I've made a lot of fun of video game companies that appear to spend very little time working on their box art. Heck, just in this episode alone I have complained about the way Pac-Man looks and how stupid those Bombermen are. But when it comes to companies spending no money or time on their box art there is only one game that can be the absolute worst ... and that game is Frantic. Frantic is the epitome of lazy, it's as if they asked a classroom full of third graders to draw the ugliest thing they could think of and then chose the worst of the submissions. This wouldn't even work as an early morning cartoon, let alone a cover for a full length video game.

Without even playing this game there are a few things you can take from this cover art. For one thing, your main character appears to be a waiter. And while the name is frantic (which goes a long way to explain the life of a waiter) this guy doesn't appear to be in a hurry. He has a big smile on his face and he's taking Monty Python-style steps. And let's not forget that he's not even looking where he's going! From what I can see this guy doesn't seem to be too worried about getting the food to the table in a timely fashion ... or even that there's an angry dog behind him that looks like he wants whatever is under that tray. Oh, and did I mention that the spider seems to be the same size as the dog? And is that a web he's hanging from or a giant rope? But as stupid as all of this is, I can't help but come back to the fact that this artwork appears to be done by somebody who had never drawn before and was in a hurry. If you were to release this box art today I suspect that no store would even stock it, it's about as amateurish as you can possibly get. The only thing remotely good about this artwork is that logo, and even that is kind of confusing.
