I'm sure the 80s and 90s cared more about the box art lol  

Growing up I would want to play a game if the box art looked awesome because there really wasn't any internet/media to show the gameplay/trailer.  I couldn't afford buying gaming magazines all the time either.

But game magazines were usually in tye same stores the games were being sold at right? Why didn't you glance through one  before purchasing a game?

I remember the magazines didnt always show all the games at the store.  I had to make decisions by the box art and how it looked like at the back of the box lol  I must say those were good times blindly buying games without a single clue hehe
