    Default Whats up with the random guy on the cover of Side Arms for the turbografx 16?



    I just find it hilarious they included a picture of a random guy in some sort of space suit. When you clearly don't play as that guy. You play as a mobile suit in the game..... maybe he pilots it?

    also post other hilarously bad or misleading game art.

    Default Sidearms

    He was on the planet. The planet blew up, you see the robots fly in then you see the robots fly in. I swear he was there, he just got blown up in the intro.

    Oh the notoriously bad Mega Man 1 box artwork, he looks like a monkey in some sort of spandex suit with a hand gun.

    Looks more like an old man dressed up as Mega Man for Halloween. They go from making him look 40 years old to looking more like a kid...

    THAT is misleading. Terrible Charlie's Angles rip off to sum up a Japanese shooter game.

    I' ve heard some stories about the Phalanx box art. Apparently, they wanted a box that wasn't just a spaceship shooting like every other shooter. Also the guy on the cover didn't know what was going on during the shoot. He was in a daze.

    It's uncommon to say the least. I wouldn't say it's the usual instrument you normally run across. You may live in the hills where they filmed "Deliverance", but I sure don't.

    I think I once saw the box art for the European ColecoVision version of Mr.Do,where instead of the clown we`re all familiar with,it`s a Bruce Lee look-alike.
