The monsters are all realistically creatable in the game. The child is not the protagonist. He is nowhere to be found in the game and is probably impossible to create.

These are your choices of protagonist.

Back in the day, the cover used to help you make a mental picture of what you were playing.
Back when nothing really looked like anything. I didn't realize that until later.
Kinda interesting in away. The cover art informed the perception of the game.

I know that is different now.

You know, I am not a huge Nintendo guy, but I was going to say.
...There core classics had the in-game pixelated art as their covers.
Gotta give 'em that one.

Not that I am knocking the old idealized covers of yore.
Those really went a long way...not even joking.

Ya, but it added to it. Instead of being spoon-fed graphics you were allowed to make of it what you willed.
I'm not saying I want to go back to those days. But it is part of the story.

The SNES cover art doesn't help much either.

I like how Capcom threw Bad Boxart Mega Man into Street Fighter Tekken as a gag. I really don't know how they thought that was a good idea to draw him like that back in the day, lol.

We'd already gotten used to bullshit box art over the previous decade.

Wow. First thoughts going into this topic: MM1, The Guardian Legend, and Forsaken.
I think the Catherine cover art captures the surreal nature of the game. Sorry you don't literally slip into boobies.
