Nothing says ‘bad’ like a guy wearing sunglasses and answering a phone while smoking a hoagie – who the hell answers a phone while puffing on a ciggie anyway? ‘80’s salesmen and women in high profile city jobs, that’s who. In the ‘80s everyone smoked all of the time…even in their dreams.  

Anyway, this illustration smacked of ‘80s yuppie-ism, and in a certain light almost looks like a conceptual sketch for the box art of a GTA game (sort of). To be honest we actual quite like the trashy feel of this image, but it’s up here because it makes what is essential a mundane oil magnate simulator look like an action packed Martin Scorsese picture with Lambog’s, choppers and plenty of shady dealings going on for the black gold. The game obviously loves that artwork too, with two mentions on the box that the game comes packed with a free poster. And while we can’t comment on what was on that free poster, we’d bet the farm on the probability that it was this action-packed image.
