Video game sticker time. Today we look at some great games, well-known and lesser-known, with some very nice painted covers. Home computer versions of SNK's Athena sported artwork by Bob Wakelin (also known for the iconic art from Contra) which was, truthfully, far too good for the game itself; for western releases of Ecco the Dolphin, Sega commissioned art from none other than Boris Vallejo, even though they had perfectly suitable art in the Japanese version already; Magic of Scheherezade was an interesting multi-class action RPG by Culture Brain with a lovely cover that I don't know the artist for; and Starflight 2 (sequel to the original Starflight and direct inspiration for the phenomenal Star Control series), which was illustrated by Sean Joyce.
