It's a bit sad that the kind of look that used to be a fully-conscious design decision (and actually took time and skill to realize) is now inevitably seen as "cheap" and common, since it can be ass-pulled by any lazy designer with the right software.
I'm thinking mostly about all those NES "screen closeup" covers that were actually paper collages, though I used to have a pencil bag with that TaleSpin artwork when I was a kid, and totally loved how sleek it looked.

US and Euro releases of this game mutilated one beautiful piece of art. Just recently I began looking for original boxes after I found out what they did with the illustration on Secret of Mana's cover.

Japanese Mega Drive in general had better packaging art than their western counterparts. I don't know what was Sega's excuse for having different covers in different regions. It's not like the packaging were oriented differently between regions like the SNES.

God, most of Golden Axe covers are horrible, the one with Tyris broken knee is the worst. If i had to choose any of these abominations I'd probably choose the one with Fabio on the cover, I think it is the C64 version.
