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

Why in the fuck does bad box art Mega Man exist if this cover is a thing?
