Since I'm asking questions: My Apple Wasteland has copyrights from 1986 - 1988 (depending on where you look). Does anybody have one with ONLY 1986? Did it actually hit the shelves in 86, 87 or 88? I think 88.
I bought mine in 1988, but I have the IBM PC version.
Starflight is interesting because the only copyright in the game is 86. So I'm guessing the standard box was a 1988 re-release. Tom (or anybody), what is the copyright on yours?
Starflight 1988 standard box is not only a re-release, it is the coveted EGA version. Original Starflight only supported Hercules, CGA, CGA composite, and Tandy/PCjr video modes. The EGA version Standard Box release was two years later. Still later after that (sorry I don't have exact year), Slash re-released the 1988 EGA version with, of course, substantially lower quality in the packaging and documentation (standard Slash stuff, like B&W labels and xerox'd docs).
Yes, I love Starflight.
EA started using the standard boxes regularly in 88. I seriously doubt they
came out with Wasteland standard box before flat box.
They didn't, I was working at a Babbage's at the time and very clearly remember C64 Wasteland on the shelf in flatbox, then 6 months later the PC version in standard box.
He's most likely wrong.
Yep. My experiences contradict his ;-) -- 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/
