What game is the skeleton image from? It’s tremendously better as a painting than Sierra’s usual standard for these AGI games.

I recall the Manhunter games used AGI for some really impressive graphics (for 1988/89 anyway). Those games used lots of closeups and other cinematic angles which was also very unusual compared to Sierra’s usual flat third-person aesthetic. Maybe that’s where the skulls are from?

Yep, it's from the first one. Manhunter: New York.
