This looks like something I would see on some grade school educational pamphlets/workbooks.

I thought the days of bad western-produced boxart was behind us back during the PS1/N64 era. But alas, no one told this to the PAL regions...

I say ugly artwork bashing should just be dropped dead as long as there still are US copies of Megaman 1-2 for the NES in existance.


(but actually, to be honest, I'd love to have the original painting for the MM1 artwork)

That box art is so ugly that the first time I saw it I dropped the used game I was queuing to buy in shock. DESIGN IS NOT HARD, PEOPLE

I saw this cover at a store here, I was surprised because I thought that it was made by a fan when I saw it on the internet!
