That’s obviously the same artist who did Dark Tower (Bob Pepper), but since Dark Tower isn’t a videogame, I don’t know what it is (unless you decided to include it for fun). But on a second look it does appear indeed to be Dark Tower.
It is, in fact, DarkTower! And I did include it to change things up a bit. I’d done the boardgame version of Pac-Man before and back when I did it I had checked and couldn’t find that the box had to be a video game (could have missed it of course). Anyway, sorry this drug out so long.
The thread title is just ‘game box art challenge’ so I guess you’re right, it can be any sort of game!
Oh, forgot to put the complete box up.
Born of Electronic Wizardry? What does that mean? This was a board game based on a computer game?
It was a board game, but used a computer in the tower to handle inventory/battles/etc. It had a push button interface and rotating cylinder with small pics of things that would light up when activated by a move or battle result. You could even figure out how things were going for an opponent if you listened to the sounds that went off during their turn.
found a good pic of the setup.
Yeah it was a hybrid. Big nostalgia trigger for some of us '80s kids. Also had a commercial with Orson Welles!
There’s a sequel that came out recently.
Title isn’t lying, that’s for sure.

@Gordon_Cameron , are you protesting the fact that it wasn’t a video game? :)
Sorry, I’ll try to rustle something up soon.
I assume Malkael’s right, but I’ll guess Gothic II just in case.
