I don't know - it doesn't look any worse than those stylized renditions that Activision had on their early Atari 2600 covers.

The Ninja Golf cover isn't so bad.

[Emehr]

I think the Ninja Golf cover is perfectly adequate considering the tongue-in-cheek nature of the game. The cover would actually be bad if it tried to be serious.

Strider for the Sega Genesis (US) has a pretty lame cover.

[high voltage]

Actually, most covers post-VCS are pretty awful, be it Japanese or USA or else.

Best ever cover:

I'll also go with some of the Master System box art. Especially the Sega Card games... I mean... they didn't even try.

This one just brings back all sorts of bad memories.

okay a few more.....





Some diehard fans will disagree,but I never thought this cover was good. Why is the captain from the Love Boat on the cover!?! and he's passing the telephone to the guy who borrowed Marvin the Martian's space helmet lol.




and uhhh, I think this guy needs to brush his teeth.

Yeah, that's pretty bad. A plain white grid label against a plain white grid box. It's like an infinite regress of boring:

Why the "NEW" in the title? Was there an older Dracula game for the Intellivision that they were distinguishing it from?

Panic Restaurant, 1992, NES - this title showed up later on in the system's life. That chef looks like Mark Twain with a cold.



The character is supposed to be a Japanese ninja...why is he carrying a European style sword on the box?
