Turrican title screen (1990) 🔗

Turrican is about as metal as a video game character gets, so it makes sense for him to evoke the energy of a classic heavy metal album cover. It does a little bit more than just evoke, though, stealing not only the barbarian warrior's pose but also the general composition and feel of Ken Kelly's cover for Manowar's Kings of Metal.
