PCE covers worth making into framed pictures
« on: October 08, 2013, 09:36:49 AM »
The PCE has no lack of awesome covers.

While wildly dreaming about my, some day to be built game room, I started thinking about Obey-centric art and what better art than cover art?

My first couple of runner ups are (in no particular order.)

















obviously not being familiar with all the games, I'm looking at your PCEFX hive brain to show me some cool cover art, worth printing and framing.

You can actually order the Winds of Thunder cover as a poster from Windy Gaming:

They also have Ys Book I & II.  I will be getting those one day. :D

EDIT:  I've always wanted Star Parodier as a poster:

NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

God, I've always loved that huge ship hiding in the clouds on the soldier blade cover. It just looks so...menacing.
Nothin beats the real thing.

It's pretty pimp and definitely a stand out!

You guys got some great suggestions! Keep 'em coming!

Thank you all.

Soldier Blade and Winds of Thunder are my two favorite covers.

The artwork to Winds of Thunder is in Masamune Shirow's art book Intron Depot, for years I've been meaning to get a hi-res scan from the art book then blow it up to poster size and get it framed.



I've always thought the art on the back of the case and CD of Exile II Wicked Phenomenon was amazing, would like to own a copy of the game,  I bought and owned it back in the day when it was released.
