Just to remind you of the shitty covers we get in the US:
^ Yeah, but that makes sense when you think about it: old Greek poetry was always sung and accompanied by music until probably the Hellenistic era, and even after that into the Roman era it was likely still to have been a song at certain occasions.
And the audience now demands a recording of you singing.

It's even more amazing to think that those covers are 10x better than the shit we see now... even though the in-game graphic art nowadays is 10x more incredible.

It's always been hit or miss with box art (except for SMS, where it was always miss). Psygnosis was just one of those companies that released consistently stunning artwork.
Those covers are the motherfucking ass!!!! Only Psygnosis game I had back in the day was Lemmings and even that had sac-slappingly amazing artwork!!!!!!!!!!!
