It's a crappy job, but someone's gotta go it. B-)
No answer so far. This combined with the fact that he only has the one item
listed, with a BuyItNow price, says "low profile" to me. He's sold one
already, check his completeds. Time to post a warning, but I've learned
from last time: Don't identify the guy just yet, but give people enough
clues to be suspicious if they see him. Half-debating bidding and
retracting, just so I can get his contact info (demonic li'l bastard, ain't
I?)

RE: Re: [SWCollect] Bard's Tale 1 packaging variations
Sure, I'm always glad to make people feel good about themselves by way of comparison to my misery :-))) It's my own fault for accumilating so much "junk."

Re: [SWCollect] Bard's Tale 1 packaging variations
Judging from the "fine print" on image 1, I'd say that's a more recent version, since they make the disclaimer that "screenshots shown are for the Amiga version, other versions may be different" etc. Image 2 has none of that, probably since all versions then had same "quality" of gfx. I have no Amiga BT1 to confirm, but I can check the C64 and AppleII flat packs I have at home, which I suspect will be of the image 2 type. Pedro -- Pedro R. Quaresma Salvador Caetano IMVT Div.
