Day 25: It's so shiny

[Toffer]

Morning all!

What's your favourite box art for a game? Something that you saw that really made you think, 'yeah that looks awesome'. It's a shame that we have digital downloads in some ways because in ten years time boxes may become obsolete.

Sad times.

Syndicate on the Amiga came in an unpracticably large green box. It was nice though.



bah... looks less good now. Oh well.

What's your favourite box are for a game?

Sad times.

Sad times indeed

[MarkuzR]

Favourite... I'll have to think about that. Most pivotal is this - The Pawn by Magnetic Scrolls. It is the reason I begged my parents for an Amiga and is solely responsible for getting me into computer graphics in a big way. Were it not for this game, I probably wouldn't be a designer and there likely wouldn't be a GamingLives.



For favourites though, it'd have to be one of these...

[Blucey]

hahah I remember when The Pawn came out too. Fuck me, next level graphics (on a text adventure!)

That Borderlands art is really nice.

Sad times indeed

Fuck off and die but in a totally nice and pain free way

This was the first thing that came to mind for me. Also:



The Dead Space box is brilliant.

I love Darwinia's box art:


Also the Civ 5 one is pretty impressive:

^ Loved this as a kid, box was massive and it just looked cool.
