Well, as far as I know, he only did covers for Dinamic games. I had never thought of that, you're most probably right. Other games he did covers for include: AMC Capitan Trueno (one of my all time favorite Spanish games) Game Over 2 (which was just the English release of Lorna) Do you know

About packaging experiences... once I received on a padded envelope this unopened game I was really looking forward to add to my collection. Everything went smoothly except for the fact that probably some moron from the Portuguese post office let it drop on water and the envelope was soaked, and

I've just seen the Game Over 2 box, it's definitely a Royo. But it was stated that it was originally to be known as Phantis... so this game had 3 names? Sorry, my goof on this one... it was called Phantis originally. Lorna was a game by Topo based on a comic book. Really great graphics
