Description The remnants of a computer game cassette cover I did about thirty years ago.  I'm not that cool with babies.  I absolutely don't trust the little bastards.  They all look alike and they have no teeth. Or is that old people?  I get them confused.  Just keep 'em away from me, is all. Anyway, I didn't mind this one so much because it was a robot.  For those of you who aren't familiar with the expression 'berk', it means foolish person, and is a rather old and really quite vulgar piece of English rhyming slang.  Whatever the Berkeley Hunt was, that's where it came from.  It's true!

Interesting... I had to look it up.  Here are some more materials and info about the game: plus4world.powweb.com/software…

Wow! And there's my cover art...and at the bottom of the section is the sketch sent to me by the guy who commissioned the art from me...a great cartoonist himself!  We're still buddies - in fact he came to visit a few months back.  It's strange seeing that sketch after three decades!  But a look at the screen reminds me why I never bothered with computer games as a pastime.

Ever see 'The Demon Seed?'  SHUDDER!  It reminds me of 80's video game art.

Weirdly, I did see it on TV some time after painting this, but I'd never made the connection until now!  You're absolutely right! Ugh - I hope there isn't a human forming inside that casing!!
