You know what I hate about topics like this? You always get those jokers who list like every gaddam box art known to mankind and it ruins everyone else's chance to get some grogclout. And you gotta brofit/prestigious them because they listed TRUE shit but you know they stole like 40 other peoples thunder in doing so.

Like I wanted to mention WAY more but doing so now would just be redundant and make me look like a tracer. Man, these the sorta niggas that when asked "what's your favorite ___?" they can't resist listing five things at minimum. They also pull that shit like, "oh these three choices could all be #1 depending on the day/moon cycle."

If I ever make a topic like this and some pumpkinheads try to kill it by taking all the good choices in one or two posts then I'm comin' to yo house, gettin' in the pantry, eatin' the snacks. Try me, neegee.
You got no excuse. You've got like 8 limbs and you still fell short.

To be fair, he's using 6 of them to masturbate at any given time.
That's still no excuse.

I didn't know I should stick to just 1. I figured the art for said developer would be obscure enough esp since they are more arcade than rpg. My bad.

*Rolls newspaper*

Also here's another one that managed to cause some interest. I hear that game itself isn't very good.

Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is still my favorite box.

The faux leather texture, the embossed green dragon...

And I'll see your Ultima 7, and raise you a Wizardry 4:

I'll throw this one out. I thought the enemy dragon looked pretty dumb, but it was worth it for the Easter egg on the cover.
The cover features self portraits of the designers Bill and Rebecca Heineman

Now if only these games were half as good as their covers... What a waste of good art.

Didn't know they had breast implants in Khorinis? Or are those tits held up by magic?

Like you wouldn't burn a levitation scroll on that.

Wasn't there a thread dedicated to ONLY hawt half nude adventurers? Though, I guess a lot of these women are just rewards and not adventurers.

I'll plonk down here a pair of heavyweight contenders authored by Justin Sweet. I love these promo pieces and always bemoaned there weren't any more of them. A really strong Frazetta influence, which is always appreciated.

The loading screens arts for the first two Fallouts are amazing! Sad that the cover arts for every entry are just so meh, with a picture of someone using the coolest armor in each game.
