KQ4. Objectively flawed but I get feels when I look at it.

KQ4, the texture of Larry’s pecs is legit sending chills down my spine

KQ4. The Larry one made me roll my eyes

That’s exactly my standing as well! LSL3 is «cringe» to say the least, and the bobbleheads don’t help either. But yeah, that magazine cover layout and the especially the colours has got *something* going for it, if I just ignore the rest. The KQ4 cover is just… sort of meh. My vote goes to LSL3 too!

Wow, they are both terrible! Really ugly artwork for both of them. If I have to choose then I'd probably go for LSL3, because that at least uses the space available well.

lol! I'd say that's harsh, but I don't know.. I probably I agree with all of you!
King's Quest 4. Shoutout to Rosella.

I’m voting for King’s Quest IV. The castle and mountainscape drenched in a golden sunset is a sublime backdrop to the action happening in the foreground. The shadow of Rosella against the unicorn’s body is fairly good too.
Larry’s cheekbones look completely abnormal even for a caricature, plus just look at the claw-like hand of the woman he’s trying to woo! This Frankenstein-esque imagery may suit a Mad Magazine cover, but certainly not a comedic dating adventure trying to actually convince you to buy the darn thing. I also dislike the flatness of the overall picture.
For anyone who hasn’t voted so far, here is the direct image link so you can have the ability to zoom in for more details of both covers:

Definitely much easier than squinting at the scaled-down resolution that the forum software automatically imposes.
This is fun as always, Rubacava, thanks for creating the tournament.

I've gotta go KQ4. I love the action of the scene.
RE: The Sierra Box Art Grand Tournament – Vote for the Greatest Cover! - Rubacava - 10-04-2025
Larry 3 for me.

Rubacava, your new pic still has the titles from the last round.

Easily LSL3 for me. Love the juxtaposition of the dweeby loser that Larry really is with the buff, macho jock he's pretending to be here. (At least, I assume that was the intention.) It looks like a fun, silly (and probably pretty lowbrow) comedy game. Same criticism of the KQ box as the last one. Nice art, but.... where's King's Quest?
