Did you license the image from Aleste Game, or you just outright stole it ?
Well:
** I'm a HUGE fan of all Aleste games from, now defunct, Compile. Since early MSX games (my first computer)
** The images are used only at the help page. More like a tribute to Compile than something to tweak customers into thinking it's another type of game
** I consider it as a fair use/fair dealing under general copyright law. You have the right to disagree
But, I must tell you something about the word "stole" that you used above.
Remember that, if you damage someone's reputation by trying to embarrass them in a public forum, you could be sued for libel or defamation. After all, there's no reason to assume that the messages you send through cyberspace are immune from lawsuits.
I'm willing to take the risk about Compile. How about you?

Because you're threatening me I look at your past game/apps,
and true enough you never use any original art anyway (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, Hello Kitty, Kirby).
And also, are you the same user as ombaudsman ? who is banned from toucharcade.
You do have a history of using images from other games. IF you somehow took someone to court you would lose in seconds due to use of unlicensed images. Easy case
