Just like the old movie poster thread I did a while back, but this time with video game boxes, cartridges or flyers! Atari 2600, Intellivision, Playstation, PS3, PS4, XBOX, XBOX 360, arcade, whatever. For those of you who like to dabble in this sort of thing (like me!), have fun with it! It might help, if it's a bit of an obscure title, to tell what you changed it from. Or hell, if you think you have a really good idea, you can make something totally new.
Just a warning, though-- Photobucket sucks and charges you to upload your pics to them. I go with Deviantart.
Here's one (of many) I did:
An old war-strategy game for the Sega Genesis called GENERAL CHAOS gets a bit of a South Park treatment from me.

Have fun!
Here's another-- I changed the Atari 2600 box of ASTEROIDS into this:

That's not really what Deviantart is for. Plus if somebody reports your images for using other people's work, they will take them down.
I'd suggest Imgur.

I seriously doubt DA will have an issue with it. I spent time using MS Paint to make my own portrait of a game from long ago from a company that is no longer making games to the best of my knowledge. Atari doesn't seem to whine about copyright like Namco or a ton of other game companies. I have original art of my drawings on DA too, and my game alterations should be construed as artwork as well. Just my 2 cents on the issue.

Sorry, Don's hat is a bit big (or his head is too small) but it's otherwise kind of funny:

I really don't care that much one way or another with the whole "stand up/sit down" salute thing.. I'd rather people stood, but I won't get into a heated argument over it. Still, this was funny IMHO. This is from the Activision Atari 2600 game KEYSTONE KAPERS.

Not picking on Vikings fans (I rather like the Vikes); this is from The Lost Vikings and was just having fun with it.

I <3 you.
I just see some millennial wondering when videogames came in boxes...
(Tbf the last dozen games I got were downloads.)
