A few weeks ago we went to discover five of the most beautiful covers in the history of video games, however we must admit that over the years there have also been some unwatchable atrocities. These five covers prove that there is no limit to the worst!
Kong (Commodore 64, 1983)
Not only was it a carbon copy of Donkey Kong, but it also had a cover bordering on indecency, both in construction and appearance.We don't even know where to begin to describe what's wrong. Kong's hyper-realistic mouth, first of all, it instills terror and disgust, we also don't understand why the man with the hammer has such a long nose. It is also difficult to understand the woman's inappropriately bored expression, given that she is being held in the fist of a giant ape. Finally, we cannot even ignore the name of the software house, look likewhich being written large at the top of the cover has led numerous gamers to mistake it for the real game title.
Pro Wrestling (Master System, 1986)
We realize that it was not at all easy to make the covers of the SEGA Master System beautiful, characterized by an anonymous font and a grid on a white background that it reminds one of a squared elementary school notebook.However, it wouldn't have hurt a little more effort in the creation of the Pro Wrestling cover, whose only feature, which turned out badly in the opinion of the writer, is a wrestler performing a headlock on his own head. What did we just see?
Eliminator Boat Duel (NES, 1991)
Sorry, we can't write after seeing this technicolor disaster.We ended up on a psychedelic trip due to the blinding colors chosen without any criteria to represent a speedboat racing on the ocean. Not even the rainbow is that colorful.
Bust-A-Move 2: Arcade Edition (PlayStation, 1996)
We can also understand the message he wants to convey, namely that of a game “so addictive that it should be considered illegal”.Actually, the only thing that should be illegal about Bust-A-Move 2: Arcade Edition is the covera dull imitation of A Clockwork Orange in which the unwatchable face of a man with his eyes held open by matches has been stuck into several floating balls.
Real Madrid: The Game (Wii, 2009)
“My carpenter can do it better with 30,000 lire”, said the wise Giovanni in Three Men and One Legs. In this case there are no wooden legs involved, but the impression is that anyone would have been able to do better by the person responsible for the cover of Real Madrid: The Game for Nintendo Wii.The players were stuck at random on the Santiago Bernabeu, while the title of the game, in addition to having an anonymous font, also features an unforgivable typo: Realmadrid al posto at Real Madrid.
Update: We have updated the content by adding more context in the paragraph dedicated to Pro Wrestling.
