Even after all these years, there's still tons of weird stories out there. The box art for (Western) Alien Storm was drawn by a man called Lee MacLeod. Nothing super unusual here - video game publishers (particularly in the US) rarely drew their covers in-house. But this is a new one to me - Mr. MacLeod made so much art that they were turned into trading cards. There were 60 of these, some of which were shiny-uh... "Tekchrome" cards.
The Sheffield UK band did a collab song with Babymetal. About 0:30-0:40 in, he mentions graphics are on N64 level but "it could get as bad as Sega Saturn".
Oh Canada https://archive.org/details/Canadia...agazine April May 1990/page/8/mode/2up?q=sega I don't know what this "Sega video game tournament" is - it might want a page, but this article is really vague.
After beating 2017's Cuphead I had a read of the (extensive) development history behind the game. We have the game listed on the wiki, but we're only scratching the surface - the brothers behind it grew up with a Sega Master System, and there's tons of Sega-inspired content in the final product. There's a (probably short-lived) watermarked mirror of The Art of Cuphead that details some of it.
