i miss the hand drawn art, even if some of it was terrible (Mega Man 2). It offers more to look at, and you appreciate the time and effort that it used to take to make such box art back then.
nowadays its usually just an exaggerated screen cap.

I actually like the running Pac-Man better. It's a lot more imaginative, even if that's not how anyone pictures Pac-Man as looking.Originally Posted by stonic
For the record, Atari did release 'normal' box art for 400/800 Pac-Man
Not sure which came first, but I can't imagine why they would have ever thought that running Pac-Man version was release-worthy
I just went and looked at all my current-gen games and was surprised how many actually did have hand-drawn (well, computer-drawn, prolly) art. Neo Contra and Gitaroo-Man are probably my faves.
Tangent!
Speaking of Castlevania art, does anyone know if Ayami Kojima ever did any art for Koei?
I mean, it's either that or Alucard and Maria had to find new jobs.
Gun*Nac, being possibly my favorite game for NES, has some..er.. interesting artwork.
Gosh, those flying carrots just reel me right in!
Check out Mega Man 2. That live action shot is stunning.
Negative, negative! We have a Wildcat destabilization of the ship's fusion core!
Here's some bad recent box art: PHOENIX GAMES! Take your pick. Seriously. They all look horrible.
If I had a Jynx think of the things we can do together. She also kisses alot.
Not to mention her breast plates is obviously hiding something nice

Interesting. I've never seen that one before. The running one was the one I got back in the day.
Agreed. This cover is well done.I agree. On the other hand, I love the boxart (and charadesign) for Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance.
Actually, she did create the boxart for that game.

Still my favorite box art..
