A2

Magic 8 Ball Girl's Convention filler week Continues with character design crossings with SNK's Athena. One of Video game's earliest female leads...

Of course, the American Boxart was a little less skimpy. So western owners of this game grew up assuming Athena looked like this:

But what really secures her place in this filler week is her choice of weapons:
One of her first weapons was a blue hammer that, thanks to NES graphics, resembles a some sort of giant tobacco pipe
Most likely a deep influence on Magic 8 Ball Girl's weapon of choice.

I thought her primary weapon was what ever blunt medieval weapon was at hand.
