I agree ;) Since I have scans of Genghis Khan & Destiny of an Emperor, I figured I'll post em here to save you some time ;)

Donnie beat me to it! :D

Psygnosis on the Amiga made not only (some of) the best games for the system, but also the best boxart as well. I also recall a limited edition of Shadow of the Beast 1 which included a t-shirt with the game's art on it- now how's that for quality packaging? ;)

Anyway, another personal favourite of mine:

I would say that I like alot of the famicom box art. That's half the reason I started my Famicom collection.
