you like it ;)
 
Definitely Mega Man.

I think it had something to do with the artist having only one day to make it, and only hearing about the game, and not actually seeing it in play.
 
I think goofy ones worth mentioning are the ones for Pro Wrestling for the Sega Master System where a headless guy has a head in a choke hold, and Phalanx for the SNES which has an old guy with a banjo on the cover. I don't know if these count or not since they're cover art, but they're pretty goofy.

A recent one- I bought a copy of Demon Sword for NES after hearing about it on the Retronauts podcast recently.

The cover features some norse/medieval/gladiator brawly dude with a sword and such, but the game is basically a sequel to Legend of Kage, all ancient japanese mythology settings/inspired, with CTHD type flying leaps into the trees.

A fine example of americanizing in the NES era.
 
Every Sega Master System cart. Small plain looking cart labels with just the cart's name. Makes me glad the boxes were plastic, so it's easier to find SMS games that are boxed at least, though they're pretty generic too aside from the game art.

For a specific game, Tuff E Nuff for SNES.

What are you nuts!? That's an awesome cover! It's better than "Dead Dance" or whatever the Japanese name was. :lol:

Why does that game always seem to make it on Top 10 worst lists? I think it's an awesome cover.

You want bad, here it is.

super noah's ark 3d for the sneswas pretty bad .I guess noah is supposed to be on the cover, looks more like a garden gnome
 
Is that pro wrestler Vampiro?

Best game ever made. But that Box art ain't attracting random buyers.[/quote]
 
i never understood why people dont think the NES games looked bad like, 10 yard fight, urban champion etc..... They look/are pixelated pieces of crap. Atleast ones with drawings try to make the game look nicer than it was....... One other game from the NES was Raid on Bungeling Bay. I have no idea what is actually supposed to be on the cover
