Probably not the only one, but they're showing up clear on my end.

Instead of box art, I present to you a flyer for a Japanese arcade game.

Those faces, man.

I'm pretty sure I saw that somewhere a while ago. Can't remember where, though.

That looks like some early "Europe is now in the CGI market after seeing some anime, just like Korea." That stuff was awful. It took a long time to get better.

Are we allowed to post fan-made bad box art? The Fantendo wikia is a gold mine for this kind of stuff.

Hm... Am I the only one for whom the majority of recent images are showing up broken?

That happens to me a lot too. As a fix, you can copy an image's URL and paste it into your address bar. But if it still doesn't work then it's probably a hosting issue for the image's site. :/

...Is that ram-or-possibly-owl smoking a cigarette?

[RedKing]

Is that Tomba? Damn I remember playing that game forever ago, and how the last boss thing was actualy sort of nightmare fuel, due to a massive mood shift in a game that was super colourful and full of action before that.. It basically made you move around a dead, monochrome version of the game's world with really poor draw distance, and a few weird pig enemies attacking you while you journeyed to fight the last boss or something, as a weird humming disturbing tone played in the background. It was genuinely scary when I was a kid.

Anyway, if we're on the subject of terrible awesome video game commercials, then there's SEGATA SANSHIRO THE SEGA AVATAR

And now it suddenly makes so much sense why SEGA's trademark in the US was some guy yelling "SEGA!!"

This is amazing.

[Bohandas]

The thing on the left appears to be part-goat, part-raisin, and part-demon.

[Mech#4]

Apparently it's called "Torio the Panchi". A search on Google shows that the name is actually "Trio the Punch: Never Forget Me" and that the gameplay is as bizarre as the cover art.

[Bouchart]

Shatterhand is a cool game and all but they could've done better with this box art:

Oh god

[Bouchart]

It's especially bad because the main character of Shatterhand had cybernetic hands.

[Astral]

Junction is a game I have sitting on my shelf, and it's for the Sega Genesis. It's a puzzle game, but the box art doesn't really tell you what it does...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The game itself is a fairly simple puzzler, but the intro (and the backgrounds) are a bit weird though.

[Therolyn]

That game is sitting in a box somewhere in my house.

The fact that out of all of the (30+) Genesis games I had that particular one was played least by anyone in my family attested to how forgotten it was.
