Knights of the Crystallion
Another example of box art from the early 90s’s, Knights of the Crystallion (great title!) was a third person RPG mix of puzzling solving and exploring made solely for the Commodore Amiga in 1990 - so I think it’s safe to say, fairly obscure. Whats so appealing about this cover? it’s a smoke breathing Crystal Stallion hatching from an egg!
Knights of the Crystallion is an interesting looking Fantasy Game and one I’d never heard of until recently, read more at: http://www.mobygames.com/game/amiga/knights-of-the-crystallion
Peter Andrew Jones – Today We Choose Faces
Illustration used for the 1973 science fiction novel by Roger Zelazny.
No one does Sci-Fi costumes quite like Peter Andrew Jones; a ribbed and embossed figure hugging enviroment suit laced with intricate tubes and wiring. A slick helmet too with it’s slightly elongated shape and tech swoosh logo, all adds to the cool factor, and as with Blood Money – Peter Andrew Jones an excellent choice of Ray-Gun!
