Very Bad Box Art.

Post Bad Video Game Box Art and Review them.

Atari's Pac-Man:

As if they couldn't screw up the game even more,(the Atari version of Pac-Man sucks badly) they HAD to make the box art crappy. Pac-Man looks like a bowling ball with bowling shoes (a coincedence, I hope). The piece look more like bubble gum pieces (just like in the game), and the ghost look like bubble gum. And Pac-Man's face is so creepy. That face is gonna give me nightmares. I would prefer the one below (where Pac-Man doesn't look like a creepazoid):

Come on, first post didn't have the Mega Man Box Arts?

2 is more accurate than 1, since it actually has the robot masters, but...still.

***Ace Mercury*** · 08-21-2006, 12:07 PM

Yeah... I don't think there's anything that tops MM1.

Frumie Bandy · 08-21-2006, 12:17 PM

^How about the Atari 400's Pac-Man?

***Ace Mercury*** · 08-21-2006, 12:19 PM

No. That box is somewhat whimsical and fun to look at. MM1's box looks like some guy committed murder with an airbrush.

It actually looks like an armored gorilla to me. Yes, very bad box art...

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

Resident Evil loses amongst them. Castlevania's realistic Belmont looks good. As for the last one, nothing wrong with it.
