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.

Partial (?) signature reads "GRAB"
As always this is an interesting one!

First, the artist name is Grabuge, you can peek the complete name on the Atari ST version of the inlay, and he is also credited for Knight Force's inlay: http://retrogameart.eklablog.com/grabuge-c68225

Image

Then, the only author credited is Martin Severn from Bizarre Computer Productions, but inside the game Bizzare is credited for the code, and Martin Severn (Jabba) for the graphics. SPOT/SPEX has this information: Bizzare <Bizarre Computer Productions (UK)>

Image

So:
Code by Bizzare from team Bizarre Computer Productions
Graphics by Jabba Severn
Loading Screen by Jabba Severn

Also: Design by Infogrames. This game is an official conversion of Wanted, an Amiga or Atari ST original by Infogrames, so that must be the tie-in license.
