Ken also illustrated the would-be box art for the canceled Sega 32X game X-Men: Mind Games. Outside of X-Men work, Ken’s relationship with Sega included promotional art for the U.S. release of Beyond Oasis.

In addition to the two above listed Victor Vector & Yondo CD-ROM games, Ken also illustrated all three covers for a limited Victor Vector & Yondo comic book series. Ken does not appear to have illustrated the box art for the first two CD-ROM games, despite his involvement in other aspects of the games’ art.
