I am proud to have a small collection of some of the artwork used to create the covers of Mastertronic computer games. They were painted onto board and then photographed to form the backing artwork on top of which were overlaid the company logo and graphics for the game title and details. In our early days the artwork was framed and kept in our offices - later on as the pictures piled up they were slung in a cupboard and forgotten. I rescued as many as I could. I wish I had done more.
The colours may seem different to the printed covers. In some cases the print emphasised certain colours. Some of the artwork may have faded over time and perhaps some of the inks are more susceptible to fading than others. The photographs of the artwork were taken in July 2002 using a Fuji Finepix 2600 digital camera.
The description beneath each thumbnail is the title of the game, the computer formats on which it was released, the label under which it was published and the year of first publication.
