ThePhleo 875 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Well, I think we've finally done it. We've reached peak shitty box art in 2020. Rumor has it that this is the official boxart for Fifa 21. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DefaultGen 1,183 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Yeah, Castlevania DOS above and Karnaaj Rally come to mind . When you open up to computer games, anything is possible. Jet Set Willy's box art is positively repulsive and it's one of the most lauded games of the era. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

austin532 299 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 At least JSW has personality to it. Fifa 21 looks bland and was probably done in photoshop in 5 minutes. The box art for EA Sports games has been uhhh...interesting for the past couple of years now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DK 70 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I bet it was intentionally bad to get everyone talking about it. I never would never have given Fifa 21 a second of thought had you not been turned off by the cover and posted this. Free advertising! Pretty smart actually... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 4120 28 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Pro Wrestling on the Master System isn’t the worst its just-nope I don’t have anything to back it up. A lot of early Master System games had really cheap looking, of what I would call clip art. I think it makes them unique, but some just aren’t right, and this one makes no sense. If I were to judge this game to let’s say, Pro Wrestling on the NES just by box art alone, I’d take the NES game (I’d take the NES game over the Sega one any day in any department ). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sumez 526 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Even though the art itself is really awesome, I think the LRG release of "Humper" deserves a special mention 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I dunno if it's just the pic, but that looks really dim. That'd be awesome cover art if you could actually make out anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites

guitarzombie 234 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Some great contenders but for my money, it has to be anything from the Master System because its so incredibly fucking lazy. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nintegageo 195 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Let's be honest - US NES game art was usually ass compared to the original. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's so damn weird, and I'm not sure it's just laziness. For some reason it felt like a calculated strategy. Take this amazing cover art for Ghouls 'n Ghosts The Master System game came out later, and reused the same motive, yet redrawn to look much, much worse. There's no way it couldn't have been intentional. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G-type 159 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I can kind of appreciate the minimalist aesthetic and unified designs of the master system games. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
