Yesterdays post about “Crazy Climber” got me thinking about modern video game box art.

They aren’t all winners, but I think you will agree many of them are much nicer than the original game box art.

I just saw the covers, and now that I have, I want to get the games even more (I’ll have to really save up and buy the system, too). I must also admit, they are better than the covers the games come with, and if it were possible, I’d also print out the covers, and replace the standard ones with these (although if I sell them…well…) At least I’ll still have the covers.
