![]() This box art just screams ridiculous but believe it or not, that’s exactly what this game is. You can also spot a flying vulture, and if you look really closely, you can see what appears to be a small fox with a rocket coming out of his rear end located directly behind the camels head! The box art however makes you believe it is part of the polar bear). You can see a purple smiling hyena with wheels, a yellow dog with wheels, a turtle shell with treads like that of a tank, and an oval shaped polar bear with a canon on its back ( Fun Fact: if you’ve played the game, you know this isn’t part of this animal, but rather the camel that’s also on the front cover directly behind the bear. They are not your typical animals even though we can pretty much surmise what type of animals are on the cover. Taking a look at the overall color, we see lots of red, orange, and purple being used but perhaps the most interesting aspect of the entire box is the look of the animals. I also love the catch phrase on the side that reads, “In the year 3,000 there are no petting zoos.” This shouts futuristic and sounds like a phrase you would read on the cover of a movie poster. The first part of the title is covered in a color that resembles grass with the remaining two words in orange/red with a purple outline surrounding the letters. The first thing that should immediately catch your attention when looking at this cover art, is the colorful large font size of the title Space Station Silicon Valley. Having said all of that, I would like to present you with my “Top 10 Favorite N64 Video Game Box Art!” #10. This list is not to be biased by any means, even though most of these games are incredible and are considered some of the greatest N64 games of all time. Most of these games I have either played and/or own. All I want to focus on is the box art itself, and whether or not someone like myself, would want to either rent or purchase a copy of the game. The N64 games were no different.įor the record, I will not be discussing this list of ten games in detail or whether they are good or bad. The cover of the VHS or DVD was what really made you want to pick up and rent that particular video. The box art felt similar to renting a video at your local Blockbuster video store. ![]() This unique tool allowed the console to sell thousands and sometimes millions of copies around the world. The clever box art made people like me, want to purchase the game to find out what was truly inside. The box art has been a marketing tool for the entire generation of the N64 console. Surprisingly enough, what actually brought me to purchasing the N64 wasn’t just the word of mouth on how great the system was, but rather the marketing that was used for the system, specifically the box art. This system has arguably the greatest games of all time. However, it’s the Nintendo 64 system that really introduced me to the gaming world. No matter how difficult the game was, I always found myself getting past a certain point that may have taken me hours upon completion. These games were tough but one thing I never EVER did, was give up. Games such as the original Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!!, as well as many others, challenged me to the point of nearly breaking my controller. The first video game system that I ever played was the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Video games have been a BIG part of my childhood experience growing up.
