Since this is my first thread as a member (yahoo!) I've decided to have a good quality one (or, at least, I think it is - hope it's not against the rules, since I haven't seen anything similar around, but I dug the forum rules and I found nothing against it, so here we go)

You know when you look at a game cover and you think "I gotta have this game"? When a game cover that is so beautiful that it should be in a museum? This is what this thread is about, when a box art is entitled to be named art and the mere memento of the game cover makes you itch for playing it. These are the ones I think that are the greatest box art ever. Tell me what you think about then and post those you die for





Alcahest - Nintendo Famicon e Drácula X - Sega Saturn




Final Fantasy Legends


Comodore Amiga 500 (all below)








And some honour mention






Nice box arts, don't you think?


-----------------
PS2: Fine.
Mega Driver with 71 games: Nice.
Super Nintendo bought at the fair for US$ 25,00: Double Nice.
Turbo Game VG9000T bought at the same fair for US$ 5,00: Just Great.
Black Mega Driver 3 found in a trash can with 4 cartridges: works like a charm.
Long in the tooth Atari: running smoothly
Xbox360 Falcon bought for US$ 700,00, used for 6 months: May devil be with it and guard it

Those are some good cover arts! Where is strider for the NES! That cover I found online and then I am like that game is awesome! Then it ended up being really bad. Good list though!

I think this thread might fit more to "Video Game Polls & Crazyness" forum, than to RGR-game discussion. Because "Retro Game Room - Game Discussion" forum is made in order to discuss only about games, that exist in RGR.

By the way, Fable's cover looks cool

I don't buy a game because of it's cover, I buy a game because of it's genre, freedom and good reviews.

I mean, here is an example of how a cover does not tell how good a game is....





Now Megaman itself is a fairly fun game and I can play it for a long while untill I get so mad at how hard it is, but this cover makes it feel like it is going to be a bad/boring game.

So, like always, never judge a book by it's cover.

P.S: Although I LOVED Fable, I never really understand why you think the cover is art, when I was young all I sew was the boy, I never noticed the guy below (DON'T ASK)... I dunno how I had the game but I loved it .

Fable, Conker: Live And Reloaded, Epic Mickey (the collector's edition), Katamari Damacy, and Batman: Arkham Asylum have the best game covers in my opinion.

Yet some time the cover misled the player, like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre on atari 2600

http://bavatuesdays.com/files/2008/04/256px-ttcm_front.jpg

I never see a that guy shoting leatherface, is that just to tell that he is a bad guy ?
I don't know...
