    I can’t research it at the moment, but I want to say that was a common thing in the pre-NES days, and I think Nintendo required actual gameplay graphics to be shown on the box because of that.

    Could be off on the specifics, but I do vaguely recall those kinds of non-representative box art having some controversy.
