Favourite videogame box art?

Super Mario Bros 3 is One of my favourite box arts of all time! I don’t even has a NES but I really want to get my hands on this to display it on my setup! (Or get a NES also to play it when I have a bit more spare cash lol) as I feel it just radiates joy and fun with those being colours and awesome image of Mario flying!

Now I’d love to see some of your favourite box arts of all time and why you love them? Now I have tons of others I could mention and I may drop some more on the comments of this thread but I just thought I’d share this one as I was looking on eBay to try and bag a copy! Anyways happy Monday all! 😀

It's definitely the Sonic Adventure art. I feel like it speaks for itself! I've tried doing that pose and it's actually very tricky.

It's a shame that DX version that came out on other platforms has one of my least favourite covers. I just cannot believe how bad it is

For better or worse I'm a sucker for Lionhead Studios titles. I just love the cover for Black & White 2...how have we not had a VR version of this yet! 😫

This beauty here, and the sequences covers are masterpieces as well!

I was reading through John Romero's Doom Guy autobiography.

Aparently they got a male model to do the Doom Guy pose for the cover but then he just wasn't getting the pose right at all. So instead steps in John Romero to be the representative of Doom Guy on the cover of Doom.

He also mentions that the Doom logo is very apropo to the game. It was cold and technical just like how Doom broke new ground by being one of the first (if not the first) fast paced FPS shooters, and reddish orange to represent the hell that broke loose in the game's story.

I love this one just because it's so iconic, it makes me excited to play the game and it gives me that nostalgic feeling. On top of that, it's just a great piece of art and it really captures what it's like to play as the titular character...

I remember when I saw this artwork in a physical store the year the game was released, I thought it was different, I was younger at the time, and I ended up buying the game just for the cover. Today I think it's one of the most beautiful pieces of physical media I've ever bought or even seen!
