• The image is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original game in any way.
• This image has been used in several websites, and so use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is
• The image is of lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of inferior quality)
• No free or public domain images equivalent can be found, because this is the original artwork.
