Probably Arcanum and AvP.

<font face="Verdana" size="3" color="#00FF00">A good cover makes one pick up the game without hearing about it.

M&M6 cover - I can't even remember what the cover was but I think it had a party fighting a red dragon. The cover was what introduced me to the M&M series, as well as the Heroes series.

King's Quest 8 also had an appealing cover.</font>

I'd have to choose between Super Mario Bros (the original) or Seiken Densetstu 3

Serious Sam on the Xbox(not the pc version). Really colourful!

Non-Japanese box covers suck, for the most part. They always chenge them for an American release, and 99% of the time, it's worse. For a good example, go look at the classic Mega Man 2. They didn't think people liked anime, so they made it some carnish looking super-hero dressed in blue HOLDING a lazer. He didn't even have the buster arm.

As for favorite? I can't really say I have one. Most box covers don't really appeal to me. I'll just say Guilty Gear X2, because it has Sol and Ky on the front.

Beoulve, do you still have that cover? you have to upload it and show it to me ;) , reminds me of the American "Stryder" cover for the megadrive, you have some strange middle aged man sporting a dodgy leotard, it makes me angry to think they didn't leave the japanese cover of that game, it was so cool.

I personally don't have a favourite, i don't know....probably the Sonic the Hedghog covers for the megadrive, they always seem to catch my eye.

Warcraft 3:Night Elves cover

Septerra Core

Hmmm, I wonder why you like it so much?

And for me it would be the Majesty Cover, I never knew why but a kingdom in the palm of my hands sounded so fun, and it was!

Firestormalpha 09-22-2003 09:22 PM

Hmmmm.... I don't have one. Well maybe the original FF for NES. No not the Origins that came out for PSone. I mean the real original.

Kakero 09-23-2003 12:18 AM

Deathlock 2 : Shrine War. Seeing human and the tarth standing side by side is cool.

</font>[/QUOTE]My god thats hilarious, thats possibly even worse than the Stryder one, makes me think how blind Capcom America were, and what's he holding?? A ray gun? [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]
Thanks for posting it, it was worth the laugh ;)

Worst. Game cover. Ever

Most game covers today are pretty good, as most game artists actually spend time on their covers. Most FF covers are pretty cool. They're normally just a logo on a white background, but the logos are always so detailed and impressive.

Gokuzool, FF tactics hasn't come out here yet but that cover is just awesome, Akihiko Yoshida is an excellent artist, i must see more of his works *__*

Indemaijinj 09-23-2003 02:45 PM

The 5CD box that Riven comes in is pretty neat in my opinion.

Deadlock 1 used to be one of my favorite games. How is 2?

Target 09-25-2003 09:16 AM

I think the cover for the original Elite was great, simple and effective. Plus it’s one of the greatest games ever!!! Can’t wait for Elite 4!!!
