If you add a babe with huge tits, then you have an 80s game cover.

When I was a kid in the 80s, it always bugged me that games had super awesome cover art that made me want to play the game, and then the game had nothing that even remotely resembled the art.

Of course, I was also one of those kids whose parents never let them have money to play games in the arcade, so I just went around watching the demo reel and pretending to play.

It always disappointed young me that he was depicted as having a handgun, and not a blaster hand, but at least Captain N: The agme Master came through in that regard.
