Artwork Samples

This drawing shows the initial idea for the Scared Stiff backglass. You will notice that the spinning spider is no-where to be seen as it had not been thought of at the time. Had the game not included this back-box toy, the backglass might have possibly looked much like this.

Notice the absence of the title 'Scared Stiff' - The game was not named at the time this sketch was done.
