Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.

This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.

The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.

All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
If your post is fanart, include a link to the artist in post body, if you can. You may also ping @saucechan@ani.social to have it attempt to find the source for you, and provide it in a comment.
MARK ANY TEXT SPOILERS, as for art, do not post content that outright spoils key moments of a games narrative. Content that can only be understood with the context of having played the game, is ok.
No generative AI art.

What's a game that made a visual or musical impression on you? Or maybe it had a story that has stayed with you for years.

The intro screen of Secret of Mana will always be hard to one up.

You can see it here (first 1m45s).

The musical piece is one of the best pieces of video game music ever IMO, the art around the heros standing at the base of a world tree - it's just epic fantasy.

The full game itself isn't even in my top 5 SNES games, but the opening is something that still comes to mind from time to time 30 years later.
