This was our fourth Christmas cover, and the conflict between a seasonal picture and the decision to feature a particular game was a problem. On the other hand, in a year of violent games, Pac-Land at least offered a more peaceful theme. I confess a disadvantage: as I write this, the painting hasn't be done, but the idea is to have loads of Pacs playing about in the snow, and so you, as well as I, can be the judge of the result when we see it.
