I didn't think you'd be able to make a list of bad box art designs Chris, but you did! Rock N Roll Advnetures is the highlight. Laughing

The guy on the cover of that football game looks like he's taking a dump if you ask me... Anyway, all pretty terrible covers. The Mario's Time Machine one wasn't that bad though...

Mega Man's box art was awful. Mega Man 2's box art was bad too. Made me think Mega Man was a pensioner in a leotard.

I've never seen that Megaman cover before. It looks terrible! I had a much different box for mine which was a fair improvement on that.

You made a little error. You seem to have put as John Madden Football as a DS game, when we all know it isn't! Razz

Very good pics. The Rock n Roll Advnetures doesn't actually surprise me in the least, seeing that it's one of those damn Popcorn Arcade games.

My personal pic for "Worst Cover Ever" would be this abomination -



What is that thing? Why does it have tentacles growing out of its head? Where is everything else in the cover?

Wow, that list made me laugh. The Phalanx cover in particular is just weird beyond belief.

However, I didn't think Rad Gravity's artwork was that bad. Cheesy? Yes. But not bad as such...

The Mario's Time Machine cover doesn't look that bad, either. Although the Abraham Lincoln part does look odd, I'll give you that.
