I don't think you will find worse than them. but try:)

Suikoden 1. Look below at the decent PAL and Japanese boxart

Now look at the awful American box art that I have to put up with. It has nothing to do with the game either.

Jesus! Bub & Bob look like their mashed off their tits on acid! Here's some very bad ones:

WTF??

This is just lazy! It looks like it was drawn on a Maths copy!

Attack of the Leotard Man!

Eh, dunno what this cover is supposed to represent!

Somebody's mother saving the universe before dinner!

Wonder Boy looks like he's finally cracked!! That's a creepy face!

Couldn't resist Gardener, it looks like a B-Horror movie

First Megadrive release since 98 and they decide to slap this piece of crap on the cover. Almost stopped me buying it.....*almost*

o1s1n · 02-06-2007 9:13am

Why does every single westernized cover for a Janapese game come out looking like either a bad science fiction book cover or some dodgy fantasy mush?

And then there's poor megaman.

From this;

to this

Mcj metroid · 02-06-2007 1:51pm

There were tons of bad megaman boxarts. 2 in every region was terrible.

This is a wonderful, wonderful thread...

I've been having some trouble lately with my site so I'll have to link to where I found it instead:

The original art for SF2 on the Amiga made many eyes bleed... :eek:

http://www.exotica.org.uk/gallery/games/images/s/StreetFighter2.jpg

Check out Ryu posing like a cardboard cut out on the left hand side...

And the Chun Li / Blanka perspective attrocity...

Still, back then the big games were great because there was no way marketing did them too many favours...

The worst box arts ever.
