Game Over is a shoot-em-up computer game developed by Spanish software company Dinamic Software and published by Imagine Software in 1987 for the ZX Spectrum[1], Amstrad CPC[2] Commodore 64[3] and MSX.[4]

[edit] Sequels

Game Over was followed by a sequel, Phantis (also known as "Game Over II"), published by Dinamic Software for the same platforms, in 1988.[5]

[edit] Cover image

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,[7] but even so retailers demanded that logos be placed over the nipples.
