Thread: Board Game Art and Graphic Design:: Copyright or Trademark on classic video game sprites?

I got me a game:

AstroMiner

Said game incorporates some elements from the classic "Asteroids" video game, and I'm introducing some "faction" elements which are homages to other classic video games of the time period.

What I'd LIKE to do is structure each faction's art to be representative of the game sprites of the video game they're derived from.

So... for example, the "Tempest" faction would have that claw-like vector graphic as its logo, or the "Galaga" faction might have the two ships docked side by side.

Can I... legally... do that? I've seen Space invader sprites on T-shirts and similar game sprites in other places.
