Favorite All-Time Videogame Box Art Rated

Thanks to GameSpy for its feature discussing and rating the best videogame box art of all-time. The author cheekily argues: "Video games have indeed been graced with some wonderful covers over the years, art that you'd be proud to put in a frame and hang on your wall for all to enjoy... Except when girls come over, when it must be hidden in the closet", before highlighting game covers including Pinball Construction Set ("Rather than showcase a typical pinball scene like most pinball games have done, this cover is mostly symbolic"), the non-U.S. cover for ICO ("Impressionistic and surreal, as if it's capturing a moment in fantasy or memory rather than reality"), and DOOM ("Bottom line, this is a classic.") What's your favorite game cover art of all time?

[Anonymous Coward]

most games I had were just floppy disks with a name written on them..

No Atari boxes.

Atari had great artwork on their boxes. Actually, they set the standard for others that followed.

Check out Defender, Berzerk and Missle Command

Even Mattel Intellivision (boo, hiss) had some cool artwork.

Article seemed kinda biased to late 80s / early 90s if you ask me.
