Bedlam cover (1983) 🔗


Rock music album covers are not the most common source for game art, but among the earliest, like this early ZX Spectrum title Bedlam. In the game, your enemies are fairly goofy stick figures, but on the cassette case you're greeted by the nasty undead from Iron Maiden's album covers (although that one is also a somewhat crude representation).

Discovered by corsair from the Hardcore Gaming 101 forums.
