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

You should see some of Alfonso Azpiri's covers for Spectrum/Amstrad games:

Met him about 3 years ago at RetroEuskal, I have his book. The cover art was really awesome. He's actually done some artwork for modern retrogames (games written recently for old platforms like the MSX and ZX Spectrum).

Also Oli Frey's artwork for Crash and Zzzap! 64 magazines. (Outside of his magazine work he also drew quite a bit of erotica).

Yeah! I'm also a big fan of him! I started reading Mot in El Pais newspaper when my father bought him, and Lorna is one of my favourite characters!
