The cartridge art was always so kickass. You just had to use your imagination quite a bit... (startrek.website)

VHS covers were the same way.

None of this is in the movie.

Also, it's a terrible movie that was on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

It depends on the movie, og terminator VHS slip art is fucking great. Also honorable mention to monty python and the holy grail.

The VHS covers of the 80s-90s Godzilla movies were so good. I still have those tapes for the art.

It was apparently worth the time and money to make four of these movies.
