Oh God

Why are they recycling the boxart of old Speccy games??!!

[PeteJ]

Hey I like that Katamari boxart




(gotta love that mean lookin' sheep!)

[Mayhem]

@Spatial... not just the Joe Blade cover (which I recognised straight off)...

[PeteJ]

Well the Pheonix logo and Players Premier badge are pretty much the same, so its probably the same company!

That's no excuse for Hamster Ball though.

Did that Lion just kick the Monkey in the nads?

Forget the lion, what he hell is that hippo on the right doing to that warthog.

Blatant ripoff of the football scene in bedknobs & broomsticks

[Jakeway]

Isnt that Bedknobs And Broomsticks?

[Kubrick]

lol, Do these PAL PS2 games really exist? Those boxes are comedy gold!

I think that's what's technically known as `the reach around`

Someone has to find some screens of the PS2 version of Joe Blad... erm, I mean Street Warrior. Bet with all its power the PS2 can't blend colours into one another like a Speccy could

There's no screenshots but these guys sure are churning out an amazing number of titles.

Fair play to them though, the games are only selling for ?8.
"Europes only super-budget publisher".





I know, hard to believe.

They've got 'Dynamite 100' coming out soon. Reminds me of the old Cascade 'Cassette 50' on the Speccy. Some of those titles have got to be Japanese, haven't they?

Plus....

Carwash Tycoon?

PS: I like how on that Maniac Mole cover, they've put a mole's head as the 'O'. Very classy.

I didn't know the US and PAL versions of Mega Man 2 had different box arts. I had the Euro version. That was my first game ever - after Mario. Anyway, it's interesting to point out how the artists have no idea what the game is about. For example, you can see Dr. Light hiding behind Crash Man, ordering him to get Mega Man.

I really have no idea what the Western passion with "realism" in games is for. These are games for God's sakes. Has there been any improvement lately? Most often then not the Jap ones are much, much better.

Great thread.

That pig at the bottom is so getting goosed.

It's like some zoophilia game thing. Even the Rhino in the bottom left is getting ready for some.
