Tex Box
Posted: June 21, 2005 • 4:22 am
Hi all
First time out here but been with you all a long time. Meant to join in long ago and thought with the launch of this wonderful new board what better time to start.
So after years of hunting finally traked down boxed originals of Mean Streets and and extra copy of Martian Mem. Does anyone know what the original release boxes looked liked? Not the art work as Im sure we all know those all to well but the shape and style of box. Trying to figure out if I have completed my collection or if there are still elusive rare copies I dont even know about so was hoping the vast collective Tex know how here could help.
1) I now have two MS , the first is a 5.2" floppy floppy disc version old style PC sized box but has a book cover like flap. Was this the original release of Tex? The second is a regular top and bottom box 3.5" floppy disc set. Did this come out the same time or after the 5.2" set?
2) I now also have two MM. First is another book cover flap kinda box 3.5 floppy set. Think thats what throws me off and makes me wonder what versision came out when? Second is a selaed MM 3.5 floppy set with one of those slide off sleve things round a regular plain white/brown cardboard box and has a gold adventure game of the year award sticker so assumed this was a much later release.
Any help in figuring out this time line would be hugely appreciated and I hope a nice addition here as I dont recall ever seeing this topic before. Also hope you all understand what Im rambling about but if not then lets get this conversation going
And remember "All people who generalise are idots"
