As nice as game covers are now I'm just never going to love them the way that I love these overstylized beauties. I wish there was a way to track down some of these artists.

I would love to own coffee mugs of all of these wonders of the "modern" world.

Please feel free to add your own.

I'll be updating this from time to time.

This looks like modern Japanese pop art. Drugs and alcohol are definately not ruled out of the creation of this one.

The game was based on the Saturday morning kids game show of that name, hosted by Stubby Kay and spun off from the weekday morning game show "Video Village," which wa shosted by Monte Hall (later of Let's Make A Deal fame). While the art may look odd, it's actually a pretty accurate depiction of the Shenanigans show. :)

The commercial theme ": Shenanigans! Come on and play with me, Shenanigans!" Innuendo rears its playful head again! :p

:p You won't 'see' THIS in 'Neverland' as there's a ''No Kids Land'' and ''Touch & GO directly to JAIL Mr.M.J.''!(*note* not applicable IF a 'California Jury is involved'!)
:surprise:

Thanks, Tim. I hadn't thought about the theme song in a long time, but as soon as I read your post, the tune popped back into my head.

Of course, today, with all the news stories about pedophiles, the lyrics would certainly have to be reworked. :D

Hey, that kid is clearly trying to capture the camel with his foot, and not with his hand as the instructions suggest. What is wrong with that little bastard?

Can't blame the kid for trying to score a camel-toe. ;)
