This is the first time I have seen written on a game cover, that the picture on the cover is not what the game will look like :)

How can you see it chris? The image is much too small on my screen. Even when I blow it up, it's too pixelated.

"An artist's impression of one of the adventure's scenes"?

A few years after the VIC-20, when games were sold on many formats simultaneously, it would be common to have an Atari ST or Amiga screenshot even on the ZX Spectrum cover, and a small text that the actual screenshot may come from a different computer than the game is for.
