Not sure if these have been discussed before, but I found them quite interesting...

that's funny. his favorite, the pirate artwork, is just mr dos castle, not some strange acid-inspired re-interpretation of donkey kong.

I generally do not collect boxes and got back into classic gaming recently after a near 20 year hiatus. So, it's interesting seeing these again.
Demon Attack - Looks like flying T-Rex.
Super Breakout - Has always been mocked for its space them since it has nothing to do with outer space. The original Breakout arcade game had a prisoner busting up bricks.
Atlantis - Now, that looks really cool.
Space Invaders - This is my all-time favorite. They did everything right even down to the shade of blue for the box. I like the saucers and having three of them gives you the feel that there truly is an invasion. The details on the saucers are fantastic and the landscape really captures the feel of what a distant planet may look like.
Cosmic Swarm - I had this game and the cartridge size in itself reminded me of those over sized generic Legos you may have had. The game sucked and so does the box.

Marauder is clearly the coolest 2600 art.

Slot Racers, Slot Racers, Slot Racers...!
(yes, I love Marauder, too. Actually, I think most of the Tigervision boxes are great!)
