1. Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast - PC Games

It's so simple and yet so awesome. I even got a shirt with that lightsaber on it for pre-ordering the game.

2. Timon & Pumba's Jungle Games - PC Games

I bought this as a kid based solely on the box art... fortunately for me the 5 mini-games weren't half bad either.

3. Heavenly Sword - PlayStation 3

Hot chick with a big sword, I'm surprised more game companies aren't putting this on game covers.

Damn it feels good to be a Stormtrooper...

5. Final Fantasy IX - PlayStation

Probably the only FF one I'll put up here just because it doesn't include all the characters from the game, but it does have the 4 for my favorite party: Zidane, Steiner, Vivi and Garnet.

6. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - Super famicom and SNES

Simple yet awesome. I still don't know how they are calling these games after the princess you keep having to rescue and not the hero of it all. I still chuckle when someone thinks Zelda is Link's name.

7. Mega Man X - Super famicom and SNES

I know it's all about depth perception but there's just something awesome about Megaman jumping at a giant robotic octopus; plus Megaman X just looks cooler than the original anyway.

8. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade ... - Famicom and NES

Oh I'm sorry? Did I blow through the brick wall of your mind with ninja turtle awesomeness?!? Oh and we're on skateboards! Oh and you get a free pizza with this game!

9. Contra - Famicom and NES

Contra is a pretty cool game, but the box art is cooler; always wondered where that disgusting alien was in the game but I guess 8-bit graphics can only detail so much.

10. Darkwing Duck - Famicom and NES

It's Darkwing freakin' Duck what else can I say? He was kind of the last cartoon hero I wanted to be when I grew up before I actually did grow up.

11. Little Nemo: The Dream Master - Famicom and NES

This box cover is a product of smoking and eating mushrooms. Still, it's pretty cool.

12. Bionic Commando - Famicom and NES

Dude that guy is totally nuts!?! Swinging into a battlefield with some robotic cable attachment on his arm?!? I want one.

13. Castlevania - Famicom and NES

Not my favorite Castlevania game but definitely my favorite box art. You got the hero, a detailed castle, and a really cool Dracula face.

The Castlevania series has consistently had great art direction, barring the brief anime stint

And even that era wasn't horrible aesthetically by any means. Now the North American NES Mega Man covers - that's ugliness defined.
