The worst Neo Geo cover art?

[theMot]

What do you think?

I would have to give it to Thrash Rally, I mean really, you look at that cover and it's four old balding, boring looking men. The acrylic paint style doesn't do it any favors either. How would that attract a teenager to play it back in the day? It looks like the kind of artwork you would expect on a 70's product, not something from the 90's.



How uninspiring.

Old mate on the right looks like he's ripping a fart.

Fatal Fury 1 US.

Right there. It is Mega Man NES bad.

The whole premise is a bit odd I will give you that. Token roid boy standing on a park bench punches Terry who then falls from a great height onto a circus tent.

Depicted in the cover art is Terry and Andy. It's actually very accurate to the game, you can do 1P Vs 2P matches during the game. Though I don't think that exact setting is anywhere in the game (closest is Raiden's stage).

It may be bad, but I love it a lot. You can even see the artist's signature in the corner.

Possibly the worst and definitely the most homoerotic...

Looks like Kurt Russell.

Totally Roadhouse Swayze.

I have to disagree that the FF cover is Mega Man bad. Mega Man is like fucked perspective, proportions, weirdness. Something you'd see on DeviantArt by MysticYOLO, but without ladydicks. FF isn't THAT BAD technically - just 80's airbrushed movie poster style.



Ninja Combat is my pick - seriously. LOL

Fatal Fury 1 US.

I prefer the Fatal Fury 1 US cover to the Japanese AES cover.
I think they thought it would appeal to the Americans more than the Japanese FF1 cover, that's probably why it's different. The fighters are changed to make them look more American than the renditions on the Japanese AES cover.

Super Sidekicks sucks, it's not even art. Plus that guy on the right looks like he's dropping a deuce in his shorts.

is that Bill Nye in the back right there?

 

[ViolentStorm]

I would have to agree with the US version of Fatal Fury, this one is not Neo related but is completely awful.

H'mmm not sure if worst or just awesome? It's soo bad it's good, intentionally goofy/funny.

I'm about to shut this thread down - worst art you could have on your AES cover?

SHUT IT DOWN.

I would have to agree that Super Sidekicks is pretty bad. I have to put this one up, not Neo related, but possibly the worst cover art ever in a game.

 

[SNKorSWM]

If we're including stuff other than neo, it'd be this one.

This one belongs to forum member beaglepuss.

Not Neo, but hell. Russell Grant, that man has a face that makes games just fly off the shelves.
