we made a shitty game but i have an idea to sell a few copies, let me design the cover for you


Recommended Posts

but those are good games at least? i don't know, i haven't played any of them but surely they have more fun value than pantyless ping pong?😏

I found Kaboom! for the 5200 in a thrift shop a few years.  I have to say it made me chuckle and was intrigued.  It's just so bad.

I have no clue if it's a bad game, but I was compelled to buy Skullmonkeys 100% by the cover.  I'm a sucker for claymation.

Last there's Ghost Lion.  I never saw this in stores as a kid, but I must say the appeal to own this game by the cover alone is still pretty dang strong.

Ghost Lion is easily a top 5 NES boxart for me. So good and so bad. I don't know if it qualifies here though, because the game is actually decent.

Yeah, I've never played any of these games.  Even Skullmonkeys is a +$100 title, so I assume it's good.  Kaboom was remade a few times, so I assume it's good for what it is, and I have no clue about Ghost Lion. I don't know anything about it, other than the box art.

Ok, so here's attempt #2 after scrolling through a bunch of box art.  This HAS to be a terrible game.  This looks like they are trying waaaaay to hard.  Billy Bob teeth and Macho Man glasses?  Lol, what?

My problem is I was never into digital/hand drawn ladies as a means to attract me to a game, and of the few games I've bought due to the cover, I don't think I was ever disappointed.  They may not have been the greatest games in the world, but none that I bought were out-right bad and a disappointment.  I guess I was lucky.

I’ve felt a compulsion before to pony up the $$ for a CIB for no reason other than the awesome cover art.  I haven’t actually done it but if the right combo of price and drunkenness were to meet…

 

i also remember someone saying they were related to her.  Don’t remember if it was a joke or not

@MrWunderful were you being serious about mom and ghost lion??

Rolan's Curse 2 was a big one for me. I was picking out a game before a big road trip and I thought the cover art was badass. Imagine my disappointment when the game was a weird hybrid action RPG instead of a sweet sidescrolling action game.

I actually went back and played it many years later and found it surprisingly enjoyable. I suspect my initial hatred was due to unfamiliarity with RPGs and a lack of patience. Still, it makes the list for me personally due to the feeling of being led astray by the box art.

american lady, why are you playing ping pong with no shorts

I guess she's not wearing shorts for the same reason that you ignored my DM 😛

Actually because of this thread, think I want to buy this game, it looks good.

I guess this counts, but I doubt anyone really thought it would be a good game except maybe @docile tapeworm.

I guess this is why I'm never any good at Pinball;  I'm always dressed too warmly.  

Probably, not to get petty about it. Hated watching you lead this game to destruction 😉
