So is the japanese cover art of the game a Dodge & Burn of the original Giger pic? :-s

Sorry, but I don't see your library card on the books of Ys.  Now, RETURN THEM TO ME!!!

Tat, thank you so much! Great pic!

Do you remember the name of the painting? I was looking through Giger's Necronomicon (and other books) trying to find the original art. I found some similar/related works, but I don't remember finding an exact match. Is it available in a book? Which one?

Again, thanks for the pic :)

unfortunately i do not remember the name (although it was written there). i'm also not totally aware of his books and their contents. so i do not know in which of his books, this picture was displayed once.

sorry for the dark picture, since in the whole museum (which is als held in quite dark ambience) was no photos allowed, so i had to take it secretly w/o unsing a flash.

@darK: this is the original picture which hudson later asked to use it for the cover of necromancer. therefore on the inlet as well on the Hucard, the H.R. Giger copyright is written.

I once saw an NES cartridge of Kirby's Adventure with the words "Feed me M & M's" scratched on the back and thought that was weird. 8-[

Yeah, I know.  It's not related to the games I have or any of the used games I bought but still thought I should point that out.

HA! That's funny. And, yeah, also pretty weird.

The lack of flash actually adds drama to the painting.... as if you wanted to accentuate the atmosphere of the scene. :)

By looking at that picture without the added brightness, it looks like a scene out of Alien:shock:
