Fatal Fury: King of Fighters (1991) 🔗

SNK’s Duck King is just an all out music lover. From his first appearance in Fatal Fury: King of Fighters, he has a band cheering him on from their stage in the background, and to the side you can catch a glimpse at a poster for a quite contemporary release – Crosby, Stills & Nash’s big box set, simply dubbed CSN. Doesn’t exactly strike me as the kind of music Duck King would be into, but apparently someone at SNK was.

Ikari Warriors flyer (1986) 🔗

The entire raison d'être for SNK's Ikari Warriors series is to let you play at Rambo in a legally (barely) distinct manner, so it would be weirder if the original artwork for the Japanese arcade version didn't rip off several publicity photos from First Blood Part II. The artist tried to draw one of Sylvester Stallone's arms in a different pose to have him appear ready to throw a hand grenade, with rather mangled results.
