Re: [SWCollect] Hello!
Not likely Yeah, well I hope not J remember what happened after that first Atari U1 fetched $860? Yes, and now what do they go for $100? What'severybody's guess on how many copies of Drashwere produced? Well from what I have gathered from John Williams and a few other ex-Sierra people they sold between 2,000-5,000 maybe evenless. John recalled how horrible the game was and how for awhile Sierra claimed that it never existed because they were embarrassed by it. So who knows how many of those still exist. Josh

In fact when I had my pictures up I didn't show the back of the card because I wanted to hide a tiny bit of verbiage. That was to keep potential scammers -- I had been felt out many times over the three years I was searching for a Drash -- from knowing everything about Drash. It wouldn't have helped with at least one guy that had to have seen an actual one, but it would have kept most at bay. Well, I was hoping it would. ;-) That particular Drash looks to be in better shape than mine. The box has more gloss, plus it has the registration card which I don't have. -- Edward Franks -- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.

Re: [SWCollect] Hello!
Welcome aboard, Josh! Now that all the confirmedDrash owners are in one place, I was curious about something. I notice from the pics on Tom's page -- http://members.aol.com/barbgame/Drash/drash.html-- your instruction cover (with "The Game" on it) doesn't have the Ultima: EFMD title above it.Josh, is yoursa different type of card, or is it the white card shown on Tom's page tucked inside it? (God, I can't imagine there'd be any Mt Drash *variations*!) Fortran, feel free to chime in, we all know you've got one too.

Re: [SWCollect] Hello!
I can actually answer this one... If you look at the unfolded card on Tom's page you can see the discoloration at the top of the light side (where the title is). When the card is closed along the horizontal fold the top section overhangs, leaving that sectionexposed. Steve - Original Message - From: C.E.

Re: [SWCollect] Hello!
Hey Chris, Thanks! As far as the instruction sheet, Tom has his folded out which is why you dont see the Ultima: EFMD title above it. If he folded it back in half you would see it. You can actually see the title on the shot of the inside of the sheet right below the shot of the outside. Not sure if that makes sense or not? ;) But I am 99.99% sure the our instruction sheets are identical. Josh - Original Message - From: C.E.
