Sorry if this was talked about previously, but I never saw it before. I was flipping through old albums and was stunned to see an actual album with arcade game Space Duel on the fron and back. The album/song titles seem to be related to Space Duel and how hard it is to play. I would love to hear the story behind this if anybody knows it.

It's funny that you found that because on a related note, I just picked myself up a nice 8/10 Space duel for $275 last Monday.

Sorry to jack your thread.
 
My brother bought that album back in '82. I have it in my collection now. Not sure what the story is behind it other than video games were hot at the time and maybe they used Space Duel on the album solely for that reason. The album name "It's Hard" maybe came from one of the band members playing Space Duel one time and thought it was hard?? Who knows....
 
Space Duel was on the cover because Warner, who owned Atari at the time, published the album.

I saw this post and I was like "Dammit Phil, eventually you need to share the love".

Then I saw the date on the post and realized that was Space Duel #1 and not Space Duel #4.

You're joking, right?
