Navy Seals (1991) 🔗


One of the things British micro shovelware publisher Ocean specialized in was movie licenses (they might be a major contributor to the bad reputation of games based on movies in earlier years), another was copying stuff. The cover simply recreates the variant of the Navy Seals logo from the film, but at least for one of the still images in between stages they went to one of their favorite sources, namely Marvel's The Punisher. The whole composition with the hero hanging on front of the window is swiped directly from Mike Zeck's cover, except the crime going on inside is a different one. There are several other human poses in these intermissions that might or might not also have famous sources.
