I do wonder how much game publishers made off of these back in the day

A photo of the European Dreamcast version of the game Resident Evil 2, showing the front of the case next to an open page of the instruction manual promoting their hint telephone number for the game with text saying: “Need hints..? then please call 09067 53 50 33” “calls are charged at 75p per minute and the maximum call length is 4 minutes. This service is available to residents of the UK only.”

Iconic queen of Trek!
Screenshot from the Star Trek: Voyager episode “Macrocosm” showing Captain Janeway looking like a badass action hero akin to Ellen Ripley from the Alien film franchise. She is posed holding a phaser rifle while wearing a sleeveless vest and a backpack while looking mildly grimy from all her action heroism.

Like here, it looks “ok” but what the hell with the possessing and facial expressions? I can not imagine Phil pulling that face

For reference here is the back of the box for the remake NieR Replicant and Nier Automata (at least in the UK. And yes I still need to play them I know)
Photograph of the back of the box for Nier Replicant on PS4 showing off a more intriguing description of the world and lore of the game to grab the potential audience “A TALE OF LOVE AND DESPAIR THE YEAR IS 3465 - SHADOW MONSTERS AND A LETHAL DISEASE THREATEN THE SURVIVAL OF HUMANITY. WHILE A CRUMBLING WORLD ATTEMPTS TO REBUILD, A BROTHER MAKES A SORROWFUL PROMISE TO HIS SISTER, AND THREE UNLIKELY COMPANIONS WILL UNCOVER THE REAL COST OF THE TRUTH.” “The origins of NieR masterfully upgraded” “A fascinating storyline with secrets to unveil” “Stylish swordplay battles and powerful magic” Back of the box of Nier Automata detailing the premise and features “Glory to Mankind Humanity has been driven from the Earth by mechanical beings from another worki. In a final effort to take back the planet, the human resistance sends a force of android soldiers to destroy the invaders. Now a war between machines and androids rages on... A war that could soon unveil a long-forgotten truth of the world.” “9S and A2 to reclaim Earth” “Battel it out in high-speed combat” “Enjoy a desolate open world ruled by powerful machines”

Here are some photos I just grabbed from a quick search (kept getting the platinum versions which is our version of Greatist Hits so no disc art)

That's odd cos the European release has our original cover art on the reverse side

Inspired by the recent new Onimusha game announcement and the upcoming @retroblast.bsky.social ep I decided to finally play Onimusha 1. Technically twice as I've been pingponging between the Pal PS2 edition with original music in English & HD remaster in JPN with the new music. Just beat HD Tonight

The “joys” of pal gaming (look at those borders!) Not shown it running 17% slower than the NTSC version
Photo of the European PAL format release of the PlayStation 2 game “Onimusha Warlords” being played on a PAL TV showing the extra letter box borders from the game not being converted to the higher pal resolution of 578 lines so the 480 line image gets squished Photo of the title screen of the PlayStation 2 game Onimusha Warlords being played on a CRT TV

Just something about the word choices please me
Screen shot from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Depicts the introduction of the first Boss Gohma, a vaguely giant spidery looking monster with one central eyeball. Text on screen reads Line 1 “Parasitic Armored Arachnid” Line 2 “GOHMA” (bigger font size and bold)
