One of the best RPG games on the NES and such a huge f*cking plot twist. Loved the story and atmosphere of this one. Personally I always loved this box art.
That's Picture is awesome! I was born in 1992, You know people don't Remember that there was some 80's pop culture in the 90's they assumed grunge ruled the 90's! I for one own a lot of obscure 80's Style Hard Rock and Heavy Metal from the 90's!
Well there we go. Looking for an extremely esoteric halloween costume?. Look no further. If you have a dog you could even dress it as a ghost lion. Both spooky and dangerious.
He didn't even scrape the surface lol, her face is too detailed compaired to the body and shot in a strange perspective, her legs have the exact same texture as her skin but is a different colour, etc.
The chick looks like a cross between Sonya Blade and Vince Neil. Nice to see someone finally mention White Lion. They were awesome in the late 80's, especially the song "When The Children Cry". Such a tearjerker.
I have to say, this is probably the best quality of obscure NES cover-art. Much like "Shatter Hand", you can see the Artist really took his or her time on this. Unlike the morons who did the Mega-Man cover and "Action in New York" cover.
Merry Christmas Everyone, Be sure to check out my playlist that has all the nerds christmas episodes in chronological order. Use The Bad game cover art to count the days.
Jesus. I can't believe it's Christmas time already. I literally remember waiting for 12 days of shitmas games. I've been watching James since I was in middle school.
+Dcc357 How could I have missed that? I've seen Big Rigs before and I always thought they're just for the costume. x). That's something new for me. I feel dumb now.;-;
It makes sense it would've been released that year. '80's' fashion was really late 80's / early 90's. In fact fashion trends usually straddle two decades, same with music tastes.
I already cosplayed as Karuta from Inu x Boku SS and planning on cosplaying as Futaba from Persona 5. Maybe I'll cosplay as the Ghost Lion girl from the cover. :P
i'm sorry, i cant say that this cover is bad, improperly used? maybe... but then in the game you play as a girl, hunting the Ghost Lion that killed her parents, so it kinda fits. and yes, White Lion did the remake of the theme to The Transformers: The Movie, i know cause that movie i watch religiously, and that air metal version is perfection, way better than the original theme.
I hate how the playlist goes backwards and goes back to the video I just watched instead of the next one. I can't just sit back and let all the videos play on their own, I always have to pause right before the end and click the next video
That's Lea Thompson. She has the hairstyle she had in Red Dawn and is dressed as she did in Howard the Duck. She's got some Courtney Thorne as well but I duobt it's her since she's more of a 90's icon.
Anyone else wish he would analyze the art in perspective of if it has correlation to the game as well? He could have pointed out how the battle sprite and the box art of the girl both show blond hair but her overworld sprite has brown. I really think these videos are far too narrow in perspective
Yep no connections between those mixed elements on the pakage because they have nothing to do with eachother. However you really should pay attention to notice all those unobviouse things.
It's like the eighties got drunk and threw up all over an NES cartridge.
+Son of Tiamat (formerly known as tiakpark) good one btw is it just me or are you everywhere
I was born in the eighties 1989! :DDD
+thehoosierfortheUK "woman/girlfriend". What does this mean? Is there any difference?
+NSPcrazY112 no not really just being repetitious and redundant. I want a woman born in 1988 or 1989 for the love of my life as I was born in 1989!
+Son of Tiamat (formerly known as tiakpark) no that would be scate or die
I think that artwork is actually pretty cool.
+Jin Guy You CAN make good artwork, but still have a terrible game cover.
+Jin Guy it is in fact awesome just for all the wrong reasons ;D
+Jin Guy it doesn't even make sense, for the game, and if it were a rock band, neither
+Nicolas Silva Awesome is incomprehensible.
The T.C. true, i wouldn't buy a game with the non-original though but this one just wouldn't even get noticed
You know what? That DOES look like an 80s Metal CD cover!
"I wanna see one cosplay as the Ghost Lion Girl."
Be careful what you wish for.
What do you mean? did you cosplay it?
I kinda want to see someone cosplay the Ghost Lion girl now.

Yes. "awkward"
+PureMetalDragon Now that you mention it, she does look a lot like Sonya. Retro Sonya.

80's fashion goes hard!
+castlevaniaxmegaman holdover from the 80's. No question
+castlevaniaxmegaman says all the kids who were like 3 when this game came out
Makes me actually want to play the game! Damn that cover did a good job!
It's an ok game it's an RPG

This is the one cover I was sure wouldn't be on the list. It's so much better than the game. I want to hang it on my wall.
She looks like she's gone SSJ3
+Blonic Rainboom You get a like from me since you are a DBZ-fan.
+Blonic Rainboom -- Yeah, '80s hair metal bands routinely gone SSJ3. ;)
+Blonic Rainboom It's like a mixture between DBZ and Highlander.
THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!
+Blonic Rainboom Aghh fuck, you beat me to it!
+Blonic Rainboom And this is... to go... even further BEYOND!
That's actually the coolest cover art in this series so far.
Unfortunately, the cover has nothing to do with/in the game.
@@marhansgamingchannel4732 To be fair, that was pretty much a given for all of the game cover art featured up to this point!
Oh James. This is the internet, sweetie. Someone WILL accept that challenge. XD
What challenge?
+Jake tongue To cosplay as Ghost Lion girl, I think?
***** Yes, you caught me. I'm James' Mom. James clean up your basement, it's a pig sty. And stop hanging around that Matei boy. He swears too much. =P
The music in this episode was awesome...
I thought this was supposed to be bad cover art. This cover is clearly awesome.
This was a great one; the "... according to MySpace," line just killed me.
Hey James! Thanks for treating us yet again this Christmas!
Weird cover art, interesting game.
I didn't think James' videos were still this good
I love this segment so much james it really does make waiting for christmas a bit more bearable thanks man keep up the great work
I looked this game up. found the Japanese cover. Apparently we got Ghost Lion Girl in exchange for Moses. Good deal I think
That awesome music though ♥
I think the 11th day is going to have that cartridge that says Et Go Come
I talked about this game a while back, but ugh, the cover. Her actual sprite in-game is....well.....very different!
I heard that sneak diss to grunge.
I thought this series was showcasing bad artwork. This one is obviously a masterpiece.
That's Picture is awesome! I was born in 1992, You know people don't Remember that there was some 80's pop culture in the 90's they assumed grunge ruled the 90's! I for one own a lot of obscure 80's Style Hard Rock and Heavy Metal from the 90's!
'92 was still pretty much "the 80's", as fashion go. Early 80's on the other hand was more what we now call the 70's fashion.
Name of the song??
Well there we go. Looking for an extremely esoteric halloween costume?. Look no further. If you have a dog you could even dress it as a ghost lion. Both spooky and dangerious.
I want a Ghost Lion poster. That thing is rad as fuck.
The way she holding the handle of the sword looks a bit suspicious like she holding something else.
What's the name of that kick-ass song?
I'm just waiting for an LJN game or Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde... Or Big Rigs. That game art just fucking lies
Dead horse
+GondarthReturns Big Rigs cover is actually pretty good
Vitorruy1 Its a good cover... But its a blatant lie regarding the gameplay. The cover is much cooler than the entire game itself
GondarthReturns This video series is about covers only
+Vitorruy1 He might mention it since its nothing like the gameplay
That cover is actually pretty cool. You totally nailed it comparing it to an 80's metal cover. It would probably have done better as one.
He didn't even scrape the surface lol, her face is too detailed compaired to the body and shot in a strange perspective, her legs have the exact same texture as her skin but is a different colour, etc.
Soon as the video was half over I started to type "ghost lion nes" into a new yt window.
The chick looks like a cross between Sonya Blade and Vince Neil.
Nice to see someone finally mention White Lion. They were awesome in the late 80's, especially the song "When The Children Cry". Such a tearjerker.
Whats that background music. Reminds me a lot of one of the songs in the Terran campaign from the original Starcraft.
This is one of the rare occasions where James shows me a game that I've never seen before. Actually looks like a decent RPG. Thanks James!
Eat your heart out, Lita Ford!
I remember While Lion. Their best songs were "Wait", "Tell Me" and "When The Children Cry".
This is one of the most original and one of the funniest things cinemassacre has ever done
I have to say, this is probably the best quality of obscure NES cover-art. Much like "Shatter Hand", you can see the Artist really took his or her time on this. Unlike the morons who did the Mega-Man cover and "Action in New York" cover.
I can't listen to "We wish you a merry Christmas" without hearing the sound of crackling ass now. Thanks.
I like the pause for emphasis after "Myspace".
Looks like a rock n roll Zelda from 1986
One of the best parts of my day are seeing these videos.
This is a pretty decent game actually, if you're in the mood for a Dragon Warrior style NES game where you play as a summoner.
Merry Christmas Everyone, Be sure to check out my playlist that has all the nerds christmas episodes in chronological order. Use The Bad game cover art to count the days.
The way he says 'and that would look stupid...'
Jesus. I can't believe it's Christmas time already. I literally remember waiting for 12 days of shitmas games. I've been watching James since I was in middle school.
White Lion got a mention, awesome! Vito Bratta is a hell of a guitar player!
Is it me or does James has a tattoo on his left arm? It sorta shows up when he puts his arm up...
He does have tattoos. Look at his review of Big Rigs when he makes a commercial for it.
+Dcc357 How could I have missed that? I've seen Big Rigs before and I always thought they're just for the costume. x). That's something new for me. I feel dumb now.;-;
+Linknerd09 I see you don't watch James and Mike Mondays
+Vitorruy1 I'm sorry, but I don't. :
Jasan Allen It took me a while to actually believe those were real tattoos.
Dang, I want to hear this band now. This is absolutely an 80's metal album cover.
It makes sense it would've been released that year. '80's' fashion was really late 80's / early 90's. In fact fashion trends usually straddle two decades, same with music tastes.
I already cosplayed as Karuta from Inu x Boku SS and planning on cosplaying as Futaba from Persona 5. Maybe I'll cosplay as the Ghost Lion girl from the cover. :P
Great, I'm suddenly reminded of that Lady Lisa character that creepy guy was obsessed over in Pixels.
"I GOTTA _LICK_ THE LION!"
"It doesn't even _look_ like a lion!"
I'm so sorry for my sin.
Also known as White Lion Densetsu in Japan
Love all these videos! Thanks for them!
Why is the mountain wider than the background?
God, I love this series! ^^ Good job, James!
I'm pretty sure the girl and the lion came off the same "100,000 Clip Art" CD collection.
0:53 That lion has seen some shit
Holy shit! I LOVE this series! Best thing AVGN has done in years!
That hair could be its own character I wonder what the hell this game has to do with the lion
Surprised he didn't mention the lion looking almost like White Lion's "Pride" album cover.
The release in Japan was in 89 and 92 in the US
Jokes on you, this is 80s GOLD.
That cover art was AWESOME!!
i'm sorry, i cant say that this cover is bad, improperly used? maybe... but then in the game you play as a girl, hunting the Ghost Lion that killed her parents, so it kinda fits.
and yes, White Lion did the remake of the theme to The Transformers: The Movie, i know cause that movie i watch religiously, and that air metal version is perfection, way better than the original theme.
Will there be episodes showing the real in game of all these games?
This should be on the side of a van.
That, my friends, is Tina Yothers back in her Family Ties days.
The resemblance is uncanny.
Well, the Japanese version came out in 1989... But yeah, there was some crossover between late 80s and early 90s anyway ^_^;;
i love the cheesy 80s rock in the background
I hate how the playlist goes backwards and goes back to the video I just watched instead of the next one. I can't just sit back and let all the videos play on their own, I always have to pause right before the end and click the next video
The ending got me, lol
Video games are James Rolfe's childhood.
James Rolfe is my childhood.
0:24 - You did see someone cosplay as the ghost lion girl... her name is Kesha.
That's Lea Thompson. She has the hairstyle she had in Red Dawn and is dressed as she did in Howard the Duck. She's got some Courtney Thorne as well but I duobt it's her since she's more of a 90's icon.
Please review Sword of Sodan(Genesis) and Doomsday Warrior(SNES)!
92, eh?
The perfect image to commemorate my flesh's genesis.
MySpace. James truly is retro as fuck
This look like a slightly tamer version of a Heavy Metal magazine cover lol !
So that's what happened to Suzanne Summers after the thigh master infomercials.
That cover art is metal as fuck!
That's Courtney Thorne-Smith on the cover. She looked like that in the mid-80s.
Is it just me or that last sentence sounded like a teaser?
Anyone else wish he would analyze the art in perspective of if it has correlation to the game as well?
He could have pointed out how the battle sprite and the box art of the girl both show blond hair but her overworld sprite has brown.
I really think these videos are far too narrow in perspective
my space is still going? yesssh
AVGN should make a video on the Castlevania clones and imitators, Getsu Fuuma Den and Holy Diver are great examples
dumb idea, get over it
I wonder who the actual artist was who made that cover.
So is this series slowly transitioning to "OK Game Cover Art I Guess"?
this show is showing me loads of videogames I never heard of before!
liking it!
I need that cover in HD
If you like this NES cover, you're lion.
lol to be fair, the 90's kept the 80's on life support until 1995 and grunge pulled the plug on it once and for all
+ColeVecsion Then grunge died out sanic fast.
then grunge died in 96 and was replaced by autotune.
And Nu Metal and Britpop sprung from the underground!
Yep no connections between those mixed elements on the pakage because they have nothing to do with eachother.
