How did I miss this thread, some truly awesome stuff that's even inspired me to try out some of the games listed. Damn even our box art has massively declined.

WOW, that is SICK! :D

Yeah original AitD boxart is fantastic (all three) but AitD 2 is not worth it IMO.
Where the first game was a delicious lovecraftian survival horror adventure, the second is a dumbed down action game with terrible, terrible controls.

Don't forget that the "terrible, terrible controls" also applies to the first game.
True but there it sucks less because there are like 10 monsters, 5 of which killable directly. AitD 2 is infested with clumsy, awkward combat. (may be pulling those numbers from ass but general point stands.)

You don't.

AitD 2 is really, REALLY fucking bad. Play 1 and 3 instead, they have cool box arts too :M

I like to view Alone in the Dark 2 as a survival horror from the point of view of the "bad guys". Story is after all : some guys throw a party in a house, a crazy detective dresses up as Santa Claus and kills them one by one with a frying pan.

Too bad Sega can never quite agree if Alis has normal pants or tights.

The western Way of the Samurai 3 box was great, shows the ability to act like a thug or "true Samurai" (Just ignore that this one was set before Bushido became a thing)

Huge improvement on the Japanese box, which was just a screenshot of the pre-rendered intro, and one of the few times I can say the US box art was better.

Do any of you gentlemen know if any of these box covers are available online in high resolution, all nicely ordered in one place, so that they may be printed and turned into posters? Been looking for something to put on my bare, depressing walls. Guess my best bet is google images, though...

The final fight neo-geo cover posted here is phenomenal. Really have that gang arrogance down.

It was spoiled by agentorange so i'm going to take the liberty of reposting it so lazy fuckers can see it
