I can't believe I didn't notice this before, but I have three Zeliards from Sierra (same slipcover-over-box format as Codename: Iceman, King's Quest 4, LL1, Sorcerian, Thexder, etc. -- you know, all the 1987-1990 Sierra releases) and I took one down to record some sound from it and lo and behold, it's different. Meaning:
- Slipcover is printed thin cardboard, not glossy like original - Slipcover has same illustrations but the font used for the lower-left corner infobox is different - Box is white cardboard with a top flap instead of the normal 2-piece printed box - Instructions, disks, etc. were in a white envelope inside the box - All inside materials were xerox'd - Diskettes were plain label with 24-pin dot-matrix printing Sound familiar?! ;-) If that doesn't scream "Slash release" then I don't know what does. My question: Has anyone else seen Slash releases of Sierra 1987-1990 titles? -- Jim Leonard ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.oldskool.org/ Want to help an ambitious games project? http://www.mobygames.com/ Or check out some trippy MindCandy at http://www.mindcandydvd.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
