I'm doing my part!

While looking stuff up for another post I found a collection of every coverart for every intellivision game. Some really fantastic art in here. in c/retrogaming@lemmy.world

Mattel really did have great box art. Shit controllers, but great cover art and decent graphics for the time. I remember when my buddy got the voice module and B17 Bomber. When that thing talked, it was like magic.

I've never heard anyone call the OG Enterprise crew "flat." It's definitely a 60s show, but it's great. Just have fun with it.

The main current Star Trek title has been a lot of fun, as has Defiant. The ST:TMP follow-up book hasn't been as good. Sometimes the characters don't look much like the actors. Still, IDW has been doing a good job overall with Trek, so I'm absolutely going to give this new one a chance.
