Bad Box Art
« on: February 16, 2015, 11:18:14 am »
Let's show off some of gaming's worst box art (or promotional materials for digital games).  And yes, we've all seen Mega Man 1, Phalanx, and Karnaaj Rally, so try to be creative.

First off is Technocop, who doesn't look that techno or like a cop, or like his in-game sprite, for that matter.

Next up is Europa Univeralis 1.  It might look normal at first glance, but give it a good look.

Cyberwar.  Not much needs to be said.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

Pro Wrestling  is legendary for "A WINNER IS YOU", but it also had absolutely terrible boxart.

Anticipation, a board game/video game adaptation that looks like the cast of the cheesiest sitcom that ever existed (but was thankfully never aired) all got high and decided to pose for a game cover.

The eyeballs up the nose of the Fatman are great. It reminds me of the Vindaloovians from Red Dwarf!

The resemblance is... interesting... at least with that grid background. (EDIT: And the font... and... the layout...)

Dr. Sudoku: because having a grid of numbers as your box art isn't cool enough.
