What are some of your fav box covers for old school games, despite how the game may play?

 It may just be a cropped "Godzilla vs King Ghidorah" movie poster, but the art is still epic. The game, not so much.  HUGE part of my childhood, and it's good to see Blanka going over Ryu!  Played that one to death on the ol' PC Jr.  First RPG I ever played. |

 Still probably my favorite box art of all time. |

I used to rent it a ton back when it came out, bought it off eBay for the hell of it a few years ago. I always tried to convince myself it was an awesome game, but I honestly just wasn't feeling it. |

 Actually, any of Konami/Ultra's are really good. |

I use to rent games based off box art sometimes. It's how I was introduced to Mega Man.

The box art for the first few Megaman games were just horrible! And that's why it's awesome!

I liked the old minimalist Sega Master System covers, some were atrocious. I'd like to see some newer games done in this style.   |
