Aside from the eye shadow, The Super Spy cover is aiight. Better than the game anyway. Here is the Taliban Edition:

Same here, don't think Super Spy competes with some of the others, but I will admit that font hurts. I don't know - anything with a military theme is target for a stencil font, but if I were trying to give off a bad-assed spy vibe, I'd be looking for a slicker font. Either subtle or slick, like 007. I think that gold was an attempt at that.

No, it fucking DOES. Actual serious levels of competition are at hand here. Deadly fucking serious.

I LOVE IT DUDE, flying off the handle is good shit.

Seriously though - if you'd please look at Exhibit B - Compare the fonts, which really is the worst thing about The Super Spy cover. The Ninja Combat font looks like it was drawn on a napkin then put on the box. Even if we aren't taking the HORRIBLE mongoloid art into consideration, I think the winner of shittiness is clear.

All the Mahjong covers are terrible, they could only be loved by a Japanese person.

I thought this one was pretty terrible in particular, seeing how it doesn't have actual box art to begin with. It's just a logo on a single color background.

The US version is way more action packed:

ASO II cover is a bit uninspired, but I don't particularly dislike it.

I certainly prefer it over the 'action packed' US variant.

I think they should have run with the Manual/Label/NGCD art for the JPN home cart box art myself
