Mocking bad old game cover art is one thing, because yes, there are many, many examples of bad box art from around the world. But there aren’t quite as many that are complete 180-degree flips from their original source. Specifically, art that is either not quite as representative, or absolutely not representative of its original intent. And sometimes the art isn’t even bad, but just kind of weird. So, before you ask where the NES Mega Man box art is in this list, at least that one still depicted a helmeted robot guy that can shoot things. And everybody knows that one. Have a look below and expand your mind.
