idk if this came up in another thread but there’s some info about that game (The Golden Sword) at Gaming Alexandria.

The creator of the game Hajime Murao was only fourteen at the time!
Whoa I didn’t know anything about the Fujitsu FM-7 but the graphics were still not what I was expecting ^ _^
It was first released in 1982 and was sold in Japan and Spain.
The FM-7 primarily competed with the NEC PC-8801 and Sharp X1 series of computers in the early 1980s. It was succeeded by the FM-77 series of computers in 1984, which featured backwards compatibility with the FM-7. The FM-77 series was later succeeded by the 32-bit FM Towns in 1989.
The FM-7 is based around the 6809 chip, which was also used in home computers such as the TRS-80 Color Computer and Dragon 32/64, as well as several arcade games.

imagine not only getting a game published at 14, but the publisher commissions a piece of art like that for the box

Woo!
i am positive there is a treasure trove to be found in the macintosh-only japanese games category. this looks crispy and enticing i love it
two particular examples have been floating on top of my head recently, probably already posted above…
Jordan Mechner recently posted on his twitter the image of the sfc box art for prince of persia drawn by Katsuya Terada and it’s so generous and rich (scan courtesy nintendolife)
this one sticks out in my mind for the particularly unusual feature of having the bordered artwork being overflown with text and information, the borders themselves having plenty of texture and character, the boldness of the scrawled VT, etc. (scan courtesy hg101)

Genesis CDX
Friend of mine in college had one of these, still the coolest-looking game console I’ve ever seen.
Apparently ( Sega CDX/Multi-Mega | Retro Consoles Wiki | Fandom ) Sega didn’t make many of 'em, like only 5,000 were released in North America (elsewhere in the world they went by the name “Multi-Mega”).

imo, the best-looking console is a different mega drive/mega cd hybrid: the wondermega
even more exciting, the cd drive’s lid is motorised and can be opened and closed using the controller! true luxury

It is similar to the Multi-Mega, being a combination of a Mega Drive and Mega CD, but with the added ability to function as a karaoke machine
The system shipped with four karaoke programs
Two microphones can be connected to the system
I’d still go with the compact sleekness of the CDX, personally. : )
BUT, the Victor Wondermega did have a pretty wild box:
The Wondermega was of course assed up for North America, where it was released as the no-doubt Musk-favored “X’Eye”:
The box didn’t look too bad, at least:

This commits the cardinal sin of being prettier on the outside than the inside, as it’s one of the few MD consoles that doesn’t output RGB video.
