Dungeon title screen (1983) 🔗

Among one of the first CRPGs made in Japan, KOEI's Dungeon cannot bost very refined gameplay, but it does feature quite evocative graphics for the various monsters you meet in its hallways. Not sure how original most of these are, but apparently the artist was into Greenslade's first album while drawing the title screen. (Prog rog is a documented important influence on the early Japanese RPG crowd.) No direct comparison this time, cause the pose and proportions were changed up quite a bit so they don't fit across each other nicely, but the similarities in the sitting magician's hood and magicking hand are still quite obvious. The title font is also more than just a little bit inspired by the Greenslade logo.
