FullAuto Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 We've had that particular wonder previously, but lets face it, it's worth seeing again. Dear me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 hehe, I mean the rest of it is bad enough, but his expression! My goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 It is the expression that elevates it beyond the norm. Surely that's one of the shots the photographer swore he wouldn't use. Classic PlayStation title!https://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h109/FullAuto_2006/Irritating_Stick_cover.jpg Drive tiny cars into people's heads!https://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h109/FullAuto_2006/karnaaj.jpg More innocent times when the mere ownership of shades made one "bad".https://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h109/FullAuto_2006/badcat.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Argh, after viewing the last couple of pages in this thread (and I think following one of the links), I'm starting to get some of these games that are still in circulation showing up as Sponsored Links in my eBay screens. teh Horror! Well, more the fact they're still in circulation than anything else. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 It's the title that really sinks it. How could you have good cover art for that title.https://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h109/FullAuto_2006/BadDudesvsDragonNinja.jpg I actually liked the game - pretty hard but fun - and I played at Spectrum +2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NKF Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I can't but help see the Star Wars Stormtrooper in that thingy in the lower left corner. In fact, that is the Stormtrooper with one of those inverted cone dog collar thingies. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Voyager Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 We've found some before! Good examples show. BTW, thank you deities for YT thumbnail preview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorondor Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Slightly off-topic as this is not cover art, but what is cover art after all if not a glorified game ad itself, so... https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iKXYw5CDVeQ/U5NPlOf894I/AAAAAAAASKM/3RMCN9RC3Y0/s1600/ha05.jpg :: Do check out this and more in a nice little roundup. And make sure you're not sipping tea, or any other beverage, as spurting risk upon reading the accompanying remarks is quite serious.

NKF Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I'd be more than happy to throw the X-Com Apocalypse ad in with that crowd, with its subtle allusion to drug addiction. On a different note, I'm surprised the blogger didn't dig into the Tetrisphere double entendres a bit more. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebritwriter Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Some covers aren't bad, some are and some really do well in explaining why there was a small demographic for female gamers at the time (Not that today's game industry is without it's hiccups) Or that is at times lack of creativity be it gritty guys with guns in a warzone or the staple anime character cast for a RPG etc. I think the real sinners for gaming advertisement these days are not covers themselves but game trailers, the clips that show epic gaming "footage" only to have that small writing at bottom "not real gameplay" I consider that to be a very misleading practice. With art cover, a lot do go their way in grabbing the person's attention to say this is exciting or worth your attention but I find this to be one of the worst of all time. https://www.gametrekker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Theme_Park_cover-300x296.jpg It looks to be done with barely any effort, it doesn't look exciting (black and white title that might well as been a barcode) or even care about its own identity. When covers don't make you consider buying the item you have to wonder if they put any effort into the game at all. Of course good covers can also betray the impression that they have might have put effort into gampleay at all such as this. https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/9/93770/2364631-snes_riseoftherobots.jpg.

Space Voyager Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Hmmm, this is a strictly personal opinion, but the only good thing about that second pic seems to be Brian May... I actually like Theme park better. https://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/SpaceVoyager/Smiley/shrug.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
