View Full Version : Egads!
I just stumbled upon the European boxes for Megaman and Megaman 2.
One's not so bad. I dig the suit. And check out morose Wiley in the corner. At least it's better than the one we got.

AHHHHHHH!!! What happened!? He looks like he's from that crappy Silverhawks (http://www.kryptonsite.com/shepisodes.htm) cartoon! I'm surprised Europe ever played another game ever again after having this image burned into their minds. Yikes!
I bought that exact same box once. I can't seem to find it, fortunately for me... however I've still got the game, which has a sticker of it :(.
I've never seen the first one, though. Best of the worst, up until the US MM3.

That second mega man cover is freaky. Looks like he traded in his buster for a sex toy.

This is just horrid. I know they explained that the guy had 16 hours or so to create this piece, but Dave and I both agreed we could do something much better within the same time frame.

Breath of Fire II. The main character is supposed to be about 14 years old, or something.

That Karnov one sums up the game pretty nicely.

Karnov was so ****ed up. :lol
Heheh, I remember that Bough Two box. I still have an ancient videogame magazine with the original ad, too, which was my source of information before the Internet. It was in something of a comic book format.

Whoever the guy was that came up with this idea, I really hope he got shot for it. :)

This isn't cover art, it's just a crappy four panel strip and a logo. And yet it still manages to make the game seem more interesting than it actually is.

Aaaaanyway... Crappy box art like these (especially BoF2) make me laugh and laugh, mostly in embarrassment.
