Shamefully Bad Game Boxart Of the Moment (#4)

Coming up with a decent looking cover of the arcade classic ‘Pac-Man’ should prove to be easy enough. Just draw up the simple-looking Pac-Man in all his 6-Bit glory, compose some mazes with furious ghosts coming after you and then you should be on your way to designing an adequate cover that depicts Pac-Man accurately. However, whoever designed this cover went the complicated route, resulting in a perplexing cover that represents Pac-Man as a buck-toothed, fat-cheeked cookie eating odd-ball who gets chased by horny (look at the expression on the red one’s face…) ghosts throughout castle settings. Actually, come to think of it, I think the cover star on this one is, in fact, an imposter. Why else would he be wearing a shirt that displays Pac-Man in his true manner? Maybe the asterisk by the title informs us in a hidden spot on the box that this is indeed not really the Pac-Man we all know and love… hmmm….
