Does "every c64 game" count?

Why do you consider "every c64 game" as crap?

Every game, ok a bit harsh… just a traumatic childhood of boxes looking so much cooler then the game played. But I’m going of topic, the point was goodbox crap game, not boxhype.
I'm tempted to say "Does every psygnosis game count?" But I'll just stick to Terrorpods

Action Fighter, my dad bought me the budget version, with the box little bigger than a cd case; in respect to the box cover showed at HOL had not the surrounding red and blue theatrical stuff, just the futuristic car and the road.
anyway, both the game and the cover were cool, per se, just they seemed 2 different things, that great cover would have figured well on another game, like maybe a Black Viper game with cars instead of bikes!

On the same day my brother got Axis & Allies (wich is not on HOL! how so?) wich cover had make him dream of battles in the sand, driving tanks, silly him, while the game itself was uncomprehensible for us and still i don't understand it today. luckily it required the disk to be inserted before to switch on the amiga, and being us italian, we read the instructions AFTER having messed with stuff, so the disk was also unreadable in some hours from having got it from the shelves...

UMS was probably the only amiga game that had a "honest" cover, no graphics or color at all, just like the game itself, I guess no one was disapointed if they purchased it, just the words UMS on it..
