games.terra.com.br— The captions aren't in English, but these horrible designs are globally pathetic. Check out these 30 regrettable game covers including Atari's version of Pac Man and Nintendo's Mega Man 2.

"Um, gangsters, punks and thugs in the 80s did look like that."No, no they didn't.Is that picture of Pro Wrestling for the Sega Master System the same as the US version? I don't really remember.Also, despite the Atari 400/800 Pac Man artwork, it was still the best port of it at the time (the c64 version was okay too, but I can't remember which came out first). Atari actually made a cartridge version of Pac Man for the c64, which was weird, since Commodore was their rival. I remember owning Pac Man on disk for my c64, published by Thunder Mountain.
Dang I have the original Mega Man and the box but my copy of Mega Man II looks no where near that. The reason the original Mega Man cover is so messed up is because the company was close to launch and then they realized that they did not have any box art. They did not want to use the Japanese so I think latterly they made that up in 10 minutes.
I'm going to have to echo the comments about Ironsword. At the time when I was a kid playing that game(one of my favs at the time), I thought the cover art was extremely appropriate and besides that, I had no idea who fabio was then. It was only years later when I saw him in that music video for "I'm Just a Girl" (I think) that I made the connection between him and the warrior on the front of the game.

Of all the hobbies in my life, I was certain that video games would be the one that Fabio would never infiltrate.
