coloring.  Had I done it, it'd look like Insanity.   We don't want that.

Here's the development of the cover art, for those interested in this sort of thing.

That is hands down the coolest homebrew packaging art! Love everything about it, especially the 80's style font!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

The 80s were my era. Even if I try to do something modern, it ends up looking 80s. I'm stuck there.

I live 3 hours from Arkhan, how could I not get mine first!?

Damn post office will always be a mystery to me...

ReVival Chase is coming from 30 minutes away from me, so I bet I get my copy of that first!

Its because the USPS is retarded and likes to dawdle around with priority because they're doofy.

I'm inclined to agree with, & endorse this statement! :)
