Or is it a wrong in-game pic?

No, the pic is ok. In the 1989 "Concurso de Aventuras de MicroHobby" a lot of programmers used logos from Dinamic/AD/Aventuras AD, see for exampleJuan F. Ramirez wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 9:39 amCurious, it displays the Dinamic logo...+3code wrote: ↑Wed Aug 12, 2020 6:09 pm This game:

Good catch! This is an unauthorized use of the logo. wonder if the author put it there to hint he wanted his work published+3code wrote: ↑Wed Aug 12, 2020 6:09 pm This game:

That Microhobby magazine contest was organized by Aventuras AD, so it makes sense a lot of programmers used a Dinamic logo at the time. You can read the full story here: https://wiki.caad.es/Concurso_de_aventu ... MicroHobby
Took the time to investigate this one a little more. The fragment of the code at the end of the tape seems to be identical to Arcadia's code. So, probably the image was extracted from a previously used tape. In any case, pretty sure Lawson is not one of the authors.druellan wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 4:13 am Dominoes (https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/1 ... m/Dominoes)
Something very odd about this game. D.H.L. is credited, but his name is not present on the game. But, if you inspect the code of the TAP version, you can find "1982 by IMAGINE SOFTWARÅCopyright: Program,Audio,VisuaìPresentóBY D.H.L?" This looks like a leftover on the tape image.
Yeah, I think that's an issue that's carried over from the old WOS.+3code wrote: ↑Mon Aug 17, 2020 8:33 pm This game...

I'm trying to also figure out the roles:
Nodes of Yesod
Steve Wetherill - code
Colin Grunes - ingame graphics
Stuart James Fotheringham - ingame graphics
Paul Salmon - ingame graphics
Fred Gray - music
Arc of Yesod
Steve Wetherill - code
Colin Grunes - ingame graphics
Stuart James Fotheringham - ingame graphics
Paul Salmon - ingame graphics
Fred Gray - music
Robin of the Wood
Steve Wetherill - code
Paul Salmon - ingame graphics
Andy Walker - music
Heartland
Steve Wetherill - code
Colin Grunes - ingame graphics - loading screen - level design
Stuart James Fotheringham - ingame graphics (uncredited)
Keith Tinman - music
Pretty sure Colin Grunes did also the loading screen for Nodes and Arc of Yesod, but I don't have a confirmation roaming Steve's blog.
That was going to be my next suggestion
Also the price in the entry is listed at £6.00... In the advert it says £6.00 is the ZX81 price, Speccy price is £7.00. Not sure how prices work in ZXDB but I thought I'd mention it.Juan F. Ramirez wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 10:59 am Sea War (Panda Software, 1982)

It says its genre is Strategy Game: War, and Multi-turn type: Turn-based.
I think it's clearly an arcade/shooter game.
The ZX81 price would go on the ZX81 entry; but the various Panda Software ZX81 titles don't appear to be in the database.
