evulopah: Not everyone. My favorite game's Maze of Galious, but that cover is hideous!

You are right Mirg... I shouldn't use the word everybody... instead let's say some people...

I always liked very much the cover of Aleste:

Ok, the cover of MoG is cheesy, but then again it definitely sets a mood for adventure. I love these games, but I also think they are excellent covers (I'm a sucker for this dramatic painting style and Konami just happens to rule this area too. I know of nice KOEI covers, but couldn't find decent scans) So I nominate these:

Maze of Galious www.funet.fi/pub/msx/photos/gamecovers/The_Maze_of_Galious_-Konami-_front.jpg
Yie Ar Kung-Fu 2 www.funet.fi/pub/msx/photos/gamecovers/Yie_Ar_Kung-Fu_2_-Konami-.jpg
Salamander www.funet.fi/pub/msx/photos/gamecovers/Salamander_-Konami-_front.jpg
Vampire Killer www.funet.fi/pub/msx/photos/gamecovers/Vampire_Killer_-Konami-_front.jpg
Gradius 2 www.funet.fi/pub/msx/photos/gamecovers/Gradius_2_-Konami-_front.jpg
King Kong 2 www.funet.fi/pub/msx/photos/gamecovers/King_Kong_2_-Konami-_front.jpg

And of course Seigimachu II Special Attack Devil

Okay, obviously you missed the 'please try not to spam us too much part', but seriously, these are some of the ugliest covers I've ever seen! (But yes, of course I did add them too the list. The Kiss cover didn't clean up too well tho... )
