Mystery of the Druids

Hehehehe. Truly, the face that launched a thousand Photoshop memes. This screaming horror show isn't even the game's villain (and what a dreadful, dreadful game it is), but it doesn't matter. Nothing could give this pop-eyed screamer the sense of beardy menace it's obviously going for.

Terlihat seperti cover komedi-horror ato mungkin bisa dijadikan meme

Druid: Daemons of the Mind

If there's anything that gives Mystery of the Druids a pass, it's that nobody else seems to have worked out how to make druids look scary either.

Ekspresi mukanya ga nahan euiy

Virtuoso

Two terrible covers! I don't know which one to pick—the appallingly drawn US version, or the UK one where the rockstar version of Mr. Magoo doesn't seem to know where his enemies are! Luckily, both were wrapped around the same game—a truly wretched third person shooter with all the mastery of a piano player with sledgehammers instead of fingers.

Apakah ini rockstar yang menyerang monster aneh dan robot

Rollerblade Racer

Ouch! You just got punched in the face by both the 80s and the 90s! It doesn't get much more extreme—nay, XTREME—than this. The actual game of course was considerably less colourful, because it had no choice.

Lebih baik backgroundnya sebuah jalan raya atau ruangan dance daripada warna-warni yang bikin pusing

Toonstruck

You'd think that if you were creating a game with the hook "Christopher Lloyd interacts with toons like in Roger Rabbit", the first job would be convincing people that you could actually, well, draw. But no! Far better to serve up this glorious exercise from How To Not Entirely Suck At Photoshop In 28 Days and help guarantee a great adventure languish in obscurity for years. Hurrah for GOG finally bringing it back to the market so more can play it.
This of course was just the horrible US cover. The UK got a very different box. It wasn't exactly attractive, but it was definitely eye-catching...

Sumpah! ini lebih mirip cover komik horror daripada cover game

Beyond The Black Hole

That's a sink. You're falling into a dirty sink. Or possibly the Ubisoft logo. If this was the world's welcome to stereoscopic 3D, it's no wonder it died on its arse. "With your GrenoVision goggles locked in place, the entire computer comes alive!" it promised back in 1989. You're probably wondering if this claim was a little over-ambitious. You will not be surprised to hear that yes, yes it was.

Cover ini mengingatkan ane ama film science-fiction tahun 80an macam Back to The Future banget

Tongue of the Fatman

I guess with a name like "Tongue of the Fatman", it could have been worse. Maybe. Still, when your cover consists of a face with eyes shoved up the nostrils to make an alien face, I'm going to say you've just defined the exact opposite of 'special' effect. When even Red Dwarf is willing to take the piss out of a technique... yeah, you've failed.

Sumpah ga bisa tidur setelah melihat weird face ini

Ken's Labyrinth

Back when Epic Games was Epic Megagames, the standard way of buying the full version was to send a cheque through the mail and get disks back in return. Still, a few of them did get boxed releases, and... yeah. Ken's Labyrinth wasn't exactly the grittiest shooter ever made, but it still deserved something with a bit more oomph than this hastily thrown together mass of shaded shapes. This is the worst of them, but don't think Epic's other characters got off much easier...

Bingung bingung dah tuh si guguk mo kabur kemana

Jill of the Jungle

...Pity poor Jill of the Jungle in particular. You know you've got a bad bit of box art when even the main character is looking around and thinking "What the shit?"

Postur tubuhnya yang aneh, ditambah lagi ekspresi kucing yang lebih aneh lagi

Sorcerer Lord

Ed. Note: You know those classic film posters with illustrated character montages? This isn't how you do that.

Ilusi optik ini hanya membuat orang-orang gagal paham

Circle of Blood

Adventure players will know this better as "Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars". The Broken Sword name kinda hung over the series after it lost all relevance, but at least beats Circle of Blood. Meanwhile, absolutely anything beats this hilarious gargoyle that seems to be shouting "Hey! Hey you! Buy another game! ANY other game!"

Yes,dude! that gargoyle said Buy another game! ANY other game!

Zeddas: Servant of Sheol

Sometimes a developer or publisher will realise it has a turkey on its hands and try and compensate by putting boobs on the cover. In the case of Zeddas, I think we can safely picture someone staring miserably at the game in progress, picking up a megaphone and just yelling "More b**bs!"

Ente jangan salah fokus,yo!

Dream Zone

"You know what will hook players? Some guy's taint."

Entahlah...kaki dan tangan orang ini serasa weird sekali posisinya

Bad Cat

Bad Cat! The quite craptacular Bad Cat! Whose ineffectual cover art made folks laugh and clamour to see, some of the worst art on IBM PC...

I didn't choose the thug life! The thug life chosen me!

Lollypop

AAARGH! KILL IT WITH FIRE! WITH FIRE!

Dat expression!

Low Blow

I can't decide if this is one of the worst... or one of the best.
Either way, goodness what a lot of terrible art! But is there a big stinker we've missed? Pop it in a comment, ideally with a link to its pic page over on Moby. PC only though! As terrible as, say, Phalanx absolutely was on SNES, we've got plenty of failures on our own platform to both enjoy and endure.

Jika ente merasa ngilu melihat cover ini,selamat! ente tak sendirian
