Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
Ah, but I'm using firefox....
The strange thing is that all of the images that I could previously see from you in this posting have also gone. Images from other forum members are ok though.

Odd.
Can you see Morkin's images of Balachor's Revenge in this thread? (He also used vgy.me.)

Nope, just the words image image. I can see Dave's graphpaper artwork though.Rorthron wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2018 11:58 am Odd.

Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
Oi, that's my graphpaper artwork!
It makes even less sense that you can see one, but not the other, as they are both on vgy.me.
To add to the confusion, I can't see R-Tape's images in that thread and they are not on vgy.me.

Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
To add to more confusion, I've fired up the other PC with Windows 7 and Chrome browser and the pictures are there...
The Firefox browser is with XP...
And to add even more confusion to the normal confusion, yes I see your Balachor graphpaper graphic with Win7 + chrome and I also see Dave's graphpaper wonderchars designs (the ones you don't see). And it's snowing outside!

It's my fault - I set the forum's buttock count to a maximum of 3 per post.

Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
Issue with the images is to do with HPKP pinning.
I've used the report button, in case it's a Firefox issue, but it looks like it's a problem with the website vgy.me screwing it up.
see: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ce ... ng-reportsAn error occurred during a connection to vgy.me. The server uses key pinning (HPKP) but no trusted certificate chain could be constructed that matches the pinset. Key pinning violations cannot be overridden. Error code: MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_KEY_PINNING_FAILURE

US Gold released Flak in 1984.

One year after, they released Raid Over Moscow. It seems they made the most of the Flak screen to made this:

Think it's a trust issue between Chrome and vgy.me, works fine in IE.Rorthron wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2018 11:58 am Odd.

Good spot with Game Over and Mutants!
At first I didn't notice it at all.

And here it is isn't obvious who copied after whom

It's the helmet. See two little "horns" at the forhead, nose cover, edges around the eyes. Too much similar for a coincidence

I can't find an exact match, but Movie looks like it was influenced by Casablanca:

Also I suspect Cavelon might have been influenced by the movie Excalibur:

Ha! They didn't even move it, just mirrored.
I made them face the same way, and XORd them together. Not much car left!

Heh - nice one. I've got that film on DVD somewhere - got it for 50p in a charity shop I think.
I don't think I've actually watched it yet - in fact, I don't think I've taken the plastic covering off it...
