This is a really close race!

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the wonderful BORDERS of these classic LucasArts boxes? All the way from Maniac Mansion to Sam & Max, the boxes really looked like they belonged together in a series, because of the borders and the way they continued around the sides of the boxes. They looked fantastic on a shelf together.

Favourite borders:
DOTT (weird purple shapes on a green background!)
Sam & Max (it’s a roadmap!)
Monkey Island 2 (like an ancient piece of paper that smells good!)

Ooh wish I had not waited this late, there's pressure at this point. I will vote The Secret of Monkey Island. The colors are more pleasing, but it's really two great covers.

Vote for the cover guys!

Sam & Max. It just seems to represent the game better.

Monkey Island always struck me as a bit too... I guess adventure book cover targeted towards kids? I don't think it captures the games humor. I never would've guessed it had so much comedy based on the cover.

IMO, that’s the beautiful part, but I’ve probably overstated that already. Smile

I think were tied at 11, next vote tips it

I'll vote for Sam & Max.

MI has a much better palette, Sam & Max the better image cohesivehess and sense of game-appropriate whimsy. But what tips the scales is that Guybrush looks he's barely hit puberty.

Sam n Max wins 12-11! And its our first finalist... Will it face lechuck or purple tentacle in the finals?
