I'll just leave another one of my favourites here. :) really love this shot and angle. If you take a good look you'll see some new detail every time. https://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/1046-terra-nova-strike-force-centauri-dos-front-cover.jpg Indeed, the cover is subtle but detailed, like …

I'm still less than 18 hours into BaK and nearing the end of Chapter 1. I'm already thinking ahead to the next game I want to play and I believe it may end up being Cybermage. I played a few minutes the other day when I was testing graphics performance between the ARK1000 and CL-GD5430 (my fastest …

Fire at Will? What did Will do to deserve that? My brother's name is Will, so "Fire at Will" and "through sheer force of Will" have always been jokes between us. Will was driving enemy tank. Nothing personal, really. On serious note, the game's AI has a certain flaw, that a tank will default to …

If emulation was perfect, sure. But it actually sucks. Of course emulation is not perfect, but saying it sucks isn't really accurate. Just getting a nicely scaled full screen 2D image in dosbox is a PITA whereas my native dos pc drives the LCD perfectly. What PITA are you talking about? I have yet …

Both excellent, I have a feeling the original style is inspired from still paintings of military objects in real life. An example that comes to mind : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Odqg6_k5E8 In any case, I hope more Vogoners would post pictures of their game cover. Computer game boxes are …

To be honest, I found myself less and less relying on retro computer hardware to play old games. The primary reason I build retro machines is to play unaccelerated, textured mapped 3D games in 640x3480 and above; GLide games; and games that only runs on Windows 9x. But CPU gets faster, making it …

The cover of Air Force Commander is probably the opposite of that of the F-16 Combat Pilot previously posted. While F-16 Combat Pilot's cover heavily advertises the game's strategic element, the cover of Air Force Commander gives the impression that the game is merely another flight simulator. Only …

Navy Strike has such subtle front cover. The back cover is still dominated by the color black, but with nice, colorful screenshots of the game. It is also one of the obscure games I own. https://i.postimg.cc/vmZmqB1Q/video-game-cover-navy-strike-front.jpg Navy Strike, front cover. https://i.postimg. …

F-16 Combat Pilot, which I found to be the most interesting box cover ever. First, it has the phrase "The First Fighter Simulation To Include Squadron Strategy". Second, it shows F-16s in small circles connected by line, with a map in the background, as if the cover designer wanted to emphasize the …

Air Combat Classics is always my favorite, because it is Battlehawsk 1942, Their Finest Hour, and Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe rolled into one --including all expansion packs! Anyway, the picture below is actually the manual cover instead of the box cover, because the former is easier to scan. …
