I was making pins, and thought to myself.. OMG the blue lander would be perfect!!!  So I did!  I used some injet shrink paper, printed (although it darkened after baking, not from the heat, but from the compression of colors when it shrink, the pigments kinda squeeze together and become a shade darker)

Still looked pretty nifty.  I glazed it with mod podge and then glued a pin on the back. Have a look see!

Now here's what I'm wondering.  Remember that strategy guide with the Guardian's chibi art on it?  http://www.videogameden.com/omake.htm?fc?gua08?10     I don't know if I'll ever get a hold of this book... I would love to make things with the various caricatures found within.  Does anyone own the book? Might you be willing to scan the various artwork inside?  I was hoping the owner of videogameden would make more scans, but they only put 2 pages   Sooooo curious to see inside the book!!!  I emailed them, but they simply never answered..

Well, I was born in 84... so probably too young to remember anything on TV.  Did TGL ever get any kind of advertisement?  Or even in a magazine?  Or did they just stick the game on the shelf hoping kids would buy into the evil eyes on the box?

If not, let's have a contest!  Create the best TGL commercial.  Winner gets a free T-Shirt!  I just a workforce1100 that prints large format shirt transfers.  Got my tax return too, so I'll be buying large 13 x 15 3G jet Opaque Transfers.  My cutter and heat press are rarin' to go!

Here's an old commercial compilation.  I know a lot of them are terrible, so here's your chance to show'em what a commercial SHOULD be!

(Shipping and handling by me, you must pay import tax if required by your country, lol...)  Who votes?  We'll have a poll later!  Post your entries here.  I'll be entering just for fun, no prize for me.

Hmm.. Guess I'll have to design a shirt somehow...

While wondering who actually had the license to it, I went ahead and contacted all these compile varients.  No response.... hehehehe....

So I took a shot in the dark and contacted Irem.  They replied with this:

Dear Sir or Madam:

Thank you for contacting us. We have the license of "The Guardian Legend." Thank you very much.

Sincerely,IREM SOFTWARE ENGINEERING INC.


We can still dream and make home brews right?

When I used to use Napster back in 1999 or it was probably 2000... I found these TGL songs.  Not sure where they're originally from, but I always kinda liked them.  See what you make of it.

I zipped them and they are wma format.

I dug up some neat goodies.  It seems they ever made a phone card in Japan that had TGL's cover art on it. There was a guide book too.  The only clickable feature is the instruction booklet. In the PDF features some neat art such as the Guardian herself, how very sexy.

I'd like to hope someone can translate what it says about her in the schematics/cross-sectioning.

I am still on the hunt for this illusive "Cloth Poster" that was included with a special edition release of this game.  Right now ebay has a listing for the complete set (minus the cloth poster)

If anyone has any leads on this poster, please post it here.  I only saw it once, but never saved the image >.<
