    Default Day 25: It's so shiny

    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.

    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...





    Oooooooh it's an invisible signature... oooooooooh!!

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

    That Borderlands art is really nice.

    I love Darwinia's box art:


    Also the Civ 5 one is pretty impressive:
