No Man's Sky Fan Creates Retro Box Art Inspired by Classic Consoles

A No Man's Sky fan creates retro console-inspired box art

A fan makes the decision to recreate what No Man's Sky might have appeared like, at least in terms of the game's box art, had it been released several decades earlier.

A No Man's Sky fan has decided to create some retro box art for the game as if it had been released in a more bygone era, in an effort to add a little nostalgia to these modern gaming times. A more recent title may occasionally be "demade" by someone else. Fans have transformed Resident Evil into a 16-bit Sega Genesis game, and Bloodborne has even undergone a PlayStation 1 makeover to give it a more vintage appearance.

Regarding the 2016 space exploration game itself, one of the biggest draws of No Man's Sky was its enormous map, which is said to consist of approximately 18 quintillion planets. However, even those who didn't play it when it first came out are probably aware of the backlash the developer faced when it became clear that the game's content had been oversold. However, the British studio was able to redeem itself, and after numerous updates, NMS seems to have recovered and is now well-liked.

Some No Man's Sky players prefer to express their appreciation for the game in additional ways beyond its creative features and base building mechanics. Consider the case of Reddit user spongeldn. A few images have recently been uploaded to the website, suggesting an alternate timeline in which NMS was released on consoles that were much older, namely the SNES and Sega Dreamcast. The look and feel of the games that would have been available on these systems all those years ago are captured in both of these images, which are both impressive in their own right.

Many people have praised spongeldn for their work in the comments, and one person even proposed the idea of making the game resemble an old PC release, complete with enormous cardboard box packaging. It's unfortunate that the Sega Dreamcast only existed for a brief time. Even though it had some cutting-edge features when it was first introduced in 1999, such as internet access at a time when home internet access was only beginning to gain popularity, it found it difficult to make a significant impact. It would have been interesting to see how ambitious No Man's Sky would have performed on Sega's final console.

No Man's Sky is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
