Boxart that bears little/no relation to its game - Page 2

Not sure I agree with Speedball 2. It’s definitely a stretch, but it does represent the game IMO.

Xenon 2 - Yeah, I do like it, but doesn’t have much if anything to do with the game. Strange one, definitely.

But have you seen Xenon 2 Kixx budget release box? That has awesome and related picture.

It's in Polish, so use on-line translator.

Yes I have and I like it. Definitely more representative of the game, although I don't dislike the original.
