Game box art challenge?

Just to be clear, I completely made that guess up. It doesn’t even exist on mobygames, I had to look on random other websites to confirm this is a real game.

Anyway, this next game is definitely real:

box_art_game_nov_2021_frame1

It’s also not a game released before I was born :)

That Archer MacLean puzzle game I can’t remember the name of.

Shadow Man?

None of those games!

box_art_game_nov_2021_frame2

frame_game_nov_2021_2_frame2

This is 100% from a “box”.

It’s the super rare gba version of Aargon Deluxe!

Close, but it’s more modern than that!

I Expect You To Die 2?

Deflektor VR

I was thinking I Expect You To Die as well, but I don’t remember those hands.

Hurrah!

Did you get 2 from the scene, or from the slither of yellow “2” that is visible?

ps this is totally a box.

Ingame, if they’re rendered at all, then they’re slinky hands in black gloves. Given that this is the “box art” it’s no different than the 80s having lovingly drawn High Fantasy artworks on the cover only to find it’s a pixel monstrosity when playing.

But they’ve got the same Mickey Mouse stripes

The table looked very reminiscent of the desk at the start of the first one, and I didn’t recognise the scene, so guessed! The first one was very enjoyable, I’m looking forward to trying this when I get set back up with VR.

Will try to get a new one up tonight.

OK, another widescreen box:

1

Half Life 1 ?

Nope, next:

2

Dungeon warfare?

'Fraid not. Some bonus info:

  • This might not be the box you’re most familiar with for this game
  • I do actually own this, so I don’t think it’s super rare (hopefully!)

What the heck? How is that a game box? All the actual information is in the center?

I’m now concerned this particular version is more obscure than I thought, but I can tell you: it is a videogame; if you’re reading this forum you will have heard of it, guaranteed; the box is actually made of wood, metal, leather (? or something leather-like).
