When I come to think of it, I remember an advert of Cabal which features a blonde soldier whose face is very similar to Dolp Lundgren. I have no pictures, though.

Bob Wakelin provided some answers for Cabal which might shed some light on this.

Interestingly, I don't think Bob created the original artwork for Chase H.Q., but rather he reproduced artwork created by Taito.

Maybe it just was a personal thought by Wakelin that it looked like Harrison Ford or he mixed it up with other artwork?

btw (not Amiga related) i found the Lisa Lyon photo he used when doing the "Athena" art

Random bloke on the front cover of Fire!

Nice find.

NLS · 28 March 2008, 13:46

how do you do it guys?

laffer · 21 January 2009, 16:42

The character isn't so similar here, but the box design really is. I just discovered this now as I've started playing these Tex Murphy games.
It's so obvious that I guess most people have seen this already -

Mean Streets -

Blade Runner -

DDNI · 21 January 2009, 17:21

Hey Laffer, I think the Mean Streets guy looks like Adam Sandler...

I saw those future buildings in some slideshow by Crusaders.

Retro-Nerd · 21 January 2009, 20:19

This AMC guy looks a bit like Val Kilmer.

Retro-Nerd · 21 January 2009, 20:37

Probably intended: The guy on the Logo cover looks like Harald Schmidt, a famous German talkshow host.

Retro-Nerd · 21 January 2009, 20:46

Jeffrey Jones?
