I loved atari's berzerk and joust boxart so much (and data age's bermuda triangle,) that i redrew them by hand with a joystick on my c64 :)

 

also love most of imagics boxart, fathom & subterranea being a fave on the 2600 and their inty boxart is just awesome also, esp swords and serpents and microsurgeon.

I loved Casino as a kid because of the cleavage shot.

 

Now that I'm sort of grown up I'd say my favorite Atari boxes are:

Air Sea Battle, Canyon Bomber, Combat, Crystal Castles, Indy 500, Slot Racers, Street Racer, Star Ship, Video Olympics.

 

For 3rd party titles I always dug Thunderground, Tac-Scan, and any of the Imagic titles.

Seriously, I think all the Home Vision artwork is fantastic:

Especially this one:

Unfortunately the box has not been found yet.

 

Tigervision's artwork is excellent too.

 

Love Marauder:

I like Communist Mutants From Space, Xenophobe, Deadly Duck, Taz, Worm War I, Thunderground, Threshold, Gremlins, Bachelor Party :D

I could go on but I wont. :)

 

I wish Cart Art was included and if we were doing any System,

Well theres some killer 5200 artwork.

Even Zaxxon's box kicks it on the 5200 box/Cart label

I think my favorite overall is Haunted House. I also really like Adventure, Pitfall, Spacemaster X-7, and a lot of the Sears originals (especially Black Jack, Gunslinger, and Space Combat). And like everyone else said, Marauder is completely awesome.

 

I always thought that chick super-hot! ..and still do!

 

Too bad she's going to look like this in just a minute:

[sorry that's not a 2600 mutant... I can't find a screenshot online with a mutant in it, and I can't make one right now cause I'm at work.]

MATH GRAN PRIX! "Math...it's bliss..."

 

I like some of the trippy Atari boxes like Basic Math, A Game of Concentration, and Hangman. I also like the box art for Adventure and Yars' Revenge

 

Imagic definitely had some interesting box art. Mythicon seems like it spent more on the box art than anything else, particularly the games.

I think this cover of Pacman looks weird lol...i found this really funny website called the First Church of Pac-man

and i copied this quote from there speaking about the cover...

"Ignoring the fact that the maze is now a CASTLE and the ghosts all look like GRIMACE, let's discuss Pac-Man, shall me? Note the mitten-like hand, the Campbells-Kid cheeks, the freakin' buck teeth, and the thoroughly unnecessary TORSO. PAC-MAN DOES NOT HAVE A TORSO, ATARI!!!!!! "

(OK I know those aren't the real titles, but still, they are some of my favorites)

 

 

If you want to include those then you've gotta include these!

I laugh out loud every time I look at them. I wish I could get these in a real box!

 

 

LMAO! Where did you find these!?

I always liked Missile Command and Defender. :)

Yeah, me too! It made me feel like I was that guy in the artwork protecting the cities. Also the chick in the Defender art was pretty hot. :D

 

Edit: And the ship in the Defender art always looked like a Star Destroyer with the sides cut out. Now that George Lucas has actually DONE THAT to his Prequel Star Destroyers, they look exactly the same as the Defender artwork!
