This is a game of kings. Try to pick something iconic or recognizable on the cover, a grey splotch from CoD Ghost probably won’t be much fun for anyone to guess. If the guess is right I’d recommend a macro shot so people can marvel at the full art work together. You know the drill, help your boys and girls out if they’re struggling. What I’ll do, or anyone can do, is if it’s been a day or two without guesses, post in here asking if someone wants to take a crack at it. If not, feel free to post another image. We aren’t keeping score or anything. If the poster wants it guessed on, they’ll probably be posting hints. Also if someone guessed it and hasn’t posted the next one, again, tag them and see if they want to post an image, if non responsive jump in if you like.

Ooo! Good pick, @DarkFact! I love just about anything from Taxan. That's 8 Eyes (Nintendo Entertainment System).

Having trouble embeding the image... Can someone explain how to do it? Image below:

It's like this, @SMY36738, only without the spaces and you actually have to type in the URL instead of the word "photolink":

{img} photolink {img}

DarkFact

Imgur doesn't allow hotlinking like that, right click the image, click copy image link, then paste in between these brackets with no space before and after:

{img}{img}

So it comes out like this

A nice shiny Silver image.

I don't like doing this, but in the spirit of moving things along, I'm going to presume DarkFact would agree.

If you're 100% on you getting it, knock yourself out, no need for kill confirmation. You devil.

Fo' sho': someone's gonna crush this one.

Hmm, I'm trying to Crush it, but I can't exactly pin down where I've seen those balls on the Devil's helmet.

7-Jan-2023(#81)

I'm sorry, @Yoshi. But, it's painfully clear that nobody's gonna get this one without some help. So, give us a hint and turbo-charge this game!

Your comments are tilting the playing field.

I'll bite. Definitely based on nothing but the picture... I totally knew it was Devil's Crush.

Does this mean I get to pick next cover?

This is a Japanese cover for the game, but it was also released in the US for two different systems.

I literally had to google search that in defeat. That's gonna be a hard one I think, every time I dip into Japanese covers I just get dumb looks

That's an interesting cover though!

I was going to give it just a bit in case someone surprised me and got it. It's pretty darn obscure admittedly.. you honestly wouldn't even know it was related to the US game in any way based on the cover. Here's a US cover:

I'll post a clue tomorrow if nobody gets it.

Todd's Adventure in Slime World

I was thinking it was something like Space Adventure or Earnest Evans.

It's a US release PS1 shmup. One of the weirder transformations from Japan to US.

Mobile Light Force / Gunbird.

lol I actually thought this one would be too easy so I went pretty small. I'll post a less cropped pic fairly soon if nobody gets it.
