The manual for the Sega CD version uses a new artwork for Jean-Jack Gibson, but it's actually the wrong character. It's supposed to be Freddie Gibson, a suspect in Act 1. The same artwork was also used for a trading card, where it was published full color as well. 3/4

@Tinpotgamer Basically Ken went to the U.S. for a training journey, but ended up neglecting it after he began dating Eliza and only got motivated when received a challenge from Ryu. I think he was supposed to be like T. Hawk in the sense that he's not from the country he's representing.

There's a similarity between the manga AKIRA and the videogame Snatcher that isn't mentioned often. The English version were very late and because of this, the dates in the story were changed in order to keep their settings in the future (from 2042 to 2047 and 2019 to 2030). 1/3

The NES, Lynx and Genesis versions of Gauntlet all used the packaging illustration (apparently drawn by Joseph Chiodo), but it seems Thor the Warrior's loincloth was too scandalous for Atari, so they gave him a modest skirt in their version of the cover.

The credits for the X68000 version of Akumajō Dracula, as well as Super Castlevania IV and Castlevania: The Adventure, credits a group known as "Kurokotai" under Special Thanks. A kuroko (黒子) is a term for a behind-the-scenes supporter.

@sftoonscreens I always wondered where the show's creators got the idea for the Dragon Warriors, 'cause they certainly weren't from any of the actual Double Dragon games.

@Nitroid nobody:

me: Snake's Revenge is not the stain to the Metal Gear name some fans believe it is, but a legitimately good game that only has its bad reputation due to the fact it's not the "true" sequel. It had decent reviews back in the day and the creator of Castlevania also worke-

To give a bit of context to the last few tweets, here's how Rick Taylor and Hell Mask changed in each Splatterhouse game.

#LRT I have to wonder if Frank Cirocco also did the US promotional art for Forgotten Worlds and Mercs, since the stye seems so similar to his Final Fight and Ghouls 'n Ghosts pieces. I found the original Mercs art online, but the signature is too small.

@BadHumans @HokutoAndy It's not a particularly large section though. Only four pages and aside from those character illustrations by Nakamura, it's just the same promotional art that you can also find on the official Metal Gear Ghost Babel website. I would still recommend the book though.
