Best Poster Ever?

[ChrisBEANS]

Prehistoric Isle in 1930 - SNK

Not the best game ever (great one though!), but easily the single best poster ever. Fact.

If you think there is a better poster, let’s see it!!

(Also, any ideas where I might either find a copy to buy or a really high resolution scan to get printed??)

I had an original Japanese PCB. The title screen sequence was very cool!

There really is something more interesting about katakana or kanji, huh??

Nice tries guys, but I’m standing by PI for best poster.

Never even heard of Dino Rex! I’ll give it a look.

Edit: Actually, this is very cool too. Can’t even find it on the net. Just in a book of SNK posters I have…

Bit of a theme here. Does the poster need to feature a dinosaur to qualify?

You have to lean in to the world of the 'rex, resist it and you only face destruction!

Metal Slug and Cads & Dinos for the win!

I still have the posters but sadly not the cabs

 

[geotrig]

at least you had some sense left franco !

 

[Fantazia2]

Moving away from the Dino theme, I give you Grudge Match.

It's not a requirement, but I reckon inclusion of a dinosaur gets you on the list automatically (cue people posting Bubble/Puzzle Bobble posters to prove me wrong!)

Good catch!! I looked again, and it's for the Saturn version

Is that Marky Mark Whalberg on the Final Fight poster??

 

[ChrisBEANS]

I can find repro copies of the western version of the poster in the first post, but not the Japanese.
The Japanese is much, much cooler.

Try an AI upscaler. I find they do quite a spectacular job in a lot of cases
