From what i've seen, Zelda Twilight Princess has the best cover art. It's catchy and it has gold triforce logo.

The worst has to be Furu-furu Park, the cover is the screenshots of the game, how lame is that?

I nominate the SNES version of Phalanx for worst box art...

Oh, so bad... yet that old man looks like he could enjoy a few beers. Count me in.

I remember seeing ads for that game on the back of magazines when I was a kid, thinking "What the hell is this for?" I mean, I probably didn't know the meaning of the word "marketing", but I just knew that whatever they were trying to sell, I was never going to buy, soley because of that ad.

Now that I think about it, the old timer's pretty cool, though. Like, he's just this old guy who sits on a porch all day and plays songs to strangers for booze money...and for some reason, a space fighter is flying by. I'm sure it all makes sense when you turn on the game (sarcasm).

It might make sense when you turn the game on. But it likely makes more sense when the old man is half-tattered, playing those songs on his banjo for passersby. Oh, those were the days.

Didn't anyone ever tell you: never judge a book (or a game) by its cover? Those old Atari games had lousy cover-art. They'd have some cool picture and the game was just a bunch of dots and lines.

I choose this one to have both the best, and the worst, box art:

I like the fact that they threw the word "Professional" in there for good measure. Because, let's face it, "Baseball Stars" doesn't get the word across that professionals will be in the game.

Also, why does the guy in the blue "Mew York" hat have his head on backwards? That can't be good for his neck.

By the way, I don't know of any Baseball teams named "Samurai" or "Fantasy", but then again, I was never a big fan of baseball...

Everyone seems to have bendy, rubber bats. I heard they're illegal in the "Professional League".

Oh yeah, and one guy is a ninja.

"Hei!! Let's Throw Miracle Ball" pretty much sums it up right there. Yes, let's throw miracle ball indeed.

This is one of my favourites:

Come on, an evil looking snowman and a buff rabbit on a motorbike and a machine gun = bad ass. And since someone already posted the megaman one, I thought I might contribute this:
