Others seem to be posting their favorite games which happen to have somewhat cool covers, even I did that with MegaMan 2. I have the impression that when you like the game then you tend to view the cover in a better light.
Partially you are correct. Nostalgia glasses can do wonders to some things. But for example, I didn't put X-wing or Tie Fighter boxes. They are nicely looking in the collection, but as something truly memorable? I think not. Same goes to the flight simulators. They are very similar and seeing a dozen of F-22 on box in almost the same way doesn't help that
. And the prerendered stuff (like f.e. jinn in Magic Carpet 2 ) looks hideous, even if the game is good. Ok, let's put some more box porn here.
While you can argue about the quality of the sequel and the third part of AiTD, you must admit that the cover art is very consistent and has a nice attention to detail.
The badass pilot and bubblegum are Epic

I will admit,
. My favourite box cover for flight simulator.
This just scream

Terminator Rampage and Witchaven - mediocre games but nice covers.
Collar grabing women with no bra and a monk with a glowing hands. Cheesy.
I prefer it to the gargoyle version. Nice "Hellraiser" vibes.
Very elegant approach.

This would be much better without the building in the background.
The Silent Hill trilogy has similar pattern when it comes to box art. Faces, staring endlessly into something. Heather is probably the most ambigious one. Is she alive, or another husk of the city flowing in ashes?
