We thought Zelda’s Adventure was the laziest box art we’d ever encountered (basically a picture of a windowsill). However, we do stand corrected.  One astute reader sent us in this JPEG of Parker Bros. 2600 port of Reactor - a game that finds you piloting a spacecraft through an unstable nuclear reactor to prevent this dull image from manifesting in the game.

How Parker managed to make an explosion look drab is the only (arguably) impressive aspect about this whole image. The stock explosion, which seems to be coming from a picture frame, or maybe it’s a playing card, looks like something a four-year-old could scribble in two minutes.
