Even if most of the Fighting Fantasy videogames produced were adventures and not CRPGs, I always liked all the related visuals and all the artists involved in the FF project. The advertising below is referred to Temple of Terror which was released for C64 (tape/disk), Spectrum 48k (tape) and Amstrad (tape/disk) in the 1987. The game itself was based on fourteenth Fighting Fantasy Book with the same name written by Ian Livingstone and it's nothing more than a text adventure.
From a visual point of view, the style of the illustration is pretty old school fantasy from the eighties/nineties, where a quite rich use of the colour was mixed wisely with the classic Western/European Medieval iconographical style. The artist name is Christos Achilleos who designed many of the FF artworks and related publications as well.
