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

I remember there being some sci-fi shootet game for the SNES that had some old fart playing a banjo on the cover. What was that game?

I just googled it, and what the fuck?

It looks like the artwork guy got one order for a sci-fi videogame, and one order for a hilbilly folk band album, and was like "I think I know how to halve my workload!"
