What Modern Video Game Boxes Would Look Like 30 Years Ago?

The gaming industry evolves so fast that I decided to stop buying games because you need to upgrade your computer every six months and it sucks. The only thing that keeps my interest is their design starting from the game itself and all the way to their boxes and promotional materials. Matt Cundy from gamesradar.com decided to put his imagination and Photoshop skills to the test. What he did (maybe from pure boredom) was to combine new video game art boxes to some which are very old. The result is hilarious as you can see below. Check out his original post to see more examples and some funny comments.
