This is another interesting one. First, Martin Severn is credited for some reason, but also, there is MAS (Russia) credited, I think because there is a MAS signature on the loading screen, but I don't think it is related to the author. [mention]moroz1999[/mention] any chance we can confirm this?

Good point. I bet "MAS - Jabba" in loading screen refers to MArtin Severn (aka Jabba) and it has nothing to do with MAS.

Also if MAS is really the same person as here, then country needs to be fixed in both ZXDB and ZX-Art to Lithuania instead of Russia. Right?

No, all screens with Jabba only have Jabba and not a repeat of his non-alias.

It seems to be Michael A Sanderson - as also seen on https://zxart.ee/eng/authors/m/michael-a-sanderson/

I'm sure that MAS in this case is indeed Michael Sanderson. He has worked with Players, he really used MAS as signature and the style is similar. I've found my old comment from 2014 regarding this case
Thanks, I'll do the corrections as well. MAS as alias for Sanderson, Lithuania for Sergey Marinichev .

@PeterJ this thread seems more at home in the zxdb section?

Agreed. Anyone got any issues with me moving it?

As it helps improve the DB, I think it's ok to move

The Empire Strikes Back

There is a signature in the bottom right. It is hard to read, but might be Josh Hayes, or perhaps Jim Hayes.

Also the instructions give roles for the authors. Derrick Austin just did graphics; the rest are described as programmers. This should be added to ZXDB.
