    I was looking over my NES collection tonight and started picking out carts with sweet box art. The two that really stuck out were Bionic Commando (http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/589339-b...ages/box-40611)
    and Clash at Demonhead (http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/587190-c...ages/box-46893)

    When I was a teenager I felt cheated that "stupid america never got the cool anime art the japanese got" but looking back now, these kick serious ass and it's no wonder I wanted them. The art makes them look thrilling.

    what's some of your favorite old school box art?
    Here's the original Demonhead painting if you can excuse the terrible pic and the 7 yr delay

    And yeah, Cirocco did around 20 NES covers.
