(superlative) adj. + boxart

Recommended Posts

I couldn't find a boxart thread and the Super Mario 3D World box makes me so damn happy I thought we needed one.

Rules:

Post a pic or two with the text (superlative) adjective + boxart. For example:

 

super-mario-3d-world-big_zps8806c31a.jpg

Best boxart

 

 

It needn't be best or worst, it could be anything. For example:

Beefcake boxart

 

 

It needn't alliterate either. Add some commentary if you like. For example, I miss the simplicity and synergy of the Master System and Mega Drive boxes, like old books that shared jacket designs and felt like part of a collection. Also, I'm not sure what's going on with the dwarf's right leg there.

The reading comprehension level on these forums is appalling.

 

Maybe a thread addressing this issue is in order?

Nah, don't want to clog the boards up with frivolous, pedantic threads!

I like how they forgot to put in a background layer, so all you see is the transparency pattern.

You know, i see Phalanx's box art pop up pretty frequently whenever people decide to compile lists of the worst box art, but just now... I think i just realized...

The ship, did they use an image of an X-wing? I swear, it looks like an X-wing, flying left to right, tilted towards the viewer. You can even see the astromech droid.

It certainly doesn't look like the ship in the game.

That is a painful looking crotch.

I see a banjo, but not a banjo player. I'm going with Phalanx.

When I was a teenager, I always kinda liked the Phalanx box, it was just weird looking sitting in the middle of the rest of the rentals at my local video store.

Yeah, people give it a lot of shit, but it did at least get my attention enough to make me pick up the box and look at the back of it to see what the hell the game actually was, so I deem it a success.

I'm sort of impressed that Metal Gear Solid managed to stop the marketing people from leaving off the screenshot with Meryl's frequency on it.
