Oh and by the way, there was some more fan art from 1997 you may have seen, also sometimes referred to as official artwork. But it's from the same source -- a fan who played Gold & Silver's demo, then did his best to recreate what he'd seen in the demo.

il male non è mai radicale, ma estremo, non possiede né profondità né dimensione demoniaca. Esso può invadere e devastare il mondo, perché si espande sulla superficie come un fungo. Esso sfida, il pensiero, perché il pensiero cerca di raggiungere la profondità..
