They look amateurish because they were low budget, low priced games for a relatively tiny market.

That one's actually pretty great. It illustrates how Miner Willy is struggling to adjust to his new found wealth. Drinking Champaign until he makes himself sick, still wearing his work boots. The newspaper hanging next to the toilet is a nice reminder of his working class roots also.

You really do enjoy living in denial, don't you? If you knew anything you'd know that the reason the black box NES games all have covers that are essentially screenshots is because people felt tricked by the games they bought never measuring up to how amazing the covers looked. It's okay though, nobody is perfect.

Thats just not true. As an Aussie, when i moved to Japan the first thing i noticed was how fucked everybodies teeth are, after some googling turns out they don't have flouride in the water like you cucks. Every single British expat i meet too has fucked teeth.
