The Worst Of Nintendo 64 Box Art

If you didn't know, today marks the fifteenth anniversary of the N64's release in 1996. That was a long time ago. It also appears that many of the art makers were design school dropouts. And sometimes, deranged. [Eds. note: The fact that these games look bad does not mean they are.]

Nothing would ever look that curious and bemused if it were being smashed into giant structures using its head. Also, "reckin' " is inexcusable.

Uh... your nipple is looking a little... irregular.

Having to look at this garbage is exactly where the term "no mercy" comes from.

There's nothing here that looks like it should appear.

No petting zoos, but instead, bulbous animals floating around haphazardly in space.

Are we to understand that you're throwing bowling balls down a monster's gigantic tongue?

Dumb.

This just looks awful.

Although the box looks pretty horrible, this mostly made the list because the premise of the game just being built around a robot that has wheels is just stupid.

What the actual fuck?

Reminds me too much of The Human Centipede 2 poster.

This guy just rubs me the wrong way.

The background is horrifying, but I do applaud the player for looking like he doesn't give any kind of a fuck.

"Problem?"
