>>11024450Lawnmower man got my vote, I bought it just because of how ridiculous it looked. It's apparently a solid game?
>>11027286It's an oldass european release, I assume pre "Euro" so no idea where that came from.

>>11028091holy SOUL

>>11026270NOW BATTING, MIKE PIAZZA!
>>11027303Its from the movie, great flick. Pierce brosnan and Jeff Fahey. Wish there was a game for something with a bit more power, like the Jaguar or 3do.
Pure shite

>>11026924>i hate singingat that point it's just an autism thing but I respect it
Sorry for posting a personal opinion in a consistent thread, since most covers posted here are literal eye-rape, but I always hate like a lot the V8 covers, specially the stupid logo with the flames.
>>11025862hey hey people
>>11027008I was going to say the same thing judging from the thumbnail, but she looks spasticated. Shitty detailed OC tier art.
>>11029925Anatomy's a bit wonky but there's nothing outstandingly bad about this at all. At absolute worst it's just mediocre.

>>11026270CTE simulator
>>11026070Gotta agree, I find most of these way more appealing than most new game covers, they are a total after thought now and as a result feel completely soulless
>>11030385>they are a total after thought now and as a result feel completely soullessWhile I sort of agree the reason they're like this is the opposite, there's too much overthinking that goes into them now, review by multiple people and committees, it's why they all end up looking the same and not taking any risks.Back in the day it was just some artist who had a cool idea and the publisher put it on the box since they had already paid for it and they had to kick the game out of the door. You had more diversity and styles but often it backfired and you ended up with shit covers like most of the ones posted here, I guess it was allowed to happen because publishers were more relaxed and knew a big portion of the public were like you, blind motherfuckers, so there was no reason to try too hard.

>>11040312Literally
>>11025210>>11026414This game was a big inspiration for Psychonauts. So much so that the guy who thinks he's Napoleon is ripped straight from this.
>>11039202
>>11025986As shitty as it is, when I played it I couldn't help but feel the devs were actually trying to make a comedic adventure game.
>>11025618>my mfw when I see this cover
>>11041007Crazy guy thinking he's Napoleon is a cliché from the 19th century.
>>11025712that's a picture of me

>>11044882But it's not always better in PALtopia. What the FUCK were they thinking with Code Veronica?
>>11044885They wanted a CG anime chick on the cover, imitating the massive success of Final Fantasy the Spirits Within
>>11044882>American versions are all "angry/snarky character with weapon/threatening item in hand">MGS3 PAL cover is literally just "man with gun" which fits the bill but the NTSC cover reduces the amount of man-with-gun-ness real estate anyway???
>>11044820A DEVO fan. Bitchin.
>>11044882US RE2 and jet grind radio ones are better. everything else the PAL is better.>>11044908haven't all the PAL MGS covers used that iconic gradient style artwork?

>>11045747too anime for 1991's America
>>11044882MGS3, Jet Grind Radio and RE2 US covers are fine.
>>11044882A few of the American ones there are better.
>>11044885Behold
>>11045747The European version was the one that was redrawn, though. To match Mega Man's original design.
Not even Zero can catch a break
>>11040358kek
>>11025641lara croft looks like THAT?
>>11048035Capcom's attempt to do a general branding for MegaMan in Europe was so embarrassing, good thing they stopped using it by the time the DS was out.
>>11037158>had this as kid>had slimes in it>my sister took it since my dumb ass claimed it was the inspiration for the slimes in maple story, meaning it was worth money (had never heard of dragon quest)Cover always freaked me out btw, shit was just a confusing ff tactics ripoff. With slimes.

>>11026542what do they eat

>>11027306Huh, did pro wrestling have any popularity in Europe? Figured it would be just an American thing.
>>11036561It's a shame the humans are there since this would be a pretty badass image of an alien megacity without them.

>>11026542>>11049485>>11052013>>11052019Okay so I've found that each of these games, unsurprisingly, had different box art for different platforms and releases. They are all extremely dumb looking.
>>11026542>>11049485>>11052019>>11052027Okay I found the games emulated on an old website https://www.ifiction.org/games/index.php?cat=43
