Yeah, but at the time, I think everyone knew that the game was going to look like that. It was imagination: yes, it looked like that on the screen, but in our imaginations, it looked like the box. These damn kids today with their damn hippity-hop music and their damn XBox 360's are spoiled. Our games looked like shit, but we liked it!

Now get off my lawn!

I would so fall for the box art...I don't know why but just looking at pics of box art just makes me very happy..I guess happier times...when just a small video game made me happy..

I had an Intellivision and I laughed at the Atari kids. Laughed, I say.
