Infinite Space’s U.S. and Japanese boxarts compared.

The Japanese cover looks classier, but at least this isn’t a Shiren-grade debacle, an irreversible dishonor passed down thousands of generations. In the Year 20XXX, a young cephalo-borg will bolt to his home galaxy faster than the speed of synth-light, tears in its many eyes, unable to cope with the ridicule of Sega’s U.S. box for Mystery: Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer, a shame he never asked for but nevertheless inherited when he was conceived.

Anyway, the fleet of ships on the Japanese packaging reminds me of an image I created years ago for an article that briefly mentioned Star Trek: Conquest:

It’s a random image and odd article from my Wii Fanboy days: “Games That Remind Me Of Your Mother”.
