The Greatest Video Game Box Art of All Time
« on: October 05, 2007, 05:30:08 AM »
This list of The Greatest Video Game Box Art of All Time 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.

Very lame lineup. Who actually thinks Zelda cover is great? I'm really disappointed they forgot Guardian Legend.

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):

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).
