Which game has the best box art?

[Sharingan]

Dude, Royo is an awesome artist. I have some of his art books, and the guy's a genius. Didn't know he worked on anything game-related, though.

This is his cover art for Navy Moves




And this is the 'censored' art for Game Over



Will dig out others asap

Yeah, that looks like the same style alright. Entering 'Luis Royo gallery' in Google should net you some pictures of his other works.

I have trading collections of his, so I will go through them and scan the game-cover images for you to see some of the uncensored versions

Uncensored, lmfao, let me guess "to much gore"

I'm imagining the censoring is more nudity related.

Found the following Royo artwork amongst my collection:

Navy Moves

Game Over (Uncensored)

Game Over 2

Army Moves

Definitely a good selection of artwork used for games, imho!

Wasn't the old game box and advert art fantastic? Hand painted by some very talented people, each one had a unique style and feel. So much more interesting than many of todays efforts, which all seem very generic with photoshop/rendered art.

Looking through my old mag collection is almost like taking a trip to an art gallery. Some of the works are just brilliant!

As for my suggestions - Roger Dean did some interesting work in games like Obliterator and of course Shadow of the Beast.

I wouldn't say these were the best though - it's too hard as there are many great examples, I'll have to have a think. Worst box art would be easier!

New thread?

Amiga Power, back in the day, actually had an article comparing box art from similar games side-by-side. Some of that shit was hilarious.
