    I love the Boxart for "Outlaw". I am a big Spaghetti Western fan. I grew up watching them and playing VCS so the boxart is perfect. I would love to have Eastwood sign my boxart one day. I always wondered how they got away with ripping off the movie poster for "The Outlaw Jossie Wales" .

    Man, I LOVE Atari 2600 box art. A lot of them really were works of art. I think Yar's Revenge is probably my favorite if I had to pick one. Yar's is always the first one that comes to mind when I think about it. I used to draw the cover all the time when I was a kid. Every one of my folders and notebooks had that fly on it somewhere.

    There are so many great ones but a few that come to mind are Adventure, Haunted House, Chopper Command and Pitfall

    I always love to show off my X-Man (kinda funny how he's holding his private parts to protect him from the jaw, crab and scissors)


    gotta love Boing!, one of the first game to show the actual screen on the front of the box

    A true work of art, as was the game.

    Joking of course. I don't really know, I haven't spent much time with Atari box art.

    Personally, I love some of the Froggo label/box arts. The games themselves are complete trash, but for me the box art for Task Force is tops. Wonderfully minimalist in color scheme.

    A close second probably goes to Night Driver, the box art conveys such intensity!

    Me too, but that's not a 2600 game.

    Defender, it always had that 80's feel to it
