What a guy with a banjo has to do with shooting aliens, I don't know.

Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap

Ninja Golf

It mocks itself.

90s US box art is poor

Agreed. See Ico and Resident Evil 4 for examples of inferior American box art.

More ridiculous box art for you. I could just do the other Mega Man games, but I'd be posting all night.

Strider

Dragon's Curse

Interestingly, this is a port of Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap.

Pac-Man (Atari 400/800)

Bomberman: Act Zero

Yep, that's meant to be Bomberman.

Bomberman ?

Looks more like Metriod

Pac-Man (Atari 2600)

*looks at the number beside the Atari logo*

Corrected, but I've never heard of the Atari 400/800.

I read in a magazine that the cover was done for 'heavy huh? factor.' They wanted to give people a reason to pick up the box (instead of the dozen other space shooters) and figured an old dude with a banjo is too weird not to give a second look.

A few questions

• Is the cat gonna strangle her its got that look in its eyes
• Why is she touchin the dogs undercaridge
• Why dose the horse look board
• Is it about pension fraud

 

[Whoops]

Bomberman: Act Zero

Yep, that's meant to be Bomberman.

To be fair though it does look kinda cool and beefed up. I quite like it.
