The artwork of Target Earth used on the cover of the #SegaGenesis release in North America as well as for advertising. Removed text/logos, taking few liberties, and applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch process. No clue on the artist, any info let me know!
35 years ago, I was having a whale of a time with Konami's The Simpsons. The first game based on what was fast becoming a TV phenomenon, this four-player beat 'em up was great fun to play and looked as much like the cartoon as any game could back then. A multiplayer classic!
RUN SABER for the SNES (Horisoft/Atlus/1993) has this cool scene where you hang on an 'infected' F-16, very over the top.
The game is an homage to Capcom’s Strider, featuring fluid controls, neat visuals, and two-player co-op.
It's an SNES exclusive title and often featured in 'hidden gem' lists.

The Taito WOWOW: The Cancelled Satellite Console That Never Was 🚀
Back in 1992, arcade giant Taito teamed up with ASCII and JSB (owners of the WOWOW satellite channel) to create something revolutionary. The Taito WOWOW was a CD-ROM based console designed to download arcade-perfect ports of Taito hits like Darius, Bubble Bobble, and Parasol Stars straight to your home via satellite(!).
It used modified arcade hardware for near-identical quality, with games streamed or stored in the receiver’s memory. A prototype was shown at the Tokyo Toy Show, but technical hurdles (slow download speeds, high costs, error correction) and market challenges led to its quiet cancellation.
A bold vision of on-demand gaming years ahead of its time. Proof that Taito dreamed big! What do you think could it have changed the ’90s console wars?
