@BAMozzy I guess our demise saw a big dent in the profits of Thunderbird wine and hairspray manufacturers but probably saved the ozone from certain death. I saw those concerts too but I always preferred the smaller gigs where you were only a couple of feet from the band and could sometimes get drunk with them after. šŸ¤£ Yeh, I liked the Dogs, good fun band. It was only a couple of months back I went through my sleaze collection (Had to re record some stuff after a HDD mishap). Aside from the usual greats I think two of my stand out, lesser known bands, were D'Molls and Smashed Gladys. Both did stand out debut albums.

@WanderingBullet Ok, I swapped out the Super Metroid for the brighter image. As far as Dragon Quest VIII... I donā€™t know, thatā€™s a tough one. Thanks for picking it up. I do think Iā€™ll leave both in, since the text differences are enough to make each slightly unique. Itā€™s a less obvious difference than the Secret of Mana covers, which have slightly different cropping in addition to the large text front and center. With the DQ8 art, the art is literally the exact replica but the big ā€œVIIIā€ with the Japanese writing does set it off as separate. Iā€™ll leave them both. Possibly what Iā€™ll do for these cases is combine the votes for the game together but carry forward only the one with the most votes, if that makes sense.
Thanks for your help!

@Th3solution Hello, here are my suggestions, if I'm not too late. Please disregard if they've already been picked, I've not had chance to fully look through the thread yet.

Sonic the Hedgehog, the beautifully simple cover we got here in the UK:
http://www.defunctgames.com/decides/10/sonic-the-hedgehog-whi...

I remember loving this Pop n Twinbee cover when I was a kid. Looking at it now, it's not all that special, but I'm including it for the nostalgia kicks:

The Japanese cover art for Shining Force III. "You call that a knife" etc:
https://www.mobygames.com/game/shining-force-iii-scenario-3/c...

UK Red Dead Redemption cover. Menacing, mean, hairy:

I'll be amazed if no-one's said this Secret of Mana cover already, just look at it:
https://www.mobygames.com/game/snes/secret-of-mana/cover-art/...

Super Mario Kart, with a cover hinting at the glorious mayhem contained within the cartridge:
https://www.mobygames.com/game/snes/super-mario-kart/cover-ar...

Words can't describe how excited this Micro Machines 2 cover made me when I first saw it:
https://www.mobygames.com/game/genesis/micro-machines-2-turbo...

UK Ico cover, again I imagine someone has said this already:

Finally, my nomination for worst ever cover - the Japanese box art for Dynamite Headdy. That little puppet deserved better:

It would seem the old SNES boxes made a big impression on me as a kid...

@Gremio108 Thanks, bud. Some good covers there. A few have been sent in already, namely the Secret of Mana and Ico. And RDR being PS3 will be a candidate for the next round of modern console covers. And Iā€™ll keep the Dynamite Headdy in tap for worst cover, but honestly I donā€™t think itā€™s that bad šŸ˜›

@Th3solution Yeah, I get what you mean. That's what I did when deciding between different regions. Sometimes the text makes a difference.

@themcnoisy
Haha, to be honest i was under the impression they didn't have crunch for Doom or for most games back in those days. But maybe I'm just being optimistic.

The Yakuza cover art looks really cool. Can't believe I forgotten about it.
