ITT: Box art that goes unnecessarily hard
>>729144598
>>729145367And at a close second for me
>>729144598Its a book cover but still kind of vidya related
>>729144724what the fuck
i like this one, very epic
>>729145913that's the exact reaction the box art designers were going for
I'm here to make my third contribution to the thread.
>expect something like animu Ace Combat meets Armored Core>look inside>It's some shmup trash
>>729144724>The Straight Story Goes to Space
>>729147834Surprisingly the game, Butage: Dein Janai, actual appears to be about pigs.
>>729144724
Back then cover had to sell the game.
>>729147562All shmups are guilty of that. The most hard-going boxart just for the insides to contain the lamest little spaceships spewing pew pew garbage gameplay.
>games only you remember
>>729144598>goes hardso true ong frfr no cap 6 9
>>729148395oh fuck, i played it its actually pretty good
>>729147773My favorite cover.
>>729148648Did you have fun?
>>729145585What book is this even? Some imported western title or local arabic fantasy?
From the alien/mutant era of sci-fi
>>729148102This is now cannon in my mind. Thank you for sharing.
>>729148862hmmm, tits
So what we're learning is old games were better?
>>729148102I remember seeing the cover around the time it released. Kind of funny seeing it still have cultural relevance.
>>729148998Be gone jeet
>>729148426I've got something going hard right now.And it's not box art.
>>729148862>>729148985It reminds me of Toonstruck.
>>729148518>bmw necklacethis guy's romanian or something
>>729148985i never got past the sexy lady segment, maybe my copy of the game was bugged or i couldn't nail the timing for qte
>>729144598that's one of the first games my parents got us when they gifted us a PlayStation 2 for Christmas a long time ago, along with Timesplitters (1 of course)I feel something every time I see this box art thanks anon
>>729149009Is there even a modern analog of Sacrifice?
>>729149039Rent free
>>729149127Brütal Legend, kinda
>>729149061>main hero is a thief>doubting if he's romanianAnon, pls.
>>729148518Chad Thundercock's humble origins
>>729149178Man, what a fucking mishmash of genres is that game.
>>729146284The only thing I know about this game is some popular tech site/ gaming article online saying it has a "bath scene" and it's the only reason I checked it out
>>729145585The dancing skeletons are pure SOVL
A classic.
>>729148518literally
>>729149669>games for virgins
>mind boggling
>>729148518Fun Fact: It's Naughty Dog's one of the first video games before they hit big with Crash. >>729149556Made to pretend your finger is a nipple. Cleaver.
>>729149556What the fuck does it even say
Don't know why this got zero traction when everybody was making 3D mascot platformers.
>>729149962It came far too late and wasn't much of a platformer.
>>729149932Biing! 2 - Sonne, Strand und heiße Nächte. Seems to be one of those erotic German pc games the like of Lula Sex Empire.
>>729149582EBIN AS FUGGG :DDDDD
>>729150234i love this one
>>729150282There are so many layers to this I love it.
>>729150389I honestly expected the cover art to be more hard gay.
In all honesty, this just resembles modern WEGs. And when OP posted: 'goes hard' i assume the entire threads was buried in multiple layers of irony calling terrible covers good. Some people are posting fine covers in this thread. Like the OP image is terrible so how are misreading that for what it means?
>>729145585I thought this kind of thing is haram.
>>729150234I know nothing about this game but just looking at this picture makes me want to try it.
>>729149962Use your eyes.
>>729150234damn I was gonna post thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PypvWY2f3_c
>>729149669such a fantastic game, probably the first of today's automated management genre
>>729147773>Rated one of the best battle games ever released on the Commodore 64/128It's not that great, most of it's levels were repetitive. Of course, International Karate or Yie art KungFu weren't that great, either.
funny OST toohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8NDwMqaGWA
>>729147834is this the one with the cutscene where the girl in blue gains weight rapidly?
>>729147395I had no idea The Residents made a videogame.
>>729151213Awesome
if they dont go back to this kind of box art for mega man 12 it is dead in the water.
>>729145585Crash by J G Ballard has the best covers
>>729150282How's this a real title?
>>729144598what exactly is that in the babys mouth? a toothpick? binky? lollipop? strange illusion
>>729148395The SNES version was good too
>>729151142It's a matter of perspective, the expectation for C64 games is significantly lower than for other platforms. It's a 1983 computer with one button joystick, it is significantly limited by its hardware. I would say one of the best fightans on it is Barbarian, simply because they tried to maximize the moveset tied with holding the fire button + movement and it has both high and low attacks that have different priorities over different moves so it's sort of a rock-paper-scissor combat, but even that is extremely subpar once you played any remotely playable arcade/console fighting game
>>729151569It's a bubble.
>>729151248I think that was Muchi Muchi Pork
>>729150316>>729150494It's a game with amazing soundtrack and atmosphere but unfortunately rather average gameplay that suffer the most from bad AI and pathfinding (lucky there's at least you have an active pause). I still like it a lot.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8QXXB1Kt3E
No really OP. This image is terrible and why is this thread not ENTIRELY ironyposting? i made the few posts in the thread with bad covers. But i had no idea that you were being serious about saying that is was good. I guess sarcasm really isn't a thing on the internet.
Each one is a game.
>>729152305its him
>>729152305gem* Oh well, make sense either way.
>>729152268the internet is serious business
>>729148102Based
>>729152305Why America went to a phase of making the most repulsive looking artwork possible, it's like the bizzaro version of moe. The 90s was a nightmare, I take callarts over this any time of the day or month.
>>729152305Yüce was great.
>>729152656Seriously, look at this shit. There is nothing cool about that, it's simply repulsive. And not in a cool, body horror way, no, it's disgusting, like looking at maggots.No wonder people that grew up with this is making games nowadays with ugly women.
>>729152983>I'm gonna pleasure myself with this bottle.
>>729149669the factory has been destroyed
>>729150234metal
>>729148343Just get with the program.
>>729147950I get that reference
>>729152469I'm in too deep with the ironypoisoning at this stage. Can't turn back.
>>729153926Phoenix Games is heating
>>729144724I would always see this game at blockbuster but never tried it out because of the old guy
>>729149178This and Guilty Gear 2 are about as good as you'll get.
>>729148102>tranny artstyledropped
>>729149582
>>729154706What I'm even looking at?
>>729150484OP's boxart is 'so bad it's good' -tier
>>729154628Loona sex
>>729154628>Not liking Setz>Reacts with VivziepopTalk about shit taste
>>729148102Beatifull
>>729154628>tranny artstyle
>>729144598Not technically box art
>>729148167That has to be the worse tittle placement I've seen.
I like this one a lot. The monkey creature was terrifying for little me. Game was fucking awesome too, when I eventually played it.
>>729144724Came here to post this.
>>729155586
>>729150484I remember that all you had to do was romance that old rich guy in the early levels and you basically had infinite money for the rest of the game lmao.Also did George Clooney approve the usage of his image like that?
>>729144598When was the turning point that box art started to become lame and gay?
>>729156010Ps3 I think
>>729149331What is this? some porn mod?
>>729149432It was probably one of the lewest bath scenes of it's time which is why it got so much attention for it on release.
>>729152989kids in the 90s loved gross and ugly. look up how they tried to advertise earthbound in the west.
>>729151450I love how covers that had nothing to do with the game became a tradition.
>>729152392Cool
>>729156010When everyone started to use DVD cases.
>>729156070Your standard Pie in the Sky engine shooter, only with dick-guns and pixelated porn as wall textures.
>>729155921There were homos in this game? I didn't even know.
>>729152305rare for the japanese one to be the least memorable
>>729153880thank you anon
>>729145585is that the fucking iron claw from final fantasy
