I love the artwork on so many 80s and 90s games, there is nothing like it now - except for the awesome new games for 80s computers - like Red Sunset.
Even the worst games like Atom Smasher and Alien Break-In have really cool artwork that is worthy of being on any wall or T-Shirt.
What game artwork comes to mind that you think should be made into posters & t-shirts?

btw... is there an existing Game Cover Art website?
Google '80s game cover art' and it will make you wet.

I wouldn't mind but the artwork for Metrocross was actually good.
The above looks like a bad CVG article (probably same publishing and writing team!)

There were in Spain two great cartoonists who drawed some of the best covers ever: Alfonso Azpiri and Luís Royo:

Ah Luis Rojo, as a teen I had bought a couple of coffee table books and a calendar with his work without realising the connection.
Speaking of cartoonists (I don't think that title applies any more), didn't Simon Bisley do Golden Axe? I know he's done others (like Gods) but I can only think of Golden Axe with regards to the CPC.

Yes! And Azpiri made an adult series for Cimoc, called Lorna, that incidentaly also has a game...
Please, don't take my ugly translation of "dibujante" as cartoonist as disrespect... I didn't find the word, so I went to Google Translate... My bad. I guess the appropiate word must be illustrators, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
Golden Axe cover for Europe was drawn by Dermot Power, as far as I could find.

Ahhh Lorna :) Be it a Russ Meyer movie, a game or a comic, always nice :D
Yeah I know what you meant by 'cartoonist', in Greek it's the same issue, it's the English terms that change. Nowadays illustrator/artist is indeed the correct form I think.
You're right about Golden Axe, I forgot it had a different cover here. A pity, Bisley was awesome. Slaine!
