I enjoyed this, Rubacava! Thank you for putting it all together for us!
My dream job would be driving a Zamboni over ice.
Yes, this was fun! Thanks for doing this, Rubacava! Surely a lot of work with all those nice graphics you’ve provided along the way!
Now, personally I’ve always been a LucasArts guy first and foremost. If you do a poll with LucasArts covers I will probably have *much* stronger opinions. But I’ll try to refrain from writing an essay about each.
By the way I think 16 Lucas covers is enough, and a better option than mixing it up with a «Lucas + everything else» concept. Maybe one for Lucas and another for everything else?

This was a brilliant contest, Rubacava! And Beast Within is a very worthy winner (although personally I love the first couple of Larry boxes the best - they just scream "Adventure FUN!" to me but I appreciate that the subject matter is very dated).
What about the Infocom covers?

Thanks for your messages everyone. Giving it some more thought I think a pure LucasArts tornament would be best, and then an "everything else" tournament. As for the Lucasarts one I believe we have 2 options:
* 16 participants, all adventure point and clicks (i think lucasarts has around 15 p'n'clicks and we could have a special guest like Thimbleweed Park)
* 32 participants and we include x-wing series etc.

Well, many of the Star Wars covers (as much as I love Star Wars and especially 90s Star Wars games) are not exactly on the same level of imagination as the adventure covers, and since probably 50% of the titles are Star Wars titles, maybe it would be more exciting to concentrate on the adventure titles in this case?
But I’m not sure - would be fun to include them all as well, even though this is an adventure game forum - what do the rest of you think?

I think box art tournaments are fun. I'd rather have an adventure game only one, and then would not object to a non adventure game one, too. Even though this is an adventure game forum, one needn't actually play these games to vote for their favorites, so hopefully no adventure game players will be too offended.
After running enough of these, we could have a 16 or 32 box bracket with the top 4 from each contest...so long as there's always someone generous enough to manage the contests.

There are 16 LucasArts adventure games if you include the "forgotten" one - Mortimer and the Riddles of the Medallion (1996). I think it's overlooked because it was a kid's adventure.

Thx, this solves it. Tournament incoming!
