Sindibad: Chitei no Daimakyū cover (1990) 🔗


Sindibad is neither the fanciest nor the most high-effort of RPGs on the PC Engine. As the game jumbles together elements from many different stories from the tales of 1001 Nights, the cover art jumbles together various works by Boris Vallejo. It’s funny to see the closest thing of Vallejo as an anime character, as I believe the center piece was one of the paintings he posed for himself.

The spear boy was identified by Trickless from the Insert Credit forums.
