[NKF] Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 (edited) Agreed. Anyone seen the really early American version for Megaman (Rockman)? *shudder* That's just one example I can think of off the top of my head. That image up there was for the European release of the game if I'm not mistaken. Mind you, I'm quite glad the image of Mars with the excessively souped up Avenger became the more popular and more widely accepted cover. The one above is quite misleading. There was also a rather unique cover for the Japanese release of UFO (I think for the Playstation) if anyone can find that. - NKF Edited October 3, 2007 by NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 (edited) You can see the packaging for the 3 PSX versions at Stewart Whyte's website. Pity the Japanese cover was linked to the old XCommand website which no longer has it. Anyhow, the thumbs give you an idea what it looks like. You can view the covers for the other versions at Moby Games. Maybe it's just me, but I prefer the European cover over the ones for the US. That's probably from being desensitized due to seeing them so often. (It's even used for the OSG's cover). But come on, the Avenger has rust spots on it and looks nothing like the real thing. The Star Wars looking "pod" on the right doesn't add much either. The US PSX cover is much better though. - Zombie Edited October 3, 2007 by Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munkeh Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Aye, I quite like the us psx ones for the sketches of the troopers in the b/g. I quite like what they've done with the personal armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says now available for xp and vista.....I think I might buy since I cant get collectors edition to work on vista and I can only play on ME.
