F-Zero

Where did I steal this image from? Chudah's Corner! When did I steal it? Earlier this morning!

What I see: Ignoring the font, this sets up something of a Top Gun vibe to it. Big close up of a jet engine, you just KNOW that we're going into the danger zone, baby. Bogey at three o'clock! Homoerotic Tom Cruise movies on your six!

What I expect to hear: Kenny Loggins, baby.

Would I buy? Actually, no. Sorry, Tom Cruise.

(You know, this was a day late, mostly because I couldn't figure out what to do with a jet engine and an ugly font. Apparently, I still can't.)

Earth Defense Force

Did I steal this image from Chudah's Corner? Yes, I did.

What I see: This is rather to the point for once, isn't it? It's a plane, used in the shooter pictured in the middle of the cover. No strange staring people, no attempts at seeming punk rock, no cracked out Japanese schoolgirls. It just says "This is the soundtrack to the game Earth Defense Force. Please buy it if your commute generally involves shooting things and driving side to side." Luckily that describes my commute pretty well.

What I expect to hear: An arcade, circa 1991.

Would I buy it? No. Arcade soundtracks from 1991 aren't exactly my cup of tea, if I'm honest.
