Remember video game shops? High street stores that used to sell physical video games before the internet changed the rules?
Part of their jaded charm lay in reselling pre-owned titles, presenting gamers with a real-life quest to search through battered boxes for £3.50 bargain.
Groups like GameStop would (and still do, if you can find them) allow trade-in of games that lacked a box, resulting in some bored-out-of-their-minds shop attendants to employing their own artistry to come up with a new cover.
FullRedneck has trawled the depths of Reddit and gaming forums to compile some of the greatest efforts gamers have ever stumbled upon.
We'd pay £5 for the artwork alone.
