I found the next one mentioned on WoS.
Iron Maiden, Killers album cover
Bedlam cover
Funnily enough in that thread Ralf said:
"It would be great to have all these references on new WOS at game records. Threads like this quickly get buried under dozens of other threads and images on the net tend to disappear."
Perhaps this information could be added to ZXDB.

How many games in the 80's featured xenomorph aliens?
R-Type and Gryzor are 2 that spring to mind, any others?

Well, the Alien franchise licensed games of course
Back to topic, I seem to remember that Code Masters were forced to substitute the Race Against Time inlay featuring Jesse Owens:

with this one:

Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
Does anybody remember what was the inspiration for the little robot from Pssst ?
I remember seeing some photo, probably from some movie, of a robot which looked exactly like the goy from Pssst but can't find it at the moment.

Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.

Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
I've never heard of that film. Just searched some info and it seems quite an interesting sci-fi film.
Curious the way how we can find films to watch!

Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
I came across an arcade flyier some days ago in internet (and can't find it now), from Nintendo's Puch Out. One of the characters looked very similar to this guy:

In fact, the game might be considered an unnofficial conversion of the Nintendo game.

Yes, many Street Fighter characters are inspired by some real or fictional person.The boxer in street fighter 2 was supposed to have been called Bison and looks like Mike Tyson
A quick Google search gave me this article where it is described in details:
