A promo image for the game The Wild At Heart, which I thought was fine. The image is of a strange woodland landscape with rounded stones, autumn leaves on cottonball trees, and low flowers, grasses, and other plants continuing the color theme of browns and oranges. One of the tall rounded rocks on the left has a arcane circular design on it. An arcade machine is sitting at an awkward angle on the ground on the right. The game appears to be called Dragon Ouoz! and a red dragon and a blue dragon appear on the side in a cartoony style. Around the game are three little humanoid characters with wide set round eyes, one appearing to be made of ice, another made of lava, and the third just autumnal yellow. The two main characters are on the left of the image, both young kids, one wearing a hoodie, jean jacket, baseball cap with a planet on it, and a backpack that looks strangely like a vacuum turned into a proton pack from Ghostbusters. The other character is shorter and wears a viewmaster as a hat and a nice fall sweater/dress. The title of the game appears in the middle in an indie movie thin moderately angular all caps sans serif font with an arrow as the crossbar of the T.

A promo image for the game Balatro, which I thought was pretty good. The image is of a blue and red wisp of flame or smoke travelling across the screen from left to right, hitting the "wall" of the image and curving back towards the middle. The bottom half of the image is blue and the top is red, same for the smoke/flame business. There are three pixelated and overlapping joker cards just tucking under the edge of the flame bit, the back one is green with a die on it, the middle one is a skull joker in black and white, and the foreground one is a regular colorful joker with the classic 3 tip jester hat and weird clown makeup and collar. In the middle of the image is the game title in a serif font that seems to have been randomly italicized and stretched vertically. The font is in white with blue and red marble effect and a heavy outline. The A is replaced by the Ace of Spades card, however.

A promo image for the game Stardew Valley, which I thought was fine. The image is in a 16-bit pixelated style and is of an idyllic farm in a mountainous countryside. The sky is blue but also stars are out and there are a few tall clouds in the distance over some layers of green mountains. In the foreground, a sturdy chicken coop/building has a cat sleeping on the roof and a little fenced side yard with hay and water. A male-presenting character is running to the left by the coop holding an ear of corn. On the other side of the coop is a mine car on some tracks and three planted crops (two rhubarb and something else I can't remember). Further left is a loose chicken and a female-presenting character riding a short horse. The scene is bookended by a selection of trees and bushes and a low fence runs along the near horizon. The title for the game is in the middle of the sky in an all caps font made out of planks of wood and a few leaves sprout from the corners of the first and last letters. Cute.

The box cover for the game Escape From The Mindmaster, which I thought was life-changing. The main image is of a green-skinned, male-presenting, floating head. The head is looking up at the viewer while being slightly tilted down giving it a menacing look. It has pointy ears and a sort of ice cream cone shape with a large cranium. Upon that cranium is a red walled maze filled with yellow light. The game title is at the top with "Mindmaster" in orange old timey monster film font with black accents and "Escape From The" in a blue sans serif all caps font laid over the top of "Mindmaster". At the bottom is a big logo that reads "A Supercharger Multi Load game for the Atari Video Computer System" in a blue circle. To the right of this it reads "Supercharger unit must be purchased separately. Cassette Player required." Below that, the Starpath Corporation logo appears with "(formerly Arcadia Corporation)" below it in a similar logo style. The background is blue and red smoke.

A promo image for the game Day Z, which I thought was bad. The main image is a Last of Us style rip off of a female presenting person holding a long gun and sitting on a chunk of concrete in a post apocalyptic cityscape. There's a dead zombie lying in the background and a shadowy figure approaching. It is a mostly cloudy sky and the leaves on the trees lining the street are just turning to autumn colors. The person in the foreground is wearing a plaid shirt, jeans, and reddish beanie with a wide white stripe and they are just looking at the ground in sadness or exhaustion maybe. The title of the game is in white, very bold and large sans serif font in the middle of the image, however it has been somewhat distressed and the bottom of it has had images cut out, like a road sign for the middle of the D and a person with a large backpack for the middle of the A. This image would make the graphics of the game seem very nice but in fact they are terrible for a modern game like this. I did not like it and I will hold a grudge.

A screenshot of the mobile game Chain Rxn, which I thought was fine. It is an old screenshot with some 20ish-year old design elements including a speaker with action lines in the bottom left corner, three buttons arranged horizontally from that which say "Friends' Scores", "High Scores", and "New Game", a little "i" in a circle in the top left for info, and a "Connect with Facebook" button in the top right with the lowercase f logo. The main part of the image is the game title in basic sans serif font and the Fast Forward button icon to the right of it. Just above that is a red multi-pointed star/circle with the word Free! in it. To the top left of the title is three overlapping translucent circles of different sizes. The smallest one is yellow, the middle one is magenta, and the biggest one is grey. This whole image is reflected over the horizontal center line and faded out to look like a reflection in water or something. Old school mobile design!

A promo image for the game The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which I thought was bad. It is a drawing of the chainsaw guy and two other dudes in a Star Wars movie poster style with the farm house at the bottom and the horizon line tilted at an angle for increased scariness. It is largely sepia toned with some hints of orange as some rear lighting effects. There's also a scary, scraggly tree off the shoulder of chainsaw guy and to the right of the right dude. The right dude is holding a pointed stick and shows signs of middle-agedness. The left dude is in sort of a metal singer pose holding some kind of bracelet maybe and sporting a mustachioed Anthony Kiedis with long hair look. Chainsaw guy has the unkempt hair and creepy human skin mask and, surprise, is holding a chainsaw pointed up and to the right. The title of the game is in white in the middle of the three dudes in an all caps sans serif font (with a space in chainsaw to make it chain saw) and below that a tagline of "A game based on true events" in a light serif font and the Gun games logo.

The arcade banner for the game Knights of the Round, which I thought was fine. It has a red background and the main image is a drawing of a knight guy, I assume Arthur, reaching for a sword stuck in a stone. Arthur has his long hair draped over a crown and a fun beard on his tiny looking face. Some chain mail and a red shirt peeks out of his suit of armor that actually looks a little too small and sort of bra-like. His hand is grasping for a golden hilted sword with a couple gems in it that is kind of glowing as it takes a nap in the rock. The Capcom logo appears right above the sword. To the left of that, the game title is in a calligraphy font that has been metalicized and outlined in white.

The box cover for the game Fireball, which I thought was fine. As you can imagine, the cover is just a giant fireball on a black background. There's a yellow orange sun-like ball in the middle with many lines extending out in every direction, becoming darker orange as they go. The game title is over the middle in a futuristic sans serif font with randomish gaps in each letter. It is a 3-d metallic style with a half-orange gradient at the bottom. The supercharger logo appears in the bottom right. White sans serif text reminds you that you have to buy the supercharger and have a cassette player. Below that, a sticker talking about how they used to be Arcadia Corporation until they got sued by Emerson Radio Corp and are now Starpath sits crookedly.

Promo image for the game Dustborn, which I thought was not great. Set in a desert scene with slightly cloudy blue skies, tall reddish rock formations and a cactus in the background, the main image is of an old Greyhound bus with a number of tough looking characters posing in front of it. The bus driver is a humanoid robot and from left to right there's a bearded person sitting with one leg crossed and a guitar by their side at the front, a person with vitiligo and wearing shorts and tall socks just under the driver window, followed by a very pale skin reading a book in their tanktop an jeans with a keytar by their side, on top of the bus to the right of them a person is yelling and pointing backwards at the two helicopters approaching, and back down on the ground on the far right of the image is a person sitting on a futuristic motorcycle with a spiky-shouldered deep V vest of some kind on. The person in the foreground has medium dark skin and is crouching holding a baseball bat while wearing a headband, some headphones around their neck, a strange half-fingerless pink glove and some nondescript brownish pants and a white t-shirt with a design on it. In the very foreground a flyer is just settling to the ground that reads "There's no justice in crime". The game title is at the top in sort of a bus-shaped polygon and is a yellow sans serif font that is slightly italic and embossed. A flying spherical robot with a happy digital face is just to the bottom left of the game title. I really did wish this one was better.

The box for the game Number Munchers, which I thought was fine. It is a red box with Age 8 to Adult in the top left corner in a green rectangle, the MECC logo in the bottom right corner in the same color rectangle, and "Apple II Series with at least 64K. Includes 3.5" and 5.25" disks." in a gold rectangle in the bottom left corner. The game title is near the top in probably Times New Roman all plain and boring. Below that is the main image, a drawing of three round-ish cartoon monsters scaling a mountain while a rectangular backwards "C" shaped character stands at the top in hiking boots holding a small flag with an M on it and looking proud. Giant yellow even numbers in a bubble font hover in the background.

The box cover for the game Altered Beast, which I thought was fine. It is a classic Sega Genesis cover with the polygonal logo for that console at the top, and the black graph paper background at the bottom. In the graph paper part is the title of the game in white brush stroke font with blue 3-d effect and below that it reads "16-Bit Cartridge for use with the Sega Genesis Video Entertainment System" in a kind of wide sans serif all caps font with the 16-bit cartridge part larger and wider than the second line. The main image is that of a extremely buff werewolf looking angry but sideways and brandishing a fist at the viewer. Below the buff woof is what appears to be a pile of grey bodies that it has defeated? In the background more beasts appear including a fish coming right for us and a bat/man creature punching upwards towards the sky. Truly a fine piece of art.

A promo image for the game Streets of Rage 4, which I thought was fine. The image is split vertically into thirds, with the two outside thirds being high-rise buildings at night with a heavy yellow tint. The middle third has a black background and a number of anime style drawings of people who like to punch and kick a lot. At the bottom is a male-presenting person with dark skin wearing a yellow shirt, sunglasses, suspenders, and 1980's fingerless gloves. To their right is the female-presenting "sexy one" wearing a strapless top and a jacket but also a snake? Just above those two are two shirtless dudes, one of which is yelling quite a bit and the other is doing kung fu finger guns. The title of the game sits atop all four of these characters and the Streets part is in red vaguely "asian" font with slightly jagged edges above a blue 3-d rectangluar prism with "of rage" in all caps sans serif font and, below that, the number 4 in a red to yellow gradient and strong Asian calligraphy style. Above the title are seven more fighters, if you can believe it. A little red head one maybe shooting lightning our of their hands, a brooding blond dude looking over his shoulder at us, another lady one wearing a swimsuit top and looking sideways, another dude with dark skin, no shirt on, and the largest hands of the group, a tough army femme in a defensive stance, a smirking spiky-haired person looking sideways, and at the top if it all, another blond with somewhat unkempt hair looking slightly down but straight at us, only their dead being visible.

A promo image for the game Weird West, which I thought was not great. The background a scene from the American Southwest, with a dry scrub landscape and a few mesas jutting up from it. An overlay of some flames masks the top part in yellow and the background is seen through an orange tint. In the foreground, a person wearing a tall hat (more leprechaun than western, honestly), long coat, multi pocketed vest, and some leather straps and bandolier points a long pistol to the viewer's left. They're very shadowy and have a grim expression. Above them, the game title is in a chaotic all caps sans serif font with a eagle spreading its wings, as if to prepare to fly, in the middle of the two words. The eagle grips an oblique white line and below that the words "Definitive Edition" are in a yellow all caps serif font in black rectangles.

A promo image for the game Steelrising, which I thought was not great. The background is a gritty Parisian street in the 1800's or earlier with a wagon of some kind on the right, an ornate window in the far background, and dark buildings with many textural features shadowing the street. A glow comes from the end of the street behind the main character of the image. That character is a humanoid robot facing away from the viewer. They have an old-timey, curls-on-the-side, grey hairstyle and clear robot features like a jointed arm, and robot legs. Their outfit is a pieced together mishmash of a high-collared vest that's maybe on backwards as it shows a lot of robot back but it does have one arm with a sleeve, some kind of tailed waist thing, and maybe one boot. They hold two lacy and spiky fans at waist level creating the image of a wide dress. The title of the game hovers over these fans in a sort of roughly forged steel serif all caps font with the S and G larger than the other letters.
