Shamefully Bad Game Boxart of the Moment

Every so often I’ll start posting an image of some of the worst box art to ever grace a cover of a video game. Our (un)honorable first offender is Phalanx, a space-shooter from the ancient days of Super NES.


I mean, what other way to market a generic space-shooter than wid-a good ol’ hillybilly man wid’a banjo? Or perhaps this game is really a banjo-playing simulation where every five minutes a banjo player gets hit by a shooting space ship because, you know, that always happens in good ol’ rural Alabama? I guess we’ll never know.
