Did anybody ever look at a regular shmup cover and go "Wow I'm totes buying this"? This probably was a more efficient attention-catcher than any conventional cover.

"Dumb" would imply the people behind it did not now EXACTLY what they were doing, but it is legitimate to criticize the decision of using a generic advertising tactic outside ancillary advertisement materials, as you could argue it cheapens the public perception of the product in its idle, post-promotional phase. But back then the industry just couldn't give less of a fuck about legacy anyway
