A great achievement of Atari since 1977 which no other system has beaten is the quality of the artwork.

I enjoy the Codebreaker game, and all the puzzle style cartridges had this outstanding artwork:  realist paintings  superimposed on eachother as a series of images.

 

But who were the artists?

Commercial art is notorious for not crediting skilled artists; meanwhile someone who can't handle a paintbrush is feted in a gallery and sells their work for a fortune- my father was a commercial and gallery artist, his commercial work helped the companies but not credited.

 

Drew Suzan who did the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album cover appears to have done  the Raiders of the Lost Ark  but the same artist who did Video Chess appears to have painted Night Driver and Haunted House.

 

I'd be interested int  the late 80s  cartoon artists but only as curiosity.  Its's the early  years that are classic
