lucifershalo Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) Another thing to consider in the debate, is the location of the distributor, as some of you know I am in Belgium, most of the produced homebrews are made in USA and Canada, which means for me original price + shipping fees + import tax so one game can cost me as high as $80-90 I gave up of plenty of homebrews recently because of that so it is nice for a change having games coming from France, at a lower price tag than US one and with low shipping fees the boxes are different enough to not mistake the different editions yes I know that many here as more collectors than gamers but think about poor Eurpeans like me Edited August 3, 2023 by lucifershalo 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Steve Jones Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 looks great, your artist is very good. Only thing I would mention, and I struggled with this doing the previous box, the birds are actually "snakebirds", so they don't have legs, they have snake tails. Maybe too late to change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanuki Posted August 3, 2023 Author Share Posted August 3, 2023 You are right and it's a detail we didn't think of ^^ Unfortunately, the boxes are already in print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fits the history of Intellivision releases in Europe…somewhat of lost in translation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Steve Jones Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Haha they still look great, put me on the list for one of each if they are still available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGG Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 All of these look incredible. Amazing artwork! And I have no issue with the birds having legs, the feel of that box art overrides any minor inaccuracy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmadruga Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Not the first time the snakebird is shown with legs… but at least the illustration is much much nicer this time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 For what it is worth, here is the snakebird status on all the other releases: MSX Kuma: Reused the Hudson Soft artwork MSX Honeybee Soft and Aackosoft: Both cheated and printed screenshots instead of cover artwork MSX Sony: Another normal looking bird (might have existed for Sony SMC computers too) Sharp X1: Another screenshot story Commodore 64: Left out the bird entirely I didn't find any cover art for the Hitachi S1. It leaves us with one release out of the original 9 to have a proper snakebird, namely Sinclair's release for the ZX Spectrum: Yay, Europe! (if you count the UK as part of Europe) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I wonder what is more scary, to run on top of a moving train, or to run in front of a moving train. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanuki Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) The poor villain will be thrown onto the tracks and crushed! Video games are violent! BANNISH video games! the ZX version is weird! Look at the hero, looks like di caprio in titanic. He's happy to be here ^^ Edited August 4, 2023 by tanuki 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmadruga Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 In this new artwork I love the introduction of contextual elements that "explain" what happens in the game. For instance, it shows that the action is happening at night. I guess that makes sense, as the background color in the game is black 🙂 Also I love that Snakebirds look sinister and supernatural with their glowing eyes. I can see from the picture that they hang out in power lines along the railroad. Maybe they sit there watching the train pass and some of them decide to fly over it? I never thought of that 🙂 Oh and I also like the color contrast shown on the main character... His face illuminated by the light coming from inside the train, and the back illuminated by the moonlight. Very cool! I just couldn't figure out the black things on the bottom left... like 3 back dots or something, are those intended to illustrate some kind of handle or hatch? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 small balck "things" are feathers. They're hard to see because the image is resized. The artist has really done a great job on this illustration, the lighting is very well worked and the details well thought out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
