My parents bought an IBM PC in November 1983 when I was only 17 years old (so I am now 36!). A few weeks after that, I bought my very first PC games: Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.0 and Microsoft Decathlon. I'm glad that I still have both of these games, as well as the original IBM PC! 8-) I have been collecting PC games since then and I must have now somewhere between 1000 and 1200 of them I'd say (I don't know the exact number right now). I now collect every game genres but, up until 1996, I had never bought a single adventure games because, as a player, I did not like that kind of games very much. Now, as a more serious collector, I try to acquire the classic adventure games as well. I have been suscribed to the swcollect mailing list for a few years and I have read several of your messages over the years; I have even done business with some of you on a few occasions since 1996. However, I am sorry to say but, up until now, I never took the time to write and send a single message myself!

Re: [SWCollect] WC3: Premiere Edition
Wow, talk about asking and receiving :) That is some great info, thanks, Joe! It looks like we could attribute the low production figure only to the direct sale release, some 1,500 copies seem realistic for a mail-order item. I'm almost sure the European release included not only the T-shirt, but also the VHS tape and calendar. The opened copy I have may be incomplete, but here's a pic I saved from eBay: http://uw3.de/wc3_premiere_4.jpg The calendar is what sits between canister and tape. Thanks again for the information, further details would be great! /Alexander -Original Message- From: Origin Museum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 03, 2003 7:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Re: [SWCollect] WC3: Premiere Edition I don't think that I can straighten this out, but I may be able to shed a little light on the subject: To the best of my knowledge, there were 3 different versions of the Wing 3 Premiere Edition: 1. Direct Sale from EA--This was the FULL package, obtainable only via mail-order. This included the game (in the film canister), the music CD, the VHS video, the T-Shirt, the 'Behind The Screens' CD, and the 1995 Wing Commander calendar. This version came in a BROWN Cardboard Mailing Box, with the extras packaged OUTSIDE the canister...there was NO 'game box' for this version. 2. European Release--This is the box that Alexander shows. Since I do not have a copy of this (gasp!), I cannot list the contents with any authority, but I'm guessing that it included the T-shirt, but did NOT include the calendar, or the VHS tape. 3. American 'SAMS CLUB' release--This is the more familiar 'BOXED' version, seen on U.S. Ebay most of the time. It did NOT include the calendar, or the VHS tape. Now for the variations: *I have seen some of the canisters that do NOT have the sticker on the front(Tom's SAMS club one, and MY Australian Direct Sales version). I assume that EA ran out of stickers, and just continued to sell the packages. **I have also seen versions where various extras were NOT included in the SAMS boxes, and the advertising for the items on the outside of the box is just 'blackened out' with magic marker (--I assume another EA resolution to running out of a particular 'extra'). I'll do a bit more research on this, and post my results later, if anyone is interested. '...Preserving Worlds...'

Re: [SWCollect] New topic--Collectors UNITE!
I collect RPGs in general for the following platforms (in order of preference): IBM AppleII Amiga C64 Atari ST Sinclair Spectrum (probably not worth mentioning as I believe there are only two interesting/known RPGs on it: Bard's Tale and Times of Lore) I usually skip RPGs that do not exist on the IBM platform (which means, for example, I don't mind having a Bard's Tale on any of the above platforms, but if Bard's Tale never had an IBM PC version, I would not want it). The list above stands true for Ultimas, although with some extra exceptions, namely Atari 8 bits and some japanese platforms. -- Pedro R. Quaresma Salvador Caetano IMVT Div.

If you can get EA's legal department to give you permission, I would be happy to send you a copy of the WC3 tape. Getting that permission, however, may be a big problem. Considering the way EA protects their copyrights (as is their right), it could be a while before they allow you to do this. For those who don't know, the VHS tape that we're referring to is a high-quality version of the AVI file that was included in the 'Behind The Screens' CD, which was released with the Official Wing Commander 3 Strategy Guide (hintbook). Incidentally, that particular video was produced by Adam Foshko, Lead producer and writer for the soon-to-be-released FREELANCER! I've heard a lot about the game lately, and I've been told that it's basically an updated version of Privateer! (I can't WAIT for this one!) :) I also have another Origin promotional tape, that was distributed to software stores circa 1989. They are cheaply made advertisements for old Origin games like Windwalker, Knights of Legend, 2400 AD, and another (no Ultima tho.) They were obviously made 'in-house', and they are not the best-produced commercials that I've ever seen, but they are an interesting look at the birth of computer game advertising.
