When ever they make these lists they should just put the entire SMS library down under one number.

Bacon, Bacon, Bacon, IT'S BACON!!!!
I don't see why ironsword is on there just because of fabio! He does take away from it but not much he was like todays Arnold
Hmm, an earlier list had Ninja Golf in #1... obviously going for 'bad' rather than 'so bad they're good', which actually makes a lot more sense when you think about it.
This quote from the page is classic:
"It's pretty obvious that the guy who designed the Megaman cover had never even played the game. Megaman is not some senior citizen with a yellow t-shirt."!
I always thought the Fabio one was not bad at all.
This list seems a little better than the other one.
I'm not sure what the game is but #8 is horrible
There were some okay ones. Spellcaster would have had a brilliant cover if the backdrop was black instead of the traditional SMS white-checkerboard BS. Zillion's cover art is actually really well done! The computer terminal represents a major part of the game, and the flat shapes complement blue gridlines in the rediculously overused SMS backdrop. Phantasy Star and Y's Book of Vanished Omens look pretty cool as well.

What's wrong with the Power Instinct cover?
I still think the blue-on-white gridlines are evocative of graph paper and math homework more than anything else.
