As American covers go, I quite like this. Psycho Dream was planned for a US release under this rather odd title Dream Probe but Sega had just recently bought Renovation out. Despite it being apparently ready for release they scrapped it due to Sega not wanting to release anything on a competitors console. They did the same with Japanese action-rpg Neugier, which was also scheduled for US release from Renovation under the title The Journey Home: Quest for the Throne. Shame that these things happen but that’s life.

No accounting for good taste. Here’s another stinker:

Good label examples:

Super Metroid

Contra 3

Demons Crest

 

Bad label examples:

Final Fantasy Series

Zelda

Secret of Mana

Earthbound

 

(A lot of the RPGS got bad , non creative, bland labels)

And yet the many of those same games got fantastic artwork with the Super Famicom versions.

Super Famicom had some great box art.

The disparity of quality is so evident in the box art of Choplifter III.

So for all you in the North American territories you get Choplifter III Box FrontImage Enlarger

As far as Europe goes we got something similar Choplifter III Box FrontImage Enlarger

Those lucky enough to own the Japanese release Choplifter III Box FrontImage Enlarger

I don’t mind the Lawnmower Man one. I cringe every time I see the US art of Rival Turf or Brawl Brothers. Why God, why?

I thought the Lawnmower Man one was creepy as a kid. 

 

I’ve always liked Aero Fighters.

It’s still creepy. One can’t deny it’s an impact image, it just leaps out of the cover. Good stuff.

 

Here’s a nice one.
