RE: [SWCollect] hypothetical question
Good point on that one Pedro. I have that similar poster from the UK version of Barbarian II stored in plastic...very...nice. :-) Hugh :) Didn't Barbarian I have a poster too? Any chance you could tell me the exact contents of each of them? And, more important, for which platform do you have I and II? I've seen Barbarian I and II everywhere, but usually either the C64 or Sinclair Spectrum versions, with only the tape, cassette box (or whatever that's called) and the inlay instructions. No large box, manual, poster, etc. For the same reasons (ahem) as Barbarian, another game worth collecting is Vixen (Martech). Was this one ever released in the US? If so, by which name? Pedro R.

Re: [SWCollect] hypothetical question
Well, I have Barbarian II in a small quasi-5.25 box (slightly larger). It has the famous cover pic in front, a brief background story on the back (in I believe English, German and French), the contents include a poster of the cover (MAria Whittaker... ah), the game on 5.25 and a small manual. It's for the PC (got it to run once on an old 286, but even there timing seemed to be off. I'm guessing the poster must be the hard-to-get item here. I still haven't found any Barbarian with it anywhere I'd like t know which versions were released here in the states, wouldn't mind hunting that one down. The Death Sword and Axe of Rage boxes are completely different and completely uninteresting (read, no Maria Whittaker on them ;) Also, I remember Vixen, was the same, or very similar game engine to Thundercats. Hottie on the cover Corinne Russell, other (relatively) famous british page-3 girl. they just don't put hot chicks on enough covers anymore. Many people consider Lara Croft hot. God knows why. Does anyone else remember games like Turbo Girl, Game Over, Phantis and Megacorp? Now THAT was cover art. either that or being a young teenager at the time really engrained those in my head. I remember Game Over, as the drawing was made by Luis Royo, a great Spanish artist. Can you direct me to a scan of the others? With the same...errr... box topic, I remember an arcade game called Entity. Also, CE Forman has added on his page some information about Sex Vixens from Space. Karl Kuras Pedro R.

Weird... your copy didn't come with a regular poster. Mine has not other markings, but the ones from Palace. Hugh Falk wrote: The poster I have is from a UK magazine -- CV+G.

RE: [SWCollect] hypothetical question
Unfortunately, I can't find my original box (only the disks) for Barb II. The poster came for a magazine I got while in the UK. Dang...I'll have to look for an original on eBay now :-( Hugh -Original Message- From: Karl Kuras [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2001 4:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SWCollect] hypothetical question Weird... your copy didn't come with a regular poster.
