It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots for identification and critical commentary on the computer or video game in question or the copyrighted character(s) or item(s) depicted on the screenshot in question on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law, as such display does not significantly impede the right of the copyright holder to sell the copyrighted material, is not being used to generate profit in this context, and presents ideas that cannot be exhibited otherwise. See Wikipedia:Non-free content. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. Note: This tag should not be used for screenshots of free software; use the license tag corresponding to the software's license instead, optionally alongside {{Free screenshot}}.

Although this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the United States fair use laws because:

• It's a low resolution screen shot of the video game under discussion.
• Use of the image doesn't limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the game in any way, but in fact may encourage sales.
• Because of its low resolution copies of it could not be used to make any illegal copies of the image.
• Its sole use here is to identify the subject of discussion within the article.
• The image is significant because it is used to explain aspects the game.

[edit] Image Source

• The image was derived from digital capture (photo/scan) of the video game. The creator of this digital version is irrelevant as copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party. Copyright is held by the game's developer, Virgin Games. Claimed as fair use regardless.
