Frankly, all MM2 cover art was assy at best. The PAL version, however, is obviously far worse. I'm not down with the painted dude in a blue (or silver as this one is) suit. Cheesy.

Also, if you cant see the link, right click the link and drag it to your address bar. It will pop up fine then, but you'll wish you'd never seen a MegaMan cover so awful. It may make you claw your eyes out. Be carful.

I vote for Dynamite Duke on Genesis or Strider on Genesis.

How Sega could allow a cool character like Strider be portrayed by a man in purple tights is beyond me.

The Gunstar Heroes boxart for Genesis was pretty bad compared to its MD counterpart.

The title screen for PSII should have been the box art - that would have been cool.

It may not be the worst, but I very nearly never played The Guardian Legend due to it's box art. I would always overlook it when it was time to buy or rent games. It has a horrid yellow cover, and the eyes of a giant demon thing looking out of the top of the cover.

It ended up being a great game that I nearly missed. Look it up on eBay and see for yourself.
