Well I recently joined tumblr and I found this page which post obscure games screens,gifs, and boxart. I was really into seeing old school boxart, the good, bad and the ugly. This made me think of the old days when I use to determine a game quality by the boxart.
Take a look:

Metal Max 2 (Crea-Tech/Data East - SNES - 1993)
Go Go Ackman 3 (Banpresto - SNES - 1995)

Cosmic Avenger (1982) on Colecovision by Universal.
Burning Force (Namco - Genesis - 1990)

The Super Spy (SNK - Neo Geo - 1990)
(The Dreamers Guild - 1994)

Conquest of the Crystal Palace

Good game, no one knows about it

 

[Messofanego]

Which is the one that gets posted in best boxarts thread of this huge black ship like really complicated structure with the game title in huge yellow letters? It's an old PC game.

Loved Conquest of The Crystal Palace.
Played the hell out of it.

 

[demidar]

Soldnerschild looks really similar to Kojima's art.

 

[Messofanego]

That's the one!

Wow, is that the actual game's name?! Has anyone ever played this?

 

[cyborg009]

Pretty cool looking one

Elemental Gimmick Gear (Birthday - Dreamcast - 1999)

 

[Kazerei]

I remember seeing this at a friend's house, and thinking it looked super cool :lol

Shadowrun (Genesis)

 

[meltingparappa]

This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

"No, after YOU, Mr. Boar!"

The game is available on iOS under "Inherit the Earth", by the way. Pretty good game at the time!

[EloquentM]

what're you doing on that boxart trunks?

 

[Shadow Hog]

That "The Dreamers Guild" one reminds me an awful lot of Inherit the Earth for the PC... same game, I take it?

 

[Dennis]

The Awesome and Shadowrun covers are great but I don't think they are obscure at all.

Two classics known by all gamers.

 

[Lumpy Onion]

Curse for the Megadrive. Horrible obscure shooter that has very nice boxart.

I don't know the game but the box art is in german and literally says "Inheritants of the Earth - The great Search" so I guess it's the same.

"No, after YOU, Mr. Boar!"

The game is available on iOS under "Inherit the Earth", by the way. Pretty good game at the time!

I had it a long time ago. I remember liking it, but got to a part where I couldn't figure out how to get passed and gave up and never went back.

 

[Messofanego]

This is a good place for PC games.

One of the most cherished games in my collection.

This is so bad its bad.

I was looking at the box today for this game and it is weird because the printing seems kind of grainy. I wonder why. You can't really tell from this jpg though.

 

[mokeyjoe]

Obviously not obscure, just terrible, but I'm surprised we got this far without this:

Yeah, I already bought it!

Now I have 3 copies of the game.

 

[Messofanego]

I doubt anyone has played Mystery of the Druids, even if it's become a meme by now.

I absolutely love that game. I just wish it would be put on Virtual Console or something.

Yes it was a shmup. But damn if it isn't one of the worst I have ever played. Very Proud to have it on my shelf though for obvious reasons.
