The Red Dragon Premier Series was a series of shareware DOS games released on 3.5 inch HD disks. This shareware series was distributed by Aptos Software.
Cover art[]
Red Dragon packaged the games in cardboard sleeves, which featured unique, custom cover artwork with a very distinctive style.
Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold[]
The cover art for Red Dragon's release of AoG depicts Blake in a showdown with a gigantic, humanoid mutant. Blake is standing at the edge of a crumbling platform, while the mutant is standing on the floor below yet still towering above Blake. A tunnel entrance and some pillars are visible in the distance. Also present in the background are various generic mutants and a robot.
The massive mutant that Blake is facing is not actually in the game. Its appearance is most similar to that of the Experimental Mutant Human, although while the ingame enemy is still huge, its size as shown on the cover is greatly exaggerated.
