Blame john4p...

The original cover does not make much sense either.

Well done - and you're right about the cover - that floating 'Evil Edna' thing would actually make more sense in Super C, it doesn't exist in Xybots -where the robots have a body!

Hmmm, I was speaking about the cover I posted. But well, if you wish: Xybots original cover does not make much sense

All that picture says to me is, "I'm 5 years old and Doctor Who is snazzy."

Well, maybe it is another game featuring Steve Davis

When I see the real box scan some parts of it remind me of something related to the world of children (sorry, I am a bit vague but I don't want to give it away too soon).

Oh, I see.

The balding, middle aged man in 1970s era glasses is taking something out of his pockets.

It's the "Stranger's Got Candy Simulator."
You know, for kids.

I must say I particularily drew bad and I can see how you could get such an idea.


I'll help you a bit. He is not taking something out of his pockets, but holding some handles.


And I'll help you further by saying it is not "balding, middle aged man in 1970s era glasses is gonna beat you up with his nunchakus"

The cover for the precursor (not released on Amiga) looks like this:

I don't care if you've got Tangfastics or the whole Liquorice Allsort selection. Keep smiling and keep walking mister.

Time for a hint I guess, so here is another game cover.

In the studio that made the following (Windows) game, there was a developer who is very well known in the video game industry and whose name is part of the title of the game you have to guess.



I am a bit vague and have not drawn the most well known games associated with the developer because it would probably become too easy (will do later if needed).

It is probably not Adventures of Robin Hood?

Of course not.

Besides, as it was not obvious, the game in post #298 was not released on Amiga (it is just aimed at giving a hint).
