'Flamel Attacks!' and More Atari Game Box Parodies [PICS]

Atari game box art was always sort of dramatically disproportionate to the games themselves. Action-packed illustrations of astronauts in space or a dead-locked tennis game on the cover never really matched up with the 8-bit games and their bleeping soundtracks and pixelated graphics.

So what if the box covers were actually accurate for a change? That thought struck the crew at MightyGodKing.com who decided to scan a bunch of covers and re-title them in Photoshop. The inspiration came from a random garage sale purchase:

"So I hit up a garage sale over the weekend and bought a genuine, working-condition Atari 2600, with a huge stack of games nearly mint in their boxes, for a song. I thought I’d scan the box covers and give you all a look back into the fun of yesteryear."

That "fun" isn't exactly as you remember it thanks to titles such as "Every Sport Ever in Pong Form," "Wild and Groovy Space Combat," "It's F--king Checkers" and many more.
