Definitely like!! Very cool. I hope you don't mind if I put this on the Adventurers' Guild for download as well?

I don't mind. I figured you would want it. I should mention that I found it on worldofspectrum.org It's a pretty cool site. Check it out.
Apparently the image came from SinclairUser magazine Issue073,

I remember this well - the same issue as the playable demo (just the Skara Brae level) appeared on the covertape.

I was hooked immediately- bought the full game as soon as it came out and the rest is history...

Fantastic. It would be fun to guess the races and classes of the patry. For example, I guess the member performing the dismbowment is a hunte achieving a critical hit.
I believe ZZap! 64 may have contained some BT related artwork too, especially in the adventuring and tips sections.

Cool art. I like the first one. I'd imagine it appears sort of a magician versus conjuror battle of some sort.

The second is a bit strange, I mean what's that guy doing to the frog? Frog appears a bit shocked and disturbed. :shock: Poor frog.
