Do you have a favorite Box art?

Hello I was wondering if anyone appreciates the box art or box style of any specific game or games from a specific system.
My favorite style for a system is the sega genesis black case design and the old school capcom games on the nes.
Some of my favorite covers are Echo Night Beyond on ps2 and Wacky Races on nes along with Magic Night Rayearth on saturn.
And many more I try to face as many outward as space will allow in my collection.What are some of your favorite covers or design styles if any? And if so do you display them differently the others?

As far as the box art template, I'd say the N64. I also like the Jaguar, 32X, and Saturn templates. OG Xbox as well.

Favorite cover art? There's so many good ones I couldn't think of them all off the top of my head. Body Harvest, Top Gear Overdrive, Banjo Kazooie, Killer Instinct Gold, Dark Rift, XG2.

As far as other consoles... Nights Into Dreams, Croc, Ghen War, Machine Head, Shadow Master, Sentinel Returns, Jumping Flash, Kinsley's Adventure, Jet Grind Radio, Rippin Riders, Super Bomberman 2, Hyperzone, Sonic 1, Alisia Dragoon, Kolibri, CastleQuest, 8 Eyes, Snake Rattle & Roll, Cobra Triangle. I think I could go on and on, with cover arts that I like. A lot of times it's not necessarily the obvious titles that have the best art, it's just random ones. NES had so much great box artwork, with all the hand drawn stuff.

Maybe one day I'll take the time to actually make a top 10 or 20 list of favorite cover arts.

I love 3DO box art- so large and expressive. Just really nothing like it- Virtuoso, Drug Wars, Space Pirates- the campier the better. In terms of the most artistic- I think NES/TG 16 usually had the best art. 

Kinda went downhill after gen 5/6

My personal favourites in no particular order

I liked what Sega did when they rebranded their 16bit era systems and released the model 2. Red stripes for the Genesis, purple stripes for Game Gear, blue stripes for Sega CD. The yellow stripes for 32X looked god awful but I guess they wanted it to stand out. Maybe they meant for it to be orange initially but then didn't want anyone thinking they were copying the Ninja Turtles. lol



My favorite box arts are from the Uncharted series; specifically the first and second.
