Anything early by Psygnosis, please--particularly the 'Shadow of the Beast' covers. Absolutely iconic boxes in the days of the Amiga and Atari ST. Could I make a request?

I know there's better out there, but I'm tired. Great site idea and I look forwards to whatever else you've got up your sleeve. I always liked the Dark Chronicle artwork.

Not only is Akira Toriyama's artwork is bold and exciting, but the same art style carried over into the game itself (unlike most games at the time.) Furthermore, it also effectively shows off the game's tech system by displaying two characters attacking in tandem.

It'd be great to keep the mix of amusing (The Great Ghiana Sisters) and the serious (Final Fantasy 3), too. As a little sidenote: I've created a 'Box Art' widget for Netvibes, which shows the latest 10 thumbnails from the RSS feed on your Netvibes dashboard.

Also Roger Dean's prog rock style Psygnosis covers and Simon Bisley's Gods cover are ones that stick in my memory. I love the Ico cover art.

On the newer side of box art i think the UK box art for Persona 3 FES was beautiful. I think the Secret of Mana box art would be a great one to use.
