Halloween! Nightmare King! Ghost! Ghost Pepper! Wednesday! And now the Jack-O-Lantern Whopper. I'm the only person in the world with a complete collection of Burger King's Halloween Whoppers, dating as far back as 2015. Can't believe I'm single.

Every Burger King Halloween Whopper, from 2015 to now. (Why though?)

It's way better than you would think it is. I had a lot of fun with it.

Happy 33rd anniversary to Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, a game that gets a lot of undeserved hate. I've always loved it, and after a replay last year, I can say I still do. Don't listen to the reputation and give it a try!

My attempt to restore the artwork of #ElevatorAction Returns used on the cover of the #SegaSaturn release in Japan as well as for advertising. Used different sources to fill in bits, taking some liberties, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch combo. No clue on the artist.

Elevator Action Returns used on the cover of the Sega Saturn release in Japan as well as for advertising. Image depicts three characters: a female on the left, a male crouching in the middle and a bulky Arnie like male on the right, all standing on an elevator. The background is very reminiscing of the structures seen in the movie Aliens with a blue tinted tone.

The artwork of #EmeraldDragon used for advertising the #NEC #PC88 release in Japan. Featured in Comptiq magazine, November 1989. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied. No clue on the artist, any info let me know!

Emerald Dragon clean artwork used for advertising the NEC PC-88 release in Japan. Image depicts four characters: one mage looking holding a staff, a blonde one holding what it seems to be a rapier, one sitting on a rocky formation holding a sword, and a green haired girl in a blue dress. All are staring at the left side with a nice sunset on the horizon, where a red toned cloudy sky can also be seen.

My restoration of #PrinceOfPersia's artwork by Katsuya Terada used on the cover of the #SuperFamicom and #SuperNintendo (PAL) releases. This is a v2 of my previous work adding missing bits at the top/bottom using different sources, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch combo.
