IMBerzerk Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) I'm on board for Sears Night Stalker being the worst. There is nothing visually sensible about that box art and looking at the Mattel version that has a Han Solo/Luke Skywalker looking character on it makes one wonder....who the hell approved the artwork in the first place. A guy in an awkward standing position, wearing tight blue body suit... Wtf The rest of the Sears boxes, Although not as good as Mattel, still had some good early 80s style to them. Armor Battle, Baseball, Star Strike and Sub Hunt being some of the better ones. Edited May 25, 2022 by IMBerzerk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's the semi-stoned look he has or that he apparently has the word 'Champ' written on his T-Shirt (YOU'RE a Checkers Champ? Wow!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+the1hatman Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 What's amazing is that several of us have different ideas of who these characters look like yet none of us are wrong. You know that's good art when it sparks a sense of familiarity for so many people 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinjinhawke Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I want to play the game that the Mystic Castle box is depicting. Those people behind those gates need to be rescued by a strong and brave warrior or a nerd with a disc controller. I’m one of those. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
