Hello, Bogleech.
As the title says, this thread is about video game cover art. It could be wonderful, horrid, really horrid or anything in between. To start this off, I will set two examples. I'm pretty sure you can tell the two apart.

You may post cover art and discuss how great (or awful) it might be!

Goddamnit you beat me to Mega Man.

I've always found the box art for Pikmin 2 to be really cool.

The strangest thing about that Megaman box art is how detailed the face of Megaman (?) is compared to how poorly drawn everything else is.

That's why old-school box art is always either awesome in its creativity or unintentionally hilarious: More primitive graphics meant that box artists needed to use their imaginations.

And someone apparently imagined Pac-Man as a basketball player who runs around a castle eating floating cookies.

Elemenatl master is a so so game. The cover makes it look like a bad super hero movie form some far off land and thats why i like it.

Now up next are some of the older castlevina box art wich alway were super cool.
The made the cover look like poseter for awesomely bad pulp horror movies. Castlevina is one of my favorite game series.

...He's just as terrifying as ever. Does he have a backstory in the game?

I've always really loved the box art to Beast Busters:

I had to look this up.
It's real.
I have never felt more confused in my entire life. I am still reeling from the fact that this is actually a thing that is happening in reality.

He does have a backstory. For some inexplicable reason it's a variation on that of Megaman Legends.
