Difficult, if not impossible, for a veteran player, not to have crossed at least once the eyes of one of the illustrations of Mick McGinty while walking to the video games department. The odds for one of his works is currently at the bottom of your room or even exposed on a shelf, are important. But as his son Jobey announced, Mick McGinty went peacefully, swept on 18 September by cancer at the age of 69.

The video game represents only a tiny part of the work of this painter graduated from the Fine Arts, born in a small town in Dakota. Besides, it is hardly if the video game is mentioned on its biography among other commands for the cinema ( qui wants the skin of Roger Rabbit ) the music ( the police ) or campaigns for famous brands ( adidas , Mcdonald s ).

Yet many players will recognize his work on emblematic illustrations of the 90s like those of the jackets of Street Fighter 2 , Super Street Fighter 2 , Streets of Rage 2 , Streets of Rage 3 , Kid Chameleon and Shining Force . As illustrated by the excellent VGDENSTSU account, Mick McGinty has also signed promotional illustrations related to some of these titles and was still present in the 2000s with a whole collection of covers Zoo Tycoon .
