I noticed today that the Parasol Stars huey (TG16) has actual art on it. Were there any other TG16 hueys that had artwork on them? I think every PCE huey I've seen has it, but all the US versions are BORING.
-
Cadash, another Working Designs game
-
Working Designs kept their early HuCards looking like the PCE versions. After the Duo switch, most HuCards used art on them, but lost jewel cases.
-
Cadash and Parasol Stars were the first Hucards to have artwork on them (of course thanx to WD's high quality customer appreciation). I believe Hucards released under TTI followed the same route. Evident with World Sport Competition, Dead Moon, Samurai Ghost, and Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu, just to name a few.
-
I think Neutopia 2 has art on the card.
-
ok what I noticed having art from my collection:
Cadash
Parasol Stars
Air Zonk
Battle Royale
Soldier Blade
Sinistron
Shockman
Time Cruise
-
Order of the Griffon
Bomberman 93' (kidna?)
-
I think every US release from late '91 on had artwork. Maybe early '92.
-
Do we count stylized text as art? If so then Splatterhouse, and Bonk's Revenge amongst others would fit the bill. Also where does Bomberman fit in? If memory serves, it has stylized text with a picture of a cartoony bomb behind it.

I just compiled of all the US hucards and what they used for art.
Curved text and Straight text means that the label just used the default font for tg-16 hucards, either curved or straight. Some space it out more, and some have two lines of text with the first part "resting" on top of the rest of the title underneath it. Ones that take up two lines can have either a smaller version of the same font for the words on top, or use the same font in small black letters for the words on top.
Stylized text means they used the exact same font as on the cover with only a solid color background. Sometimes the text is a different color than how it appears on the manual, but in every case I have seen it looks exactly the same otherwise. *Necromancer pointed out that sometimes the text is the same as it appears on the Japanese manual and not the US manual, as is the case with Super Star Soldier.
Stylized text with partial artwork is the same as stylized text with the addition of something other than a solid color background. Not quite full art, not quite just text. There were only 3 US hu-cards to do this.
Full art means that the hucard used the art exactly as it appears on the manual cover for its art.

I think every US release from late '91 on had artwork. Maybe early '92.
There are still exceptions, like Bomberman '93.

Not sure you'd call whats on Bomberman 93 'artwork' - sure, it's a fancy logo, but there's no drawings of any kind.

Either you guys are lazy, or no one bothers to read my posts :P
That's the last time I compile a list for you guys [-(

I just wanted to point out that Yo' Bro! does not feature artwork on the actual HuCard.
Your welcome.

Haha, how clever esteban, I forgot the exclamation point, not for long though!

Don't be silly, nobody reads lists :P

I just compiled of all the US hucards and what they used for art.
Nice list, Zeon, but you forgot Dragon's Curse - stylized text. If you want, you could also add the system cards: TG-CD - straight text and Super System Card - full art.
P.S. - It's Bonk III: Bonk's Big Adventure.

Thanks for the corrections, I made the list really quick and relied on the wiki article of turbo grafx 16 games, which strangely enough must be missing Dragon's Curse. Also I meant to put in the system cards but ultimately forgot in the end.
I also just realized, as far as US hucard games go, Bonk III and Keith Courage were the only two to have subtitles. Crazy huh?

What about Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III? There should've been more, such as Bravoman: Who's Dr. Bomb? and Soldier Blade: 100% Pure Extra Virgin Awesome.

Correct again, I totally forgot about Parasol Stars' subtitle

Checked these last night after work:
Dead Moon - Full art? (can someone confirm this)
Correctadiddlydo.
Magical Chase - Full art? (i am pretty sure, can someone confirm?)
Correct again.
Super Star Soldier - ? (can't find any pics of the us hucard at the moment)
It has stylized text, but the font matches the Japanese manual and not the US box/manual.
