  3. Description: Another masterful painting by Mark Heine. IREM's problems in 1994 likely were the reason this title was published by Jaleco in North America. This game, developed exclusively for the Super NES, largely fixed the slow-down problems that plagued its arcade-port predecessors. In 1997, Electronic Gaming Monthly named R-Type III as the 23rd best console video game of all time. IGN currently ranks it #65 of best Super NES games of all time.

  9. Description: A wonderful painting by one of the great masters of illustration. During February of 1998, almost every game magazine in existence was featuring the highly anticipated sequel to Resident Evil on their covers. Ultra Gameplayers, in defiance of the growing digital landscape of the time, commissioned a masterwork painting for this cover rather than recycle digital art from Japan, as most magazines of the time did. This issue also features an in-depth interview with the game's creators.

  10. Description: This piece is special to me, not only because it is one of a handful of official Resident Evil paintings (including the Sienkiewicz box cover) but also because I read these books by S.D. Perry many times as a kid. I loved this specific book cover so much, I sketched it back in middle school art class. I never thought I would own the original someday! Much to my dismay, this is the only traditionally created cover in the book series, but it's a great one! This piece is framed wi
