For a few other games that I've played:

Lode Runner for the Mac

Box art:

Screenshot:

Dark Queen of Krynn

Box art:

Screenshot (and this is if one had the fancy color version of the game):

Spaceward Ho!

Box art:

Screenshot:

Mac/PC games normally had (small) screenshots from the game on the back of the box, so someone browsing a store could see what the game itself looked like when being played.

Video Game Art

Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.

This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.

The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.

  1. All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
  2. Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
  3. If your post is fanart, include a link to the artist in post body, if you can. You may also ping @saucechan@ani.social to have it attempt to find the source for you, and provide it in a comment.
  4. MARK ANY TEXT SPOILERS, as for art, do not post content that outright spoils key moments of a games narrative. Content that can only be understood with the context of having played the game, is ok.
  5. No generative AI art.
