Younger guys need to know, back then you literally had no idea what game you were really getting. No reviews, no Internet, no commercials, just box art. The only thing you separating you from a purchase is one picture. It was pretty stressful stuff lol
No lie fam...covers were deceptive lol
 
speaking about cover influence...

all the redneck kids with 4-wheelers copped adventures of bayou billy

These covers in no way represent the actual gameplay :lol:

And that's what made them so damn good!

If they pulled this today, people would ***** and whine like no ones business
 
Whoa! :wow: @ that Niketalk game.
I imagine a brawl at a Retro Jordan release, lol. "You're accused of cutting in line...now FIGHT YOUR WAY OUT"
