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.

All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
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.
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.
No generative AI art.

I really liked this artwork, is one of my favorite pieces of video game art.

The box art on the SNES game was a small portion of this:

A while back, tried digging up a copy but couldn't, spent a long time looking online and was delighted when I finally managed to dig the submitted image up: good-quality and high-resolution. Just remembered this community, and putting it up in case anyone else is in the same boat.
