Man, that looks like a lot of the classic Atari box art, but I have no fuckin clue what game.

Fortitudo · 2018-08-07T22:20:20.600Z

Noooo that was going to be my next box art. I even have the box right there.

BigWeather · 2018-08-08T03:39:22.224Z

That reminds me of Haunted House (house, spider, scared face), but I don’t think it is the right box. Was there an alternate?

Gordon_Cameron · 2018-08-08T04:19:35.610Z

I had the same thought, but that face definitely wasn’t on the box I remember.

Left_Empty · 2018-08-08T12:23:37.927Z

Congrats!

This is what was supposed to be the game cover. But stupid people happened.

From Steve Hendricks, in The Art of Atari:

The cover used was meant to be on the inside. The actual cover was way cooler and more scary, but the gal in charge of marketing came into my office after Mike Approved it, and said she’d pull it, because ‘can’t have eyes in that place.’

Way cooler indeed, I immediately loved it when I saw it. Marketing ruins everything (and you have to have a weird state of mind to think of the eyes in the way that person did).
