I love how all of those events are character specific. CHRIST, that’s nerdy. Nice artwork too.
Yeah, that was basically the point of that image, as noted by the blurb in the corner. I do miss original artwork like that in magazines (and their online equivalents, if any.)

No magazine will ever have access to the developers like NP did. I mean, that’s mostly because it was propaganda, but still.
