Magical Drop home made Tarot Cards
I made custom tarot cards from Magical Drop screenshots. Version: Magical Drop III (マジカルドロップ3) on Neo geo. Each of these have been printed and stuck on thick sheets of paper (Canson) and laminated with pouches. For the pictures, I was novice in image processing at that time: I used Paint... :)

Notes: The Roman numerals used in Tarot cards slightly differ from the common Roman numerals (for example IIII versus IV, and VIIII versus IX)
The Fool is the only unnumbered card, sometimes placed at the beginning of the deck as 0, or at the end as XXII.
The Death card shows the Messenger of Death, but its symbol reveal that death is not only about life ending. It is about endings and beginnings, birth and rebirth, change and transformation.
This fanmade deck does not contain a card for "Black Pierrot" ingame character, as it's not an actual tarot card.
