Cover Art PCE vs Turbo Grafx (Image Heavy)

[spenoza]

I do like that the US LoT cover has improved contrast. I like that it brings out more of the detail of the art. The Japanese WoT (FART!) cover looks washed out because of the brightness and contrast.

Do we know that's actually the case? Is it just a matter of who scanned the art here, how they scanned it, the condition of the copies they scanned, or variations over different print runs. I have multiple copies of some CDs/records that vary in print quality and contrast even though they are from the same era, publisher, etc.

I know what I see. I have two scans to examine and that's what I think of them. If there are variations in print quality, great.

JP Silent Debuggers: Is that where they got the design from Master Chief from?

US Ninja Spirit: Looks like they took the Japanese art and recreated it in Paint on an Apple IIgs.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the JP Silent Debuggers cover. I don't like either Ninja Spirit cover...you'd think at least the ninja on the JP cover would look more like the in game main character.

They probably didn't think the character was Ninja-y enough.

Never seen the Japanese covers for Paranoia and Veigues before. They both kick ass, especially Veigues! The US cover for Psychosis is cool too, I also think "Psychosis" is a slightly cooler name than "Paranoia".

I prefer the Japanese cover in both cases

I kinda like the US Alien Crush, but there's no comparison between Nectaris and MM, the JP artwork is awesome.

Was the US Bravoman cover done by the same person who brought us this atrocity by any chance ?

Not a lot of differences!

and World Court Tennis

[SignOfZeta]

I've always loved the JP World Court Tennis cover. The US cover seems to be trying to give the game some kind of realistic/grown-up image which, if you've played the game, you'd know is a ridiculous idea.

Dig the PCE World Court Tennis cover!

Is there anyone else that agrees with me that the US Valis II cover is nicer than the PCE? The PCE cover is so stale and flat, while the American is more fleshed out, imaginative, and colorful.

I think the Japanese Valis III cover is even worse, but at least the characters aren't crudely drawn like the US.

The US Chew-Man-Fu looks more badass then Be Ball.  Surprised they kept the Asian looking person on the cover and didnt turn it into a Caucasian fella.
