The original artwork looks like the far-too-saturated colours that seemed to be in Windows games in the late 90s. If someone told me that was the artwork from JetPac for Win98 I'd believe them, and tut.

I'd think that that was just 1980s printing technology for you. You'd have had to allow for the fact that everything was going to come back very washed out.

Once printing got better and started to actually look like what was designed, the artists then had to tone things down a bit.

Hmmm.... Colours too bright for you, eh? Are you a C64 fan in disguise? ;)

Marvellous. The bottom-most half-hidden line reads 'Do not touch this artwork as' so the same as on the sticker.
In the 80s there there often airbrush artworkers alongside big events like computer fairs.
