Earlier in the thread I posted the cover by Larry Elmore for the Avalon Hill game 'Princes Ryan's Star Marines' (aka 'Saving Princess Ryan'.). It turns out this was the second edition of the game, an earlier edition was published under the title 'Princes Ryan's Space Marines' by the East Wind Rain Co. The cover for that version was by William Lindsay.

Before the internet was 'Play by Mail' a form of game in which turns were sent into a central hub and the results sent back to the players via the postal system. One company that specialised in this form of gaming was Flying Buffalo Enterprises, one game they produced was the science fiction strategy game 'Starweb' the cover for the rule book was created by an artist only known as 'Anthony'.

If we're doing game stuff then we have to have this . . .



The iconic box top artwork to the BattleTech 2nd edition game, by Alan Gutierrez.
The same image was used for the 3rd edition, but as a result of the copyright problems that later beset FASA Corp., the 4th and subsequent editions used different artwork.

Heres one from the "So bad its good" category.
If someone had made a blaxsploitation sf movie back in the early 70s the poster for it might`ve looked like this

Interesting choice in futuristic clothing,a posing pouch and a spacesuit helmet,but not much else.
Its sort of like the opposite of Dave Bowmans problem after HAL locked him out of Discovery,he had a spacesuit but no helmet.
This was published way back in 1981,written by Steven E McDonald,who went on to write the novelisations for Event Horizon and Supernova
The cover art is by Lou Feck

That sounds like the old cliche were you add:

It's true, a friend of my age is getting married and needs all the help I can give him.

The cartoonist seems more interested in male anatomy than in technology. He has tried to represent a very advanced equipment for breathing underwater, but NASA already demonstrated during the tests of the pressurized Mercury suits that the hermetic seal of the neck causes unconsciousness in a few minutes.
