This list of The Greatest Video Game Box Art of All Time (https://web.archive.org/web/20090311130959if_/http://www.gamerhelp.com/article_viewer.cfm?article_id=129520) is full of covers that make every Worst Box Art list and tosses in a bunch of bland covers that don't deserve to be on any list.
I'm guessing that the author is from Europe, but thats still no excuse for some of those rotten covers like Megaman 2.
It looks like they spent two minutes grabbing a few random games off a shelf and just posted whatever turned out to be in their hands.
ya, i didn't remember megaman 2 looking like that, haha. Some of the covers are good while others are shit.
Very lame lineup. Who actually thinks Zelda cover is great ? I'm really disappointed they forgot Guardian Legend.

The american version of that cover is nowhere near as cool.

Sorry guys I had to :lol:
:lol: Nat has that as his avatar over at Frozen U.
I can't find that hyper-creepy boxart for some Famicom game, it used traditional-style Japanese art, it was VERY creepy.

One of my favorite covers of all time (though technically this isn't the real cover, but has the same artwork):

This the best Cover art of all time, IMO.

That just rules, and the fact that it's on cassette makes it even better! I wish some games came on records (vinyl). Or maybe 8-track!
I thought the early SNK games came on something similar to an 8-Track..

The closest I can think of is the Halcyon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halcyon_(console)), which used CEDs!
Bump dat, Foolio. Even the Wiki tells you the CEDs were just for the prototype. The final version used the forum-fave-format, the LASERDISC. ^_^
The console failed because Thayer's Quest sucks.
