Classic Examples of Great Sideart (or Your Favorites)?
« on: August 12, 2008, 12:51:23 pm »
What are your favorite examples of classic quality sideart?

There's certainly no shortage of marquee art (and even CPO) to study for design, but good sideart pics seem to be few and far between...

So I'm putting out a call for everyone's favorite sideart.  What are the ones you feel really do the job and do it right? 

Great use of layout/color/branding?

Eye-popping?

Awesome character usage?

Pretty much all of the major Atari cabs from 1980+ to around 1985 had great art, especially the vector games, Centi/Millipede, and of course Star Wars.

wow, Total Carnage was quietly one of my favorite games on SNES but I never saw it in an arcade. That sideart is fantastic!  :applaud:

Im guessing from the control layout that you played with 2 sticks? on SNES all 4 buttons were mapped to a different direction of gunfire.
