Manual/Miscshot confirmation - Page 3

You see the same Disk in the Trple Action 2.
Prism Leisure used it for many Re-Releases.

TCD · 17 August 2023, 15:35

Ah, that would make sense. I'll remove it from the game entry until there's actual proof for a budget release. Thank you

For Conquestador/Spoils Of War I'm trying to find info about the Internecine and Top Shots releases. I can't find any other mention of them publishing the game other than on HOL.

So at least it was planned. Maybe they just distributed the GDG release in the UK? It would be odd if they published a version with a new box and nobody owns it.

Hmm, for the PC and only as an offer. Couldn't find any other mention of a data disk for the game.

But that's for the game Conquestadoe

Those offer lists of games by merchants aren't very reliable. Lots of announced games/ports were listed but never showed up. Like with reviews that indicate that a game is supposed to be ported it's not 'solid' enough that there was actually more than just the intention of that happening.

TCD · 22 August 2023, 13:55

This time for something on MobyGames: https://www.mobygames.com/game/67831/ubek/covers/

The 'Other Cardboard' scans look like a box to me, but maybe somebody has seen the game and can tell me what those two scans are.

It seems you're right.
The packaging is a simple cardboard envelope containing three floppy disks and a short leaflet.

TCD · 22 August 2023, 14:42

Thank you for confirming

TCD · 04 September 2023, 14:01

Today a box: https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/c...hallenge#scans

The second box. Since I'm not a native speaker it would be great if somebody could confirm that the language is Portuguese

Trying to figure out if Arazog's Tomb was actually released for the Apple Macintosh. There's an ad for the game:

and there was a preview in Computer Gaming World Issue 33: https://archive.org/details/Computer...ge/n3/mode/2up

I can't find that version anywhere. The only version that is available seems to be the Amiga version.

Thank you

Weird that there isn't even a photo of the box online.

The first link is interesting. When you switch to English it's clear they have a copy, but an actual image of it isn't available. Might send them an email.

Found also this which claims opposite

Well, they say it's missing not that is wasn't released

I wrote an email to RCGS to confirm if they own a copy of the Macintosh version.

Top of the page:
"An editor is fairly certain this game don't really exist."

I'll blame insufficient research
