Hardcore Gaming 101 - Japanese Artwork of Western Games

We're all familiar with Japanese box art being changed for Americans, whether they alter the art style completely or replace minimalistic covers with garish Photoshopped collages.

Most of these images were yanked from Amazon Japan and Lik Sang, so, uh, patronize them, I guess.
