Way back in the heady days of 1987 video game budgets were a lot tighter and so often the box art for the games left a lot to be desired, take the original Mega Man for example or Lee Trevino’s Fighting Golf (what a name!), both examples of the high standards back in the day. With this in mind Gamespy decided to give the Halo 3 artwork a 1987 makeover with the results you see above. 

Pretty craptaculor really, imagine if the game had released with that cover, or better yet that it reflected the in-game graphics.  Master Chief would be like an armour clad Quasimodo with elephant legs and the Warthogs would struggle to go anywhere in a straight line thanks to their far from round or level wheels…  Although that could actually be quite amusing.
