Bmoyn715: Box art for Phalanx AKA old guy randomly playing the banjo for no apparent reason, LMAO

Hahah... well, everything is better with an added old guy playing the banjo! 'Tis the truth!
Is there any game that has banjo bluegrass as background music? I kinda would like to try that, for the laffs. I actually kinda like bluegrass, it puts me in a good-ironic mood.

EDIT LOL!!! I actually wrote my post before I looked at those!!!!!
EDIT2: I now saw all the boxshots with the Banjo man added. Seems like my words proved prophetic in reverse.

Drelmanes: 25- Why so happy?*

I can't compete with this level of awfulness although with a cover like that you have to wonder what the game was like.
Just stumbled into this one on mobygames which manages to make a subject like D-Day drab. I can only assume they decided they wouldn't reach their target audience if it looked to offer any excitement or entertainment.

Cho Aniki for PSP. Rather disturbing. (Thomas the Train cameo?)

ElPixelIlustre: Ico's USA cover.

Bmoyn715: Man I wish the US got that cover, The Euro one I mean

Hear, hear -- The north american box art had a decidedly "Thy Dungeonman" flair to it.

A couple I can remember off the top of my head:
But before showing the bad ones, here's the box art for the Japanese version of the very first Bomberman game on the PC Engine. It's simple and rather charming.
I have shown you that, so that I can show you this: The US cover of the very first Bomberman game on the TG16 (US version of the PC Engine).
Ugh.
And for my second choice, the cover art of Strider II. I thought it captured the lithe, wiry hero of the series really well. "You make Strider MAD! Strider SMASH BAD MANS!!!"

RahaMies: Link broken.

That's odd, I just clicked on it and up it popped. Perhaps this will work instead. Edit: It brings up the main page for that, you can click on the cover art picture along the right hand side.
Also, I just noticed someone has already posted the Bomberman cover. Grr.
