I wonder who painted that. I know Hideaki Kodama seems to have painted a number of Konami things from around that era, and while that could certainly be his, it seems a touch more cartoony than his usual stuff.

Psygnosis always had the best box art. Most of it was by a guy called Roger Dean, who also did album covers for prog rock groups. Always makes me think of Chris Foss spaceship art...

Are some box arts in danger of being lost and never seen again as rare games have had their boxes largely destroyed, thrown away, misplaced, etc. This would mostly apply to say rare Japanese only titles with little to no scans on the internet

Nope it was the Germany censorship laws as previously mentioned.

Nintendo did have a rule in place where a publisher could only release a certain number of games a year which is why Konami set up secondary publishing houses like Ultra (in the US) and Palcom (in Europe) to sidestep the restriction.

I have strong memories attached to this box. When I was young I would just keep seeing it in computer shops, on shelves, behind glass. It represented, to me, adult computer games that I just wouldn't understand. What else could it be but a game for stiff-necked, smoking computer enthusiasts?
