This non-free media file has been set up with as small a version as possible, to comply with Wikipedia's non-free content policy and United States copyright law. The current resolution has been manually selected to achieve as small an image as possible without destroying the image content. According to Wikipedia's policy for non-free content, the amount of non-free work should be as little as possible. In particular, non-free media on Wikipedia should not be usable as substitutes for the original work.

Reducing the image any farther (as it started from a scan from a magazine, one of the few surviving images of the game) would render the text beyond unreadable. --Masem (t) 20:07, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
