[edit] Cover image controversy
Game Over is best known as a controversial game in which a visible female nipple can be seen in its advertising and inlay artwork which original appeared on the cover of Heavy Metal (May 1984 - Vol.8 No.2) called Cover Ere Comprimee and is attributed to Luis Royo.[6] Oli Frey, the art editor for Crash magazine painted over the original bare-breasted image with the thin grey corset so that it could be printed, but even so retailers demanded that logos be placed over the nipples.[7]
