I'm the one who wrote this, back when I was first getting into game collecting and history. It's based on what I'd learned from numerous (popular) opinions, and I found nothing to contradict it at the time, but that doesn't mean there wasn't an obscure, forgotten graphical adventure game a few months/days before that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
