Just a cheap video looking at some crappy TG16 art
« on: July 10, 2011, 12:28:03 AM »
OK, instead of another playthrough and that junk I decided to do a quick lookthrough video of my TG collection and see some of those awesome (and not so awesome) cover arts. I don't know who they hired to commission some of these works but a lot of them are just awful.

some of the US games do have horrible cover art still not quite as bad though as the cover art on a lot of Master System games.

Definitely, you have the generic white graph paper look with some small piece of art in a corner especially for the earlier games. I still don't give a pass to some of this TG-16 art though.

The master system has no cover art.

Cool vid, because of nostalgia I tend to like the US box art even though I agree most of it is terrible. At least we had Working Designs who used the original cover art for their HuCard releases. it's a shame they decided to redo the CD releases though.

I'm also jealous you have Soldier Blade and the box, a game that has been eluding me for a long time.  :mrgreen:

Well some games do, but take wonder boy It's just a tiny picture of a kid jumping over a  snail. My comment really didn't make sense but some games have very little box art.

Yeah, I don't know what happened with that Cosmic Fantasy 2 artwork there.

The cover of cosmic fantasy 2 looks like they had a contest among 8th graders or the CEO at working designs wanted to display his kids art work.

But the diorama art for Exile: Wicked Phenomenon makes up for it.

Awesome video and a great collection you have. 

Most of the cover art looks decent for the time period.  The Sausage Rounds box art also looks pretty tasty. =P~
