Space Voyager Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 The best bit would no doubt be when the attractive lady on the till looks at the game, frowns, looks up at you and says "Wet? What's that about then?" "It's a diving simulator! ALRIGHT!?" Suuuuuuure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civilian Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fc/Big_Top_game_cover.pngVery exciting... yaaaawn. https://www.pinkgorillagames.com/retro/quadrun%20box-thumb.jpgThe Atari VCS2600 game covers were usually VERY good, this one is an exception. https://psdtutsarticles.s3.amazonaws.com/linkb_60vgamecovers/25.jpgExcellent game, but cheesy cover...

Azrael Strife Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Do I see a resemblance with Arnold Schwarzenegger? the clown one is simply disgusting, the chicken under his arm looks like a hernia at first look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I know clowns are meant to be funny, but often feel that there's this sinister quality to them. That picture just exacerbates this image. Can't say I approve of it, but the Contra cover almost make sense, as I always thought the two main characters almost felt like homages to Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, both having acted as macho commando-types in various films such as Predator and Rambo. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetteriB Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 The artist did not only trace Arnold once, but twice Behold:https://contra-is-arnold.ytmnd.com/ Another traced NES cover:https://solidreese.ytmnd.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Voyager Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 When it comes to lazy cover designs, it's hard to top Hugo's House of Horrors. They went for "what you see is what you get". Definitely better than Contra... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetteriB Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Yeah, that pretty much describes it. Except this one plays exactly like Sierra's old adventure games where you move the character with arrow keys and type the commands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetteriB Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 https://parasiitti.org/stuff/hugo3_front.jpgThird game in the series and the boxart isn't getting any better. But hey, at least it showcases the game's "awesome graphics"! https://parasiitti.org/stuff/hugo3_back.jpgI just love the overly-ambitious back cover blurb (for the record, this game was released in the same year as Doom and X-COM) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
