Vote!

The Space Quest IV cover is interesting but I love the Quest for Glory one so that's my preference: Quest for Glory 1

I actually kinda like both of these.

Looking at it from afar, I first thought the knight is poking the dragon into the leg, then I realized that the dragon is already holding a piece of the broken sword.
An entertaining composition, which makes me curious about the game. The cover looks a bit like a book cover, while the Roger Wilco cover reminds me a bit of the print on a detergent bottle, and especially with the text on red looking like an advert for some cheap product.

But I have to vote for the more cartoony one this time (Space Quest IV), since Roger Wilco has this funny plunger.


Again two games I haven't played yet ...

Quest for Glory 1

Easily QFG1, although, if I remember correctly, it lost to another favourite of mine that didn’t make it.
That’s usually how things go for me in this type of thing, actually. My favourites have probably already lost.

Im voting Space Quest 4. Sets the mood for the game immediately, good composition and grabs the attention from far away.

QFG1 is very good too but it takes the plunger to the face in this matchup.

I don't think either of these are great. And though I really love the idea of QfG's art, I'm gonna have to go with SQ4 for this one.

I'm voting for Quest for Glory 1. The sophistication of a tapestry and a stained glass window melded together with humour. Enough said.

Now seems like a good time for a box art Easter egg! This lone feature almost swayed me to choose Space Quest 4, but ultimately fell short. Try squinting at what it says on the bottom of Roger's boot... can't make it out either? No problem, it actually says "Made in Xenon" as a fun reference to one of the game's planets.

Wow, that's a great detail. That and plunger-face make me go for Space Quest IV!

Even though the QFG cover is more aesthetically pleasing, who doesn’t have someone in their life who NEEDS their face plunged? SQ4 for me. It’s just so viscerally satisfying.
