What games from Zeppelin Platinum? I thought that was their full-price line from an otherwise budget house. Wasn't Sink or Swim a full price title on ZP, compared to their mostly budget catalogue? Or am I just mixed up here?

Twistin' is correct on that one- Zeppelin Platinum was the label Zeppelin used for full-priced games.

Powerplus = Microprose
Was Kixx XL only for US Gold? I remember games like Police Quest 2, Monkey Island 2, etc that were rereleased on the Kixx XL label? In fact, even Knights of the Sky (Microprose) was. Did US Gold acquire the rights to these games or something? |
