Another publisher for which Greg Martin has frequently worked is Hudson Soft. Several episodes of the Adventure Island series were illustrated by Martin, whether on NES, Game Boy or Super NES.
Greg Martin also confirmed that he illustrated the covers of Super Bomberman and Bomberman 2, although there is some debate about the latter as well as with another Hudson title: Super Bonk (t's not impossible that his memory could have played tricks on him).
Speaking of Bonk, the illustration that Greg Martin made for Bonk's adventure is part of the works destroyed during a flood in 1995. Several originals were partially or totally destroyed in this incident.
Other games published by Hudson Soft and illustrated by Greg Martin include Atomic Punk (AKA Dynablaster / Bomber Boy), Inspector Gadget and Milon's Secret Castle.
