I don't think I had any game back in the 90s which didn't have pretty cool boxart.
We got a nice cover for Megaman over here.

I'm only going by own experiences, but I do know what Nintendo was quite big here in Scandinavia. I'm sure that Sega was here too, because I did see it a little bit, and heard it mentioned on odd occasion, but it was not very visible to me.

I for some reason was thinking about something else in my head, and I can't recall what it actually was from, it was like a barebones pencil drawing of Wiley's fortress or something. I think maybe it could have been from a cartridge label but I can't find it. Whatever it was, that was my bad.

No, that actually looks fine. The European and Japanese covers look much better than the American one, then.

No, man, it was like the clamshell for a VHS tape, but the plastic all red and it had a slot inside for the cartridge, and it had the cover art on the front, the Euro one (because Euro).

I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS MEGAMAN 1 HAS BETTER MUSIC SLOWED DOWN.

European Mega Man covers are the GOAT.

who thought that boxart was a good idea

Europeon cover was so much better, it looks like an actual painted movie poster, rather than that child-like crayon mess.

I remember we even had ours in what looked like a large VHS case.

So, I go to YouTube yesterday and there's a video called "Mega Man (NES) (Teens React: Retro Gaming)" on the front page.

Bored, I click, expecting to see something horrible. Instead, despite a couple dumb comments near the beginning, most of them seemed to be having fun by the end. One of the kids even said he can see why it's a classic.

Anyway, they're all pretty bad at it, but it's an enjoyable little video and it's nice to see teenagers enjoying a classic.

The PAL covers for Mega Man 1 and 2 were vastly superior to all others.
