The cartridge art was always so kickass. You just had to use your imagination quite a bit... (startrek.website)

Looking at this cover art again now, it kinda reminds me of AI-generated art lol

I love bashing AI art but in AI art it's usually the details that you spot at second glance that makes it fall apart. The Mega Man cover is just fundamentally messed up to a degree where even AI art is miles ahead.

Yeah true, AI art is more "looks OK at first glance, but smaller details are messed up", while this one is the opposite of that so "smaller details are actually fine, but as a whole it looks quite messed up" haha
