What is your favorite cover art?

Try posting them again.

I think you might have to post a certain amount of times before being allowed attachments in your post. I know for a little bit I wasn't able to post pictures until I hit a certain amount of posts. I don't remember how much though.

 

I got it. But couldnt it be a metter of moderation approval, too? Like, could it still be in a "pending" stage?

 

That could be the cause. You could PM a moderator and see if they could take a look at it.

 

Posting attachments on ASSEMblergames usually doesn't work very well. It's best just to host images on another site and then insert them here using the "

 

The NTSC cover art is terrible compared to the PAL one. As a matter of fact, if I go long enough without seeing it, I forget what it looks like.

Strangely enough, the NTSC-J cover was pretty awful, too.



I guess I like 'em black and red!

Twin Snakes was another case where the NTSC cover was totally horrible compared to other regions. I've always hated it when the bloody main character models are just lazily pasted onto the cover, as if to say, "You play as this guy, and it's 3D... What more do you need to know?"

 

The cover for one of my favorite games of all time, Deus Ex:


It's basic, heck not even THE BEST cover as far as PC games go, but man is it striking. It sets the game's tone perfectly before you even install and launch the actual game.

 

If we're going back really far, then this would be my favorite old cover art.

It looks so vintage now. You see the 70's just by looking on the cover art.
Beautiful.

 

The Atari had some beautiful art. Had little to nothing to do with the game inside, but awesome nonetheless.

 

In a world filled with HD remakes and remasters, Deus Ex stands alone. Where art thou?

 

Jet Set Willy

 

I love PS2 manuals from Europe version of "The Silent Hill Collection". In most SH4.

 

It needs no remastering, which is why it can stand and be great as it is among the remasters and the like.

 

As a kid and still now

 

Anyone?

 

But wasn't the PS2 port missing a lot? I've always been more of a console person, so I never got the full extent of Deus Ex. Although any PC could probably run it now. The gameplay does indeed hold up. That's one of those games that doesn't age.

I was waiting for Phalanx! So good.

 

Jitsuwa Kaidan: Shinmimi Bukuro for Playstation Portable.



It was a terror visual novel about japanese urban legends.

 

It was cut quite a bit compared to the PC release, but the PS2 port was interesting by how the levels were altered to cover those cuts. Combine that with the animation of models being mocapped with some slightly enhanced graphics, it feels like a different game entirely.

EDIT: Oh yeah, almost forgot the health system was simplified in the PS2 port.

 

Was thinking about this today and thought about the famicom disk system. some of those FDS games had some nice cover art.

 

I've always been fond of this one:
