Favourite covers

Feeling nostalgic this morning (which is lucky) and was thinking about some of my favourite covers.  Certainly one that bring me out in gooseybumps is Daley Thompson's Decathlon.  This was a cracking game as well and one which we will look at in more detail later on but the cover was one of those which got over the excitement of competing and winning in a competition.  And it had the olympic rings on, wonder if they would get away with that these days without paying a million?!

I work for the company you see in the email address I submitted. We are looking to create a handful of blogs on our UK site and we're hoping that you might have an interest in doing some freelance work. If so, please contact me at the email address I submitted so we can discuss further.

I can't remember the name of the artist that created the Daley Thompson's Decathalon cover art, but he did a load of other games too. I once went to this tiny retro games fair (back in the 90's - eBay were there trying to win people over to this crazy idea they had about people auctioning their stuff online) and some of the original signed prints were there, including the DTD one...

How awesome is that?!
