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

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...

Aah, but it’s all due to the great Boris Vallejo!
Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
Can everyone see all the images again? They seem to have started working normally again on all browsers I use. I have tried Chrome, Firefox and Edge on Android and Windows 10. All six combinations are working fine now, where before only Edge was.
Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
Working all right in Firefox for me.
But I had some problems with images before. On my computer at work I couldn't see some image, at home I could although I was using Firefox at both places. Don't know what's the reason but can confirm the the problem exists from time to time.

I think the problem was vgy.me. That site suffered some sort of outage on 16 Jan and was not properly restored. Users were reporting pinned-key problems like the ones we have seen here. On 23 Jan they announced they would revert to the old system. I guess that has just happened. Hopefully that should be the end of the problems.

Everything from the vgy.me domain is blocked by default for Chrome users.
This is what I see under Windows and Mac OS when looking at vgy.me on Chrome...
Try IMGUR.com instead.
