I rented many games solely based on their covers, only to be mildly disappointed when I got home. (lemmy.world)

Aren't all sprites prerendered? What is the alternative, hand drawn ones? That would go waaay back...

It wouldn't really. Hand-drawn sprites are pretty standard even today - whether they're hand-pixelled (Stardew Valley) or frame-by-frame animation (Spiritfarer).
