I rented many games solely based on their covers, only to be mildly disappointed when I got home.

I remember renting Phalanx just because of the box. like "why's this old man playing the banjo?" then you look at the back and it's a friggin space shooter. I had to rent it.
The agency that created the box art created it for the exact reason you picked it up.
"you can't take the sky from me"
TIL Firefly is part of the Phalanxverse.
yeah after posting this I read the story on Destructoid about it. It worked. it was a meh game but the only reason I wanted to play it was because of that box.
