Amazing art but it's actually kind of disgusting how much they oversold the games. Just looking at that art you expect some amazing gritty wild west adventure for Outlaw, but I looked at the gameplay online and it's just laughably bad. Like a joke really. No wonder there was a video games crash. To think people were paying top dollar for this back then.

The art is still great and the 2600 still had amazing games. But damn. Lol.

Nobody expected that back then when most people were only familiar with Pong and maybe Space Invaders. You're actually retarded lol.

Not to mention they would put a screenshot or two on the back.

>>12341493
They still hid the reality of the game though behind cover art that was basically completely unrelated,

They didn't have internet back then and gaming magazine were probably limited if they existed at all. People would pick up what they thought looked cool then be treated to an absolute piece of dog shit where you control stick figures with a giant stick figure cactus in the middle of the screen kek.

Was Altered Beast alright, or did gaming mags from 20 years ago lie to me (again)?

>>12341661
Its alright but its part of the big sprite gaming fade of the late 80s.

>>12341661
Cool gfx & music, mediocre gameplay. Good enough for a couple of quarters, especially with a friend.

>>12341661
yeah, it was ok. so was Golden Axe. 1990 was ok if you liked licensed stuff.

Elaborate artwork inspires the imagination and makes simple computer graphics more engaging as a result, this design concept is foreign to media consumers whose media carries all the interperative weight leaving consumers creatively underdeveloped. Read one book this year

It's so fucking lame, thankfully the rest of the title is pretty decent, but this was disappointing to me.

The <1993 Sega CD boxart was so aesthetic. Reminds me of NES Capcom boxes. The Sega CD logo commanded a high respect from me as a kid. If they had kept it and trimmed it down to a standard cd-jewel case it would have been a 10/10

Ooooo, I quite like this one! The ghost faces are amusing and the composition is genuinely good, though maybe I would adjust the spider a little bit. Goes to show that you can draw simple and still make something that looks nice.
