I’ve come across quite a few bad game covers over the years. Some of them gives me a laugh even today. 🙂 Here’s a list of some of the worst game covers ever created. Hope you enjoy them!
10. Bust-A-Move 2 – Arcade Edition
What are they trying to communicate to the gamer with this cover? Is the game so boring that you must resort to using matches to keep your eyes open while playing?
9. Wonder Boy in Monster Land
He sure can smile, the insane guy!
8. Phalanx
Ok. We've got an old bearded geezer with a banjo and a spaceship flying in the background. Excellence, pure excellence!
7. Black Belt
What an exciting cover for a karate game! Look at that awesome foot. No doubt that this game kicks some serious butt!
6. Street Sports Baseball
Do I need to comment on this one? 🙂
5. One-on-One Basketball
Ready to rock!
4. Mega Man
Cool game. Un-cool cover. A shame.
3. Blood and Guts
It's just getting worse and worse.. Why is that guy standing on a cat's tail by the way? Many funny details to explore!
2. Ninja Scooter Simulator
Look at that scooter! It's brutal, it's awesome, it's full of lethal spikes!
1. Metro Cross
Oh my God! How is it possible to create such a lame game cover? This guy is as un-cool as you can get.. Did this game sell any copies at all?
That was ten truly horrible game covers. Know of some bad ones I haven’t covered here? Please leave a comment below. Would love to hear from you. 🙂

These covers are really weird. However, Wonderboy in Monsterland is a very cool game, one of my favorites! : ]
