That's actually not a bad interpretation of Metrocross's gameplay :)

What is the game with Clinton and S. Hussein on the cover called?

It's a strategy game called The Third World War.

This one has always bothered me, primarily because it's so disingenuous to what the game actually is. I mean at least Phalanx had a spaceship zooming in the background, and eventually got a much more honest cover:

I hate this cover art:

And I always loved how for some reason they forgot to capitalize the 'T' in this game's title:

But considering how awful the game is, I guess I'm not surprised. Still, a lot of survival horror games have at least decent cover art(and some have really awesome cover art), so I guess that is what really gets me about this one.

That Super Bust-a-Move art irrationally pisses me off every time I see it.

The BaM2 matchstick cover is equally stupid.

This box art really makes me feel like I have walked in on something I shouldn't have and I greatly regret doing so.

Plumbers do not wear ties. If one comes to your house and is wearing a tie, hide your wife.
