Except in the case of the Sega Master System, where the simplistic 8-bit graphics felt like a massive leap up from the terrible box art!
probably the nostalgia talking, but it was satisfying having all your games look the same on the shelf
The common style is iconic, but that plain grid on a white background is a pretty boring style.
That said it did evoke a little imagination, especially with the manuals.
Ugh, yeah those identical cartridges. The cases they came in had some ok art sometimes, but it was always in the middle of that ugly grid.
