Top of the funniest, strangest and most ridiculous video game covers: when the designer didn't bother at all

In the age of the advanced Internet, the cover of a game is not a determining factor when purchasing: reviews, testimonials and gameplay videos mean much more. However, not so long ago there were much fewer sources of information about new projects, and it was the face of the game, its cover, that had the greatest influence on sales. Probably every developer and publisher considered it their duty to design a disc or cartridge in a cool way? No matter how it is! The strangest, most ridiculous, funny and frightening game covers are in this material.

Is anyone interested in looking at the characters' faces? «Of course not,» Insomniac Games decided when releasing its shooter Fuse!

However, not everyone agrees with this statement...

The main thing is that there should be unbridled joy on their faces...

...and not like here!

You don't have to worry about the character's pose (someone tell Mega Man where the toilet is)...

...and what the hell is wrong with his hand?

The cover should form an understanding of what the game is all about. This one is definitely about space...

...this one is about wrestling...

...this one is about chess...

...this one is about crazy racing...

...this one is about a ski slope overflowing with drive...

...this one will definitely put you in the New Year's mood (hey, why is everyone so serious?)...

...and this one... about a clown who gets lost in a maze?

This one is about the strange Pac-Man...

...this one is about an evil bun...

...this one is about a guy who, although he ran away from his wife into space, is still not far enough...

...this one is about fighting sleep...

...and this one is about the incredible feeling of free flight...

...this one is about Vikings shooting from their fingers...

...this is about real masculinity (although up to the coolest men in video games these guys fall short)...

...this is about how to raise a substantial jackpot...

...this one is about fishing...

...this one is about King Kong...

...and this one about... the devil knows, I give up!

Just don't put unintelligible nonsense on the cover...

...well, they asked...

...stop...

...and don't make mistakes in the name (is it really so difficult is it correct to write Revelations?)...

Show creativity (what about insert the cover into the cover?)...

...add a pinch of sexuality...

...and if the game is based on a movie, then just choose a good shot...

...and don't forget to note how cool your project is!
