Nah, doesn't exist, if a quick Google search is anything to go by.

I suppose that's a good thing.

That cover makes the game look absolutely badass. This one on the other hand...

Looks like a bad acid trip. What were they even attempting to portray here?!

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

If you want legitimately terrible box art, try Street Sports Baseball. I read a Cracked article about this one once.

Kageki was only released in Japan but it still counts.

"Kid Kool and The Quest For The Seven Wonder Herbs"?
What were they smoking?! Oh, right, wonder herbs...

In that "Anirog Kong" cover Peach (maybe? She looks more like some sort of strange, eternally calm hooker with a wig made from dust bunnies) appears to be smoking a joint, too. Judging by the overall look of the cover I would not be surprised to learn that was a favourite past time of the cover artist(s).

I'm not sure from what game this box art is from, but alas, its japanese:

But we must never doubt of what the western world could cough up during the 90s:

There is nothing wrong with that Friday the 13th cover. NOTHING AT ALL.

The chess cover however looks like someone is getting a handy while teaching how to play chess.

I'd say some of these like Power Blade and Metal Fighter are legitimately good (given the time period) but others like Shaq Fu and Astrology are just laaazy! Hammerin' Larry's cover is a pretty accurate depiction of the absurdity the game holds.

And now for some main-series Zelda box art! What could possibly go wrong? :B
