Wow. That artwork just looks wrong.


I cant place my finger on just why.

EDIT: Just figured it out...


Let's just say

I said the same thing to Matt and Albert when I showed it to them...


Mary looks like she's VERY grateful for being saved....

It's odd that it's black and white.

What I meant was it's unfortunetly that only a B & W copy was found.

Maybe somebody can get creative with Photoshop.

That's some bad, and I mean laughably bad, artwork there. I think her shorts are painted on. And her right forearm looks bigger than her left. At least we now know which arm she used to swing her axe. She really doesn't look too concerned for her life either. Like, "Hey, could you come rescue me? If not, no big deal."

Anyway, it's nice that it was found...but I think starting from scratch would be better for any future reproductions :P

Well, at least we now know the real reason "Save Mary" never got released. :D

Because members of the gang F.P.O. spraypainted on the artwork? :?

Err... looks like a game where you are saving Mary (your Inflatable Sensual Companion™) from some exploding wave of white froth. :ponder:

Very eighties indeed with all the sprayed highlighting.

Reminds me of the X-Man artwork.

I think it's very progressive of them to make Mary a pre-surgery tranny.

You know will all the graphic artists we have around here, we could a get much more appealing label and box art from any one of them.
