The cartridge art was always so kickass. You just had to use your imagination quite a bit...

Last panel inaccurate, games were vibrant and awesome
Just like the ones today that will feel amateurish compared to future immersive games. Give it time
Perhaps like this?
I like this version better!
It's a little less impressive when I got my 8-bit console after 16-bit ones were already out, but that didn't stop me from playing.
Yeah, I played them a little out of order too, but I never cared as a kid.
Games today (also games in the mid 90s) tend to focus on graphics and not as much gameplay, problem with this is that they tend to age poorly, which is why Atari, Famicom, and C64 games are well remembered and still being played to this day but Amiga games aren't as much, they were primarily designed for graphics and thus look dated today.
It's also why many Indie games embrace the retro style and game mechanics instead of going for graphical wows. These games are just relevant and enjoyed for longer.
