In lieu of the other thread, what are some of the best box arts you've seen for video games? Pic related in my opinion. I'll dump a few to get it rolling.

I'm really fond of all of the Guardian Legends boxes honestly. Japanese feels somber and Cyberpunk as fuck, where the American cover feels like it's right off the cover of a 1950's science fiction novel.
