Reception
Reception
Controversy arose around the presence of a visible nipple on the advertising and inlay artwork, which had originally appeared on the cover of Heavy Metal (May 1984 - Vol. 8, No. 2) called Cover Ere Comprimee and is attributed to Luis Royo. Oliver Frey, the art editor for Crash magazine, added a metal corset covering the exposed area so that it could be printed in their magazine. In the end retailers demanded that a logo be placed over the original artwork's nipple. Game Over won the awards for best advert and best inlay of the year, according to the readers of Crash. The game itself was mostly well received. Computer & Video Games awarded it 8/10 for the ZX Spectrum and 7/10 for the Amstrad CPC versions. The MSX version was rated an overall 8/10 by MSX Extra, and the Commodore 64 version was given a score of 68% by Zzap!64. Your Sinclair rated the ZX Spectrum version 9/10, but the 1990 re-release edition from Alternative Software, which featured a sanitised version of the original cover described as "tragically modified", was given only 52% for its high difficulty level.
