I have noticed a few bad mistakes on the box art of the earlier sms games. heres a couple... World Grand Prix - the flag on the front... if you notice the squares are falling off... i can understand the logic behind this, they want you to think that a car has gone past so fast that its ripped the black squares off the flag. hmm the idea is OK... but if you look carefully, youll notice that there is 6 vacant spaces on the flag where black squares are missing. But WHY OH WHY?  is there 7 black squares falling away from it? Ahhh! Great Golf - Firstly.. why is the little bit of turf flying in that direction? it is just wrong. Secondly.... the little bits of 'earth' falling away from the flying lawn piece are GREEN! why? Oh why? ?? was it really too much effort for the designer to put some brown on there Anyone else notice anymore? |

I would say Motorbike mirror.... who would stare at an open road with a magnifying glass? Also... i havent got that far on action fighter but does a magnifying glass appear? it would seem irellavent.
what do others think?

But WHY OH WHY? is there 7 black squares falling away from it? Ahhh! The usual mistakes. I think you can find one on every Box. For example Alex Kidd in Miracle World and Alex has blonde hair instead of brown and why has the Ninja on the Shinobi Box a mask, while in the game he hasn't one? Ever noticed the horizontal stones on the box of Colums? You can't make that in the game.. And why does the poor dude on secret command doesn't have a mouth? was the one black line to expensive for the designers? ;D As for Action Fighter, i bet it is a magnifying glass ;D |

Shinobi only removes his mask to those believers who purchase and play the game. Unbelievers are treated to merely a guise, for they are unworthy.

This old thread is worthy of more posts... - just what is going on with the cover of Pro Wrestling?? (and why is the German version diffrent?) - Why has the guy on great basket ball only got 2 fingers and a thumb? is he a ninja turtle? - Why has the Kung Fu Kid left one of his socks on? - Why has the little black pipe smoking elf on Sítio do Picapau Amarelo only got 1 leg?? - what exactly is the old beardy guy asking Ariel to do?! dirty basterd! Action Fighter - i reckon its a moterbike mirror, but it looks like a magnifying glass. |

I always thought it was a magnifying glass in Action Fighter, but your idea makes a great lot more sense.

Weird, I never really thought about it, but I guess I thought it was a magnifying glass. Mirror makes sense though.

- Why has the little black pipe smoking elf on Sítio do Picapau Amarelo only got 1 leg?? Because he has only one leg.  He's Saci, a brazilian folklore character. He has lost his leg on a capoeira fight -- a bit too dramatic, but yeah.  |

Ha ha, I just thought it was a crap picture, oh well, serves me right for not playing it properly. i bet next your going to tell me Ariel actually does perform for Grandad in the Brazilian version of the cartoon. |

- just what is going on with the cover of Pro Wrestling?? (and why is the German version diffrent?) I think it's one of the funniest covers, the guy beheaded himself, so he can hold his head in a Side Headlock. I really would like to know, how the designers came up with that. As for the German version, i guess Ariolasoft either didn't get the original cover to use or thought they have to draw it in a more comical way to avoid controvery. In later years when Sega took over the publishing of their releases in Germany, they used the standard cover. That does really look a whole lot better. Nice. |
