I've just been having a noodle through a lovely site: Big Box Collection. There, you'll find scans of big box microcomputer and DOS/Win PC games that you can rotate around and have very high levels of detail. You can also see what came inside them, too. bigboxcollection.com/Shelf
I can’t find any information about the cover art for Zaxxon’s Motherbase 2000, but the art style reminds me of Mike Bryan’s, with a sort of mix of photographs and digital painting (as with Sub-Terrania, for example). vgdensetsu.net/mikebryan/

Does anyone have the instruction manual for the Game Gear game Buster Fight on hand? I'd like to see a clearer photo or scan of that page so I can identify the signature (I assume it's Jun Satoh's). archive.org/details/bust...
I assume the artist behind the Japanese box art for Bloody Roar took inspiration from one of these Dracula posters (probably the Japanese one designed by Eiko Ishioka and painted by Haruo Takino).
I'm not too familiar with Gerald Brom's box art catalog, but this was a new one for me: Emperor of the Fading Sun published by SegaSoft in 1997. Credited to Brom on an archived website from the game's developer Holistic Design web.archive.org/web/19970206...
Outlander box art for Genesis and SNES by Stan Watts. Mindscape released the game first for Genesis in 1992 and then for SNES in 1993, but Stan Watts is only credited in the SNES manual: archive.org/details/outl...
A new exhibition dedicated to Takumi Yokooka opens today. He has created a huge number of illustrations for Namco over the past 40 years. I’ll have to update his profile. vgdensetsu.net/takumiyokooka/ xcancel.com/Area51_zek/s...
Marc Ericksen art for the cancelled Sega Genesis game Battle Mission (1990), a WW2 rail shooter that was set to be published by Renovation. Marc's art got usage in a trade show flyer that doesn't appear to be documented online originalvideogameart.com/index.php?/h...
Infocom's Arthur: The Quest for Excalibur (1989) included a Book of Hours insert, which explained the Canonical hours and contained a poem with lines used as passwords in the game. Ed Parker did the art for Book of Hours boards.cgccomics.com/topic/403640...

In addition to work for PSM, Mike Weiringo, with inker Tim Townsend, did the cover for this lone issue of PS Max (from the same publisher as PSM) featuring Croc, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Um Jammer Lammy, and Ape Escape
It looks like Eric JW Lee did indeed reference this Dolph Lundgren still from Masters of the Universe for his Phantasy Star III illustration for GamePro!
VGDensetsu@vgdensetsu.bsky.social · 4mo agoI didn't know Dolph Lungdren played in Phantasy Star 3.
Eric JW Lee did a trio of Phantasy Star paintings for GamePro magazine: for a "ProView" of Phantasy Star SMS in issue 3 (Sept/Oct 1989), even though the game had been out for nearly a year; a Phantasy Star II cover for issue 8 (March 1990); and a Pro Review for PSIII in issue 25 (August 1991)
Julie Bell did art in 1994 that appears to have been intended to advertise the Sega CD release of Samurai Shodown (reportedly for a large cardboard cutout display figure in stores). I think this is Haohmaru in an alternate costume, which aligns to the EUR box art and this in-game image
These have got to borrow from the same reference -- haven't found it yet, though. Probably Boris Vallejo. Mattel's Bad Street Brawler for NES in September 1989 and Slaughter Sport for Genesis in December 1991 @samderboo.com
Heritage has this undated Bill Sienkiewicz art listed as an unknown video game cover draft. Any ideas? comics.ha.com/itm/original...

While Jonny Kwan is most known for his Dick Tracy movie art (1990), I just discovered that he did this rendition of the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie poster. As far as I can tell, the same image (with a color swap) was also used for the press kit. Steve Chorney painted the key art with this design
