Hi [mention]Rorthron[/mention]. [mention]StooB[/mention] pointed out that this is already covered here. We are working through updates as quickly as possible and as time allows.
No problem. It hadn't been mentioned in these threads, and I was unaware it had been discussed somewhere else in the forum.
- but this is wrong - Moon Alert and Gilligan’s Gold were definitely not "Ocean's debuting games"Working alongside Steve in those early days was artist, Bob Wakelin. Hired by Ocean in 1983 together with illustrator, Blair, Bob and Blair would be responsible for Ocean's debuting games, Moon Alert and Gilligan’s Gold.
- this seems to be wrong too, as he did the art for Royal Birkdale in 1983.Ocean’s founders, keenly aware of the importance of marketing and the quality of artwork they required, signed up Blair-Wakelin on the spot, although the partnership fell apart rapidly. ‘Moon Alert [1984] was the first thing I did in conjunction with Blair and then Gilligan’s Gold."
The evidence isn't conclusive, but it doesn't look to me that these were produced by the same artist:"But Bob kept his hand in with the odd illustration job and after two years started working with Blair, through whom he became involved with Ocean – or, as it was then, Spectrum Games."
Shouldn't all those Robert Evans be Robin Evans?Rorthron wrote: ↑Sat Aug 08, 2020 3:44 am Some Automata credits....

I guess Evans modified the photo for the cover. I think he should get an "additional art" credit only.

Yes, Robin Grenville Evans.
This appears to be what happened. Mel Croucher tells the story here (p 46):

Comparing the original photo and cover, I think Evans should perhaps get a cover art credit.
