Uncensored, lmfao, let me guess "to much gore"

I'm imagining the censoring is more nudity related.

Found the following Royo artwork amongst my collection:


Navy Moves


Game Over (Uncensored)


Game Over 2


Army Moves

Definitely a good selection of artwork used for games, imho!

Wasn't the old game box and advert art fantastic? Hand painted by some very talented people, each one had a unique style and feel. So much more interesting than many of todays efforts, which all seem very generic with photoshop/rendered art.

Looking through my old mag collection is almost like taking a trip to an art gallery. Some of the works are just brilliant!

As for my suggestions - Roger Dean did some interesting work in games like Obliterator and of course Shadow of the Beast.

I wouldn't say these were the best though - it's too hard as there are many great examples, I'll have to have a think. Worst box art would be easier!

New thread?

Amiga Power, back in the day, actually had an article comparing box art from similar games side-by-side. Some of that shit was hilarious.

WE have/had a bad game art thread, it started as a discussion on a similar thread on the WoS boards (no link, sorry).

I liked some of the box art for Ocean games, like Epic and Chase HQ

Epic is a good game. Wasted many a sunday playing ChaseHQ in the arcades.

Anyone got a box art for Killing Cloud, now that was 1 fine game and if i remember had good artwork on the box. Used to go round my dads shop, to play it on the demo amiga's after school (this was before i got 1).
