🖼️ Game-art bake-off

Every game, three ways. Compare the methods and tell me which to roll out — then I'll wire the winner into the Hall of Games and Masterpieces and remove the rest.

📷 Real

The real cover art, sourced from Wikipedia (the actual, copyrighted asset).

🎨 AI redraw

Nano Banana redrew the real cover in our storybook-arcade house style.

✨ AI scene

Nano Banana generated this from just the game's name (web-grounded) — original art.
