My personal one, 6-year-old brain thought I’d be basically in the UK TV show Knightmare I got some vertical frogger

Cover for Obliterator on Atari ST looked so cool. Game was a weird, slow, springy platform with odd controls.
Phalanx comes to mind
I feel like that’s the opposite. The cover is weird AF and has nothing to do with the fact it’s a pretty good sci-fi SHMUP lol
Unless you got hyped up for hillbilly banjo slappin’ action and were disappointed it was a shoot 'em up… 🤔
Some banjo action was expected!
Jk it was a fine game and had an awesome cover in a weird way.
Oddly enough, I ended up buying Shadow Dancer specifically because the cover was so bizarre.
An old man with a bat protects a young woman from a plate armored man attacking both of them with a longsword, as a scared dog flees into a burning city in the distance.
Love it!
Is this the game where the main character gets hit by a bird while on a roller coaster?
I haven’t played this since it was new, so my memory is a little foggy…
They were joking about that happening to Fabio, the model on the cover.
Unofficial model. They did the same thing with contra when they had Arnold and Sly on the cover.
Oh really? That’s interesting.
Damn I forgot all about this, that was a serious birdstrike
just about any game from the 80’s 8bit era was sold by the tape insert’s artwork… but that artwork was so fine I do miss it today.
Having the equivalent of movie posters as games’ cover art was awesome, if terrible for showing what the game was.
It always amazes me that the European version of Mega Man has a fucking fantastic cover
Defender was nice, but the cover made me expect too much
It took me years to start the Monkey Island Series because the cover for Monkey Island 2 was too scary for me.
There’s nothing disappointing about monkey island
Escape is.
Title is fucking metal. Box is wild. Panned as one of the worst games ever made
