20 Amazingly Weird Pieces of ‘Classic’ Video Game Box Art

By Chris Sims

As I’ve mentioned before here at ComicsAlliance, my love of the bizarre, over-the-top side of popular art doesn’t stop with comics. The strange world of VHS boxes from the golden age of the video store, the lurid, painted pulp covers, I love that stuff. And given that I have fond memories of video store shelves lined with NES games, it shouldn’t be a surprise that I love those too.

That’s why Neil Karassik’s Oh, Videogames has quickly become my new favorite website. Over the past eight months, Karassik has been compiling the best of the worst of retro gaming boxes, from the sublime to the downright inexplicable. So today, I’ve picked out my favorites to bring you Twenty of the Strangest Pieces of Video Game Box Art Ever!
