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.

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!

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.

Ding ding, nice! Underrated gem for multiplayer IMO.

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

Mobile Light Force / Gunbird.

I didn't guess Earnest Evans but Space Adventure was on my list!

Is that a cover???

I'm squinting, totally at a loss!

Scott

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.

The only thing I could think of with a island of some sort was Solstice, but that ain't it

I’ll be honest, I had to scroll through a lot of covers to find it. LOL

Ffffffudge I wasn't even close, never would have gotten it.

Lunar

It's not really a common cover and definitely a choice crop

Scott

11-Jan-2023(#112)

I really thought y'all would get that one quickly. Whenever I think I have a hard one, y'all guess it almost immediately, but when I think it's easier, it ends up being too hard lol

At first glance, I thought it was the original Final Fantasy. I thought I finally had one! lol

From a different spot on the same cover. It’s a horizontally scrolling *arcade* style shooter.

It’s on a bit of a niche console. We’re made well aware that the games size is 46 MEGS!

Oh, snap! That's NAM-1975. It's a ton and one o' fun! Though, I didn't recognize it at first 'cause the lady's chest and leg weren't covered up with indelible black marker.
