There was a certain charm to video game box art from the 1970s and 1980s. The graphics were so terrible that often quite abstract, quite amazing art had to be used to sell a game in its stead.
These days everything is "better". Read: more airbrushed, photoshopped, boardroom-approved. Wouldn't it be great if instead of carbon-copy army men we had box art more like the good old days?
Games Radar took that idea and ran with it, coming up with a series of covers where today's games are given yesteryear's box art treatment. Usually literally, as in they're given the art from a real, retro game.
