Mel Grant was/ IS a freaking awesome Artist. He drew the cover art for Ballistix/Judas Priest Rocka Rolla reissue/Steel Tsar Novel.
I would actually consider getting that as a tattoo. Its WICKED!

That cover for Ballistix was always awesome enough to make me weigh the box in my hand back in the day- thinking of buying it- always coming back to it- I guess logic prevailed in the long run- it is still to this day one of the few turbo chips that I don't own. I think I borrowed it from someone once- and I think it was as awful as I had suspected.
Thanks for the information, wasn't aware of that. The Ballistix cover art has always stuck out a lot to me. I like it!
I was totally unaware of this. I'll point it out to my metal-record-collecting brother and see if he notices.
but yeah, ballistix is one of the best turbo covers on one of the worst games.
The game totally sucks but the art and some of the music is pretty good.
I would like to find a poster of it.
Edit: Found it on Mel's Official Site! SUPER COOL

Awesome info., thanks for sharing. Who knew that the Turbo was green and recycling years before it was cool; I bet it's the official game console of Al Gore. :)

That's effin' cool, but $165 plus shipping is a bit steep for my cheap ass.
