You know how indie games and direct-to-drive PC poo poo will show up on shelves at Target if it's popular enough, like Terraria and Goat Simulator

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:The three-skull ghost in the bottom right is a minor random encounter. That's the only part of this cover that is actually in the game. One of the raddest things about this cover is that I think everybody on it is actually meant to be a main character from the game, but it's like the artist had a 1-3 word description (i.e. "staff guy") to go on and absolutely no game material to reference. From top left, clockwise: Emperor Barbarossa, the hero, Leknaat, Wendy, Ted. With Futch on the center riding his dragon. For content, Phantasy Star 2 has one of those good-bad covers that simultaneously has a bizarrely different style from the game itself while still looking cool and appealing to the fantasy/sci-fi nerds who'd buy it.

One thing I've noticed is that a lot of modern games will have interior art that would make it cool to flip the liner and use it as box art, except that the name of the game isn't on the interior spine so it's impossible to know what game it is in a stack or shelf.

metricchip posted:None of this is great... I think they're okay, not because they're awesome cover art that makes me wanna buy the game, but like... what else can you put on the cover of Toobin? And since we're talking about Double Dragon and there's not a good box art thread, I always thought Double Dragon 2 NES had badass cover art:  Unsurprisingly, it's apparently unchanged from the Famicom box art.
